Comparative reproductive ecology of Old and New World Trogons, an order in decline across the world. [PDF]
We examine the avian order Trogoniformes, which has 76% of its species classified as declining and assess possible reasons for such worldwide declines. We provide field data on breeding biology and life history for three species and review the literature for the order.

Vocalisation of the rare and flagship species Pharomachrus mocinno (Aves: Trogonidae): implications for its taxonomy, evolution and conservation [PDF]
The Resplendent Quetzal Pharomachrus mocinno is a rare Neotropical bird included in the IUCN red list as Near Threatened. Fragmentation of its habitat, the cloud forest, is considered as the principal threat. Two subspecies are currently recognised but genetic and morphometric studies suggested they could be considered as full species.
