A Bird’s-Eye View of Chromosomic Evolution in the Class Aves [PDF]

Cells
Birds (Aves) are the most speciose of terrestrial vertebrates, displaying Class-specific characteristics yet incredible external phenotypic diversity. Critical to agriculture and as model organisms, birds have adapted to many habitats.

Sphenisciformes, Gaviiformes, Podicipediformes, Procellariiformes, and Pelecaniformes

Pathology of Wildlife and Zoo Animals, 2018
Penguins are flightless seabirds with unique anatomy. Although susceptible to a wide range of diseases, aspergillosis and avian malaria dominate captive mortalities, whereas starvation impacts free-ranging colonies. Gastrointestinal foreign bodies, pododermatitis, drug and heavy metal toxicities are relevant in captivity; oil and algal biotoxicities in

Helminths Assemblage of the bare-faced ibis, Phimosus infuscatus (Lichtenstein, 1823) (Pelecaniformes: Threskiornithidae), in southern Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2019
Birds act as hosts for a variety of parasites, many of these are unreported. The literature provides scant information on the helminth fauna of Phimosus infuscatus.

Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon in Raptors and Other Captive Birds at the National Zoological Garden in South Africa. [PDF]

Integr Zool
Captive 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

Machine Learning-Based Geospatial Risk Modeling of Global Avian Influenza Outbreaks. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
The rapid spread of H5N1 avian influenza poses a global threat, highlighting the need for robust spatiotemporal risk assessment. In this study, we developed a global modeling framework integrating machine learning (ML) models and geospatial analysis to characterize H5N1 outbreak risk under varying environmental, ecological, and anthropogenic conditions.

Mechanism of Waterbird Diversity Succession and Its Contribution to Nutrient Loads in Chagan Lake, China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The 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.

Predation of the fiddler crab, Minuca osa (Brachyura: Ocypodidae), by Eudocimus albus (Pelecaniformes: Threskiornithidae) from Ponuga, Veraguas, Panama

Revista Ciencias Marinas y Costeras, 2023
Numerous avian species prey on fiddler crabs, yet the ecological relationships involving Minuca osa crabs and their predators remain poorly understood. We report the first documented cases of M. osa predation by White Ibis, Eudocimus albus.

Sedimentary Metagenomics Reveal Avian Community Transitions From the Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We used sedimentary ancient DNA shotgun metagenomics to reconstruct past bird communities in northern high‐latitude environments. By using long time series and data collected across a large environmental gradient, we contributed in a unique and explorative way to the understanding of palaeoecological dynamics between birds and their habitat on the ...

First sighting record of Western Reef-Heron Egretta gularis (Bosc, 1792) (Aves: Pelecaniformes: Ardeidae) from Jammu & Kashmir, India

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2023
We report the first documented sighting of a Western Reef-Heron (Egretta gularis) in Jammu & Kashmir, India. The Western Reef-Heron, a medium-sized heron, was previously considered a subspecies of the Little Egret. The sighting occurred on June 18, 2023,
