Lost companions: a new quill mite species and its possible coextinction with the Carolina parakeet

Parasitology
Investigations of the parasites associated with extinct avian species provide unique insights into the ecology and evolution of both hosts and their parasitic counterparts. In the present paper, a new quill mite species, Peristerophila conuropsis sp. n.,

Diversity in olfactory bulb size in birds reflects allometry, ecology, and phylogeny [PDF]

, 2015
The relative size of olfactory bulbs (OBs) is correlated with olfactory capabilities across vertebrates and is widely used to assess the relative importance of olfaction to a species’ ecology.

Unveiling Novel Viral Diversity, Biogeography, and Host Networks in Wildlife Through High‐Throughput Sequencing Data Mining

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 46, December 11, 2025.
Analysis of 57 536 high‐throughput sequencing datasets uncovers a vast, hidden world of viruses in wildlife. The researchers reveal significant geographic and host‐specific patterns of viruses, and their surprising cross‐species transmissions, such as avian flu viruses infecting goats.
