Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon in Raptors and Other Captive Birds at the National Zoological Garden in South Africa. [PDF]
Integr ZoolCaptive birds at the National Zoological Garden in South Africa harbor diverse haemosporidian parasite species and lineages. This might compromise conservation efforts of threatened species. ABSTRACT Avian haemosporidian infections have been associated with disease outbreaks in zoos and rehabilitation centers globally. This study aimed to determine the

Mechanism of Waterbird Diversity Succession and Its Contribution to Nutrient Loads in Chagan Lake, China. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe population and biodiversity of waterbird in the reserve have increased. NEL and nutrient concentrations significantly increased TLI of lake and reduced waterbird biodiversity. Piscivorous waterbirds can significantly increase the phosphorus load and herbivorous waterbirds can increase nitrogen load.

A Derived Morphology of the Quadrate May Support a Previously Unrecognized Major Higher-Level Clade of Neoavian Birds. [PDF]
J MorpholThe avian quadrate plays a critical role in cranial kinesis, but few comparative studies exist of its morphological variation across higher‐level taxa. In this study, the occurrence of a markedly concave articular facet of the condylus medialis is surveyed across neornithine birds.
