Differences of morphological and ecological characters among lineages of Chilean Rhinocryptidae in relation an sister lineage of Furnariidae. [PDF]

, 2008
Eight species of Rhinocryptidae are recognized from Chile. Moreover, morphological, ecological and behavioral differences among two lineages of _Scytalopus_ and two species of _Pteroptochos_ are unclear. According to our results, there are no decisive

Mortality by filarial nematodes in passeriformes of species Oryzoborus maximiliani in Brazil Mortalidade por nematódeos filarióides em passeriformes da espécie Oryzoborus maximiliani no Brasil

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2000
Descreve-se a ocorrência de filariose em passeriformes da espécie Oryzoborus maximiliani (bicudo) mantidos em cativeiro. Os sinais clínicos incluiram insuficiência respiratória e prostração, evoluindo para decúbito lateral e morte.

Insect ectoparasites from wild passerine birds in the Azores Islands

Parasite, 2020
A total of 266 wild passerine birds (Passeriformes) representing eight species and nine subspecies from three islands of the Archipelago of the Azores were examined for ectoparasites. Two species of louse-flies Ornithomya avicularia and Ornithoica turdi (

The Swedish Arctic Fox Project: 40 years of research in ecology and conservation

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
The 4 central research themes in The Swedish Arctic Fox Project and key deliverables for practical conservation achieved over 4 decades. Abstract The scientific community widely recognizes the value of long‐term studies, especially those with individual‐level resolution; however, maintaining a consecutive data series is associated with multiple ...

Ecological constraints on elevational gradients of bird species richness in Tajikistan

Avian Research, 2022
The avifauna in Tajikistan has been widely studied for the last century, but specific work on species richness pattern along elevation gradients in Tajikistan is rarely investigated. Here, we reported the first study of bird species richness (BSR) in the

How Passive Acoustic and Traditional Monitoring Estimate Bird Diversity Across Habitats

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We compared traditional bird counts (PC) with passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) in a heterogeneous Alpine landscape. PAM recorded twice as many species, with a strong correlation between species richness and the bird counts (rs = 0.71); however, there were significant differences depending on habitat type.

Diet, phenology and body size shape nutrient release by songbirds

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animals can dramatically alter ecosystem structure and function through the cycling and transport of nutrients in their waste. While birds are particularly capable of influencing nutrient cycles due to their high mobility, abundance, metabolism and functional diversity,

Torpor‐assisted migration: Regular use of shallow torpor reduces rest‐phase energy expenditure for songbirds during migration

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Migrating songbirds regularly use shallow torpor (up to 98% of birds for some species) to save energy (up to 42%) during inactive periods. This Ruby‐crowned Kinglet Corthylio calendula that was captured after a spring snowstorm highlights the value of being able to save energy when encountering unfavourable conditions.
