Circulation of zoonotic flaviviruses in wild passerine birds in Western Spain.
Veterinary Microbiology, 2022 We explore the presence of zoonotic flaviviruses (West Nile virus (WNV) and Usutu virus (USUV)) neutralizing antibodies in rarely studied passerine bird species. We report, for the first time in Europe, WNV-specific antibodies in red avadavat and cetti's

The Impact of Acute Loud Noise on the Behavior of Laboratory Birds
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Husbandry procedures and facility settings, such as low-frequency fire alarms, can produce noises in a laboratory environment that cause stress to animals used in research.

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2023 Knowledge gaps about the basic demography of a species facing population declines impede conservation efforts. For many passerine species, the survival rate of the post-fledging stage is unknown but may directly contribute to population trajectories ...

Maternal gut microbes shape the early-life assembly of gut microbiota in passerine chicks via nests
Microbiome, 2020 Background Knowledge is growing on how gut microbiota are established, but the effects of maternal symbiotic microbes throughout early microbial successions in birds remain elusive.

Effect of sex on the gut microbiota characteristics of passerine migratory birds
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 The gut microbiota, considered the “invisible organ” in the host animal, has been extensively studied recently. However, knowledge about the gut microbiota characteristics of passerine migratory birds during migration is limited.

Earth history and the passerine superradiation
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Our understanding of the factors that affected the diversification of passerines, the most diverse and widespread bird order (Passeriformes), is limited.

Linkage mapping reveals sex-dimorphic map distances in a passerine bird [PDF]
, 2005 Linkage maps are lacking for many highly influential model organisms in evolutionary research, including all passerine birds. Consequently, their full potential as research models is severely hampered.

Oxidative stress in endurance flight: an unconsidered factor in bird migration [PDF]
, 2014 Migrating birds perform extraordinary endurance flights, up to 200 h non-stop, at a very high metabolic rate and while fasting. Such an intense and prolonged physical activity is normally associated with an increased production of reactive oxygen and ...
