Evolution of posture in amniotes–Diving into the trabecular architecture of the femoral head
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 36, Issue 8, Page 1150-1165, August 2023., 2023 We use 3D microanatomical parameters measured at the femoral head to study femoral posture in amniotes. We show that these parameters are not good indicators of femoral posture. Methods of ancestral state reconstruction hold great promise for improving our understanding of the evolution of posture in amniotes.

Global patterns and predictors of avian population density
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 7, Page 1189-1204, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim How population density varies across animal species in the context of environmental gradients, and associated migratory strategies, remains poorly understood. The recent influx of avian trait data and population density estimates allows these patterns to be described and explored in unprecedented detail.

About the alleged record of the Rheidae Diogenornis in the Cenozoic of Argentina: new interpretations [PDF]
, 2022 A tibiotarsus (MACN-A 12195) collected by Ameghino in the Sarmiento Formation (Eocene–lower Miocene) outcropping in the ‘Río Chico locality’ (Chubut Province, Argentina) assigned to Diogenornis (Rheiformes, Palaeognathae), and a second limb bone (MPEF-PV

Bird genetic databases need improved curation and error reporting to NCBI
Ibis, Volume 165, Issue 2, Page 472-481, April 2023., 2023 The ongoing biodiversity crisis is causing rapid species losses faster than taxonomists' capacity to describe new species. Integrative taxonomic approaches need robust taxonomic baseline data to correctly describe and conserve global species diversity, in which genetic data are one of the pillars.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 305, Issue 9, Page 2312-2330, September 2022., 2022 Abstract In several taxa of Neornithes (crown group birds), the lacrimal/ectethmoid complex exhibits small bones, the comparative osteology of which is poorly studied. Some of these ossicles—which are commonly known as uncinate bones (ossa uncinata or ossa lacrimopalatina)—were already described two centuries ago, but knowledge of their distribution ...

Co‐infections: Simultaneous detections of West Nile virus and Usutu virus in birds from Germany
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 2, Page 776-792, March 2022., 2022 Abstract The emergence of West Nile virus (WNV) and Usutu virus (USUV) in Europe resulted in significant outbreaks leading to avifauna mortality and human infections. Both viruses have overlapping geographical, host and vector ranges, and are often co‐circulating in Europe.

Palaeoenvironmental and faunal inferences based on the avian fossil record of Patagonia and Pampa: What works and what does not [PDF]
, 2011 Analysing the effect of climatic/environmental changes on bird communities during the South American Cenozoic is quite complicated. Taking into consideration the extremely complex evolution of such environmental conditions and the incomplete and episodic
