Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract The biodiversity crisis necessitates spatially extensive methods to monitor multiple taxonomic groups for evidence of change in response to evolving environmental conditions. Programs that combine passive acoustic monitoring and machine learning are increasingly used to meet this need. These methods require large, annotated datasets, which are

Avian Research, 2020 Background The dynamics and structure of many bird communities are changing due to the global warming and changes in the land use and management. The Ebro Valley constitutes one of the chief wintering areas for several passerine species in Iberia, and ...

Phylogenetic and phenotypic divergence of an insular radiation of birds [PDF]
, 2010 Evolutionary divergence of lineages is one of the key mechanisms underpinning large scale patterns in biogeography and biodiversity. Island systems have been highly influential in shaping theories of evolutionary diversification and here I use the ...

Does a passerine hibernate? [PDF]
, 2019 ABSTRACTThe thermal physiology of the highly endangered Rock Wren (Xenicus gilviventris) from New Zealand is examined. It is a member of the Acanthisittidae, a family unique to New Zealand. This family, derived from Gondwana, is thought to be the sister taxon to all other passerines.

Stable Isotope Analysis as a Tool to Prevent Illicit Wildlife Trade of Songbirds in Brazil
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Feather isotopes provide clear differences between wild and captive songbirds in Brazil. Combining multiple isotopes improved classification accuracy and revealed individuals falsely declared as captive‐bred. These results demonstrate the potential of isotope analysis to detect wildlife laundering in the bird trade.

Evidence of northward range expansion: new record of Curruca melanocephala (Gmelin, 1789) (Passeriformes, Sylviidae) in Serbia [PDF]
Check ListThe Sardinian Warbler, Curruca melanocephala (Gmelin, 1789), a typically Mediterranean species, is only occasionally recorded in continental parts of the Balkans. This note presents the fourth national record and the earliest seasonal observation of this

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.

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Insectivorous, Afro‐Palearctic migrant birds provide cross‐border ecosystem services, but many are declining rapidly. The complex life cycle of migrant birds makes their conservation difficult, but understanding where they spend time during the breeding season can help indicate where those actions will be most effective.

Site‐Specific Impacts of Urbanisation on Annual Survival of a Forest Bird
Ecology and EvolutionHabitat changes associated with urbanization have major and complex effects on wildlife. In birds, urban populations often have lower reproductive success but are able to maintain similar or higher densities than non‐urban populations.
