Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Avian haemosporidian blood parasites are typically identified through Sanger sequencing of a partial cytochrome b fragment, the MalAvi barcoding region. Next‐generation sequencing is seldom used for avian blood parasite identification; this study demonstrates a higher detection rate of co‐infections via metabarcoding and its possible implications ...

DNA barcoding of passerine birds in Iran [PDF]
ZooKeysExploring genetic diversity is essential for precise species delimitation, especially within taxonomically complex groups like passerine birds. Traditional morphological methods often fail to resolve species boundaries; however, DNA barcoding, particularly through the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene, provides a powerful ...

Urbanization and Vector Species Shape Avian Malaria Prevalence in Mosquitoes
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Avian malaria prevalence was assessed in two mosquito species across urban and peri‐urban habitats. No infections were detected in either species in urban areas, while a 2.53% prevalence was found in the native Culex pipiens from peri‐urban sites, highlighting the influence of urbanization on parasite transmission dynamics.

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

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 ...

Skeletal evolution and convergence in the hyperdiverse passerine radiation [PDF]
Among vertebrates, passerine birds are an exceptionally diverse group (>6,000 living species) encompassing more than half of living bird diversity. In this thesis I present primary descriptive anatomical work (Chapters 2 & 4), phylogenetic inference ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Urban Eurasian tree sparrows exhibit pronounced nest‐site plasticity, exploiting vertical building space while preferring lower nest heights when sites are abundant. Nest decisions are driven by altitude and building height rather than other factors, indicating a shift toward anthropogenic resources in cities.

Evolution of Egg Pigmentation in Passerine Birds
, 2016 Avian eggs exhibit great diversity in color and markings, and are currently a source of ongoing interest in evolutionary and behavioral research. Previous research suggests that white immaculate eggs are the ancestral character, whereas background ...
