Species composition and distribution of gallinaceous birds (Aves, Galliformes) in the south of eastern Europe during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene—a review

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
This study investigates the species composition and distribution of gallinaceous birds (Galliformes) in the south of eastern Europe, specifically within the territory of present‐day Ukraine, during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene. The research is based on the comprehensive revision of skeletal remains found at archaeological sites.

Translating statistical species-habitat models to interactive decision support tools. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Understanding species-habitat relationships is vital to successful conservation, but the tools used to communicate species-habitat relationships are often poorly suited to the information needs of conservation practitioners.

Balancing selection and recombination as evolutionary forces caused population genetic variations in golden pheasant MHC class I genes

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2016
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes are vital partners in the acquired immune processes of vertebrates. MHC diversity may be directly associated with population resistance to infectious pathogens. Here, we screened for polymorphisms in exons

A new species of jewel‐babbler (Cinclosomatidae: Ptilorrhoa) from the Southern Fold Mountains of Papua New Guinea

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Based on distinctive morphological and vocal characters we describe a new species of jewel‐babbler (genus Ptilorrhoa) from the forested karst of the Southern Fold Mountains in Papua New Guinea. The description is based on camera trap data and is presented in accordance with ICZN Declaration 45.

Complex demographic, developmental, fitness, and physiological responses of larval eastern hellbenders to elevated water conductivity

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Here we explore the effects of elevated water conductivity on larval eastern hellbenders (Cryptobranchus a. alleganiensis), both lethal and sublethal. We found that elevated water conductivity significantly impacts both survival and morphology, though it has limited effects on locomotor performance, stress physiology, and oxidative stress.
