Forest cover positively affects the occurrence of understory insectivorous Passeriformes in bird communities of the Atlantic Forest

open access: yes, 2023
Understory insectivorous Passeriformes are known for their vulnerability to forest loss and degradation. Here we investigated whether the proportion of groups of understory insectivorous Passeriformes with different levels of specialization increase ...

Relationship between carina size and sternum morphology in birds reflects physical constraints of body size and flight style

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Sternum morphology varies among birds and is a function of body mass and order. The area of the sternum is inversely related to the area of the keel suggesting that the increase in bone mass associated with a large keel has been mitigated by a reduction in bone mass of the sternum.

Rapid responses of marsh birds to large‐scale tidal wetland restoration in California's Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Tidal wetland restoration is widely used to recover ecosystem function in modified estuaries, yet uncertainty remains about how quickly wildlife communities respond. Early trajectories are central to evaluating restoration success, guiding adaptive management, and building ecosystem resilience in engineered landscapes. Marsh birds

Minor Risk to Contract Metazoan Parasites via the Consumption of Edible Snails, Born and Reared in France

open access: yesZoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In a context of food security of animal consumption and diversification of protein sources, we have studied the risks to contract metazoan parasites through the consumption of ‘gros‐gris’ snails (Cornu aspersum maximum) sampled in 12 French farms.

Blankaartia sinnamaryi (Trombidiformes: Trombiculidae) parasitizing birds in southeastern Brazil, with notes on Rickettsia detection

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2018
The larvae of the family Trombiculidae are ectoparasites of vertebrates, including birds. The bite of some species can cause deep lesions and severe skin reactions in the host, these can lead to dermatitis, popularly known as trombiculiasis.

Impact of Rainfall on Aquatic and Terrestrial Species Monitoring Using Riverine Environmental DNA

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) has enabled simultaneous monitoring of aquatic and terrestrial vertebrates, yet the influence of rainfall on detection patterns remains poorly understood. In this study, we sampled river water in the Kiyotake catchment in Japan and compared vertebrate detection patterns under rainfall and non‐rainfall conditions.

Forest bird body condition and fruit consumption related to spotted wing Drosophila abundance and fruit parasitism

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Migratory bird species are under heavy energetic demands following the breeding season. Birds must first complete a pre‐migratory molt and build fat deposits during the postbreeding season for migration. Many birds utilize early successional habitat, consuming fruit resources for energy and using cover provided by vegetation.
