Frugivory in Raptors: New Observations from Australia and a Global Review
Birds, 2021 The diets of raptors are some of the best studied and well-known of all bird groups. Raptors are typically carnivores, hunting and feeding on vertebrates and, for some species, invertebrates. Here, we described instances of the Black Kite (Milvus migrans)

Tracing Human Footprint in Bird Nests: Plastic Occurrence and Drivers in the Long-Legged Buzzard (<i>Buteo rufinus</i>). [PDF]
Ecol EvolLong‐legged Buzzard (Buteo rufinus) nests function as long‐term reservoirs of macroplastics, with plastic material persisting in nest structures and being transferred to other bird species through interspecific nest reuse. This persistence creates an overlooked pathway for the accumulation and spread of plastic pollution in terrestrial ecosystems, with

Superpredation patterns in four large European raptors [PDF]
, 2011 Predatory interactions among top predators, like superpredation or intraguild predation (IGP), can influence community structure. Diurnal raptors occupy high trophic levels in terrestrial food webs, and thus can regulate the presence of mesopredators. We

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.
