We identified Culex pipiens bloodmeals at the species level in natural, agricultural and peri‐urban habitats and calculated host preferences based on forage ratios. This analysis showed Passeriformes, and in particular Columba livia, Passer montanus and Turdus sp., to be the preferred Cx. pipiens hosts.

Phylogeny and biogeography of Oriolidae (Aves: Passeriformes) [PDF]
Understanding oscine passerine dispersal patterns out of their Australian area of origin is hampered by a paucity of robust phylogenies. We constructed a molecular phylogeny of the oscine family, Oriolidae, which is distributed from Australia through to the Old World.

Abstract A high‐quality reference genome can be a valuable resource for threatened species by providing a foundation to assess their evolutionary potential to adapt to future pressures such as environmental change. We assembled the genome of a female hihi (Notiomysits cincta), a threatened passerine bird endemic to Aotearoa New Zealand.

Chromosomes of Three Species of Muscicapidae (Passeriformes) [PDF]
SUMMARYThree species of birds, namely Chrysomma sinense hypoteucum, Orthotomus sutorius guzuratus and Prinia socialis stewarti, carry a diploid number of 76, 84 and 72 chromosomes, respectively. The karyotypic and morphometric details of their complements have also been given.

Predicting wildlife reservoirs and global vulnerability to zoonotic Flaviviruses. [PDF]
Flaviviruses continue to cause globally relevant epidemics and have emerged or re-emerged in regions that were previously unaffected. Factors determining emergence of flaviviruses and continuing circulation in sylvatic cycles are incompletely understood.

Foraging niche partitioning within a recently established guild of falcons
Ecological theory predicts that coexisting species should exhibit realized niche differentiation to minimize competition. However, little is known about patterns of niche differentiation when ‘newcomer’ species spontaneously colonize a new region, leading to novel sympatric conditions.

Responsiveness to photostimulation in two passeriform birds
Two studies were performed to analyze the photoperiodic interaction of testicular growth in brahminy myna and weaver bird. In the first study, birds were exposed to stimulatory long day lengths (15L:9D) and natural day length (NDL) for 60 days. The second study investigated the interpretation of a light pulse as ‘morning (entraining)’ or ‘evening ...

Karyotypes of four bird species of the order Passeriformes [PDF]
The karyotypes of four bird species in the order Passeriformes have been studied. The results further confirm that in birds, the karyotypes of closely related species are only slightly different. One of the species investigated, Chloris chloris, shows a special feature. Chromosome No. I can be either an st chromosome or an sm chromosome probably due to

RESUMO A ordem dos Passeriformes é uma das mais pressionadas pelas ações antrópicas, especialmente as relativas ao tráfico de animais, que, devido às más condições de manejo e higiênico-sanitárias, favorecem a infecção dos espécimes por patógenos ...
