Rapid responses of marsh birds to large‐scale tidal wetland restoration in California's Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Tidal wetland restoration is widely used to recover ecosystem function in modified estuaries, yet uncertainty remains about how quickly wildlife communities respond. Early trajectories are central to evaluating restoration success, guiding adaptive management, and building ecosystem resilience in engineered landscapes. Marsh birds

Osteological correlates of the respiratory and vascular systems in the neural canals of Mesozoic ornithurines Ichthyornis and Janavis

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2725-2738, October 2026.
Abstract In birds, the neural canal houses a variety of anatomical structures including the spinal cord, meninges, spinal vasculature, and respiratory diverticula. Among these, paramedullary diverticula and the extradural dorsal spinal vein may leave behind osteological correlates in the form of pneumatic foramina and fossae, and a bilobed geometry of ...

Courtship display behavior influences tail myology in Centrocercus minimus (Gunnison sage‐grouse)

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 705-713, October 2026.
Courtship displays among birds are widespread, particularly those which incorporate raised tail feathers for extended periods of time. The Gunnison sage‐grouse (Centrocercus minimus) is such a species. When we compared the tail muscles of the sage‐grouse to birds which do not engage in erected tail fan postures, both morphology proportional mass ...

Prioritizing removals of a highly cryptic invasive species using machine learning and demographic weighting

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 6, September 2026.
Abstract Invasive species present substantial challenges to biodiversity conservation, particularly when low detectability and demographic heterogeneity obscure the population‐level consequences of management actions. Invasive Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus) in South Florida exemplify this challenge, as metrics based on raw removals or body size ...

The genome sequence of the European shag, Gulosus aristotelis (previously Phalacrocorax aristotelis) (Linnaeus, 1761) [version 2; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Gulosus aristotelis, previously known as Phalacrocorax aristotelis, (the European shag; Chordata; Aves; Pelecaniformes; Phalacrocoracidae). The genome sequence is 1,279.1 megabases in length. Most of

Diversity and prevalence of hemoparasites of wading birds in southern Florida, USA

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2017
Relatively few studies on hemoparasites have been conducted on wading birds in the families Ardeidae and Threskiornithidae (order Pelecaniformes), especially in the United States.

Investigations of the tick burden on passeriform, water-associated and predatory birds reveal new tick–host associations and habitat-related factors of tick infestation

Parasites & Vectors
Background Previous studies on the tick infestation of birds in the Carpathian Basin focused on songbirds (Passeriformes). Thus, the primary aim of the present work was to extend the scope of previous studies, i.e.
