A novel mitochondrial gene order in shorebirds (Scolopacidae, Charadriiformes) [PDF]

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2010
Although the mitochondrial genome in birds has highly conserved features, with protein genes similar to mammals and amphibians, several variations in gene order around the hypervariable control region have been found. Here we report a novel gene arrangement around the control region in shorebirds (Charadriiformes).

Underestimation of avian diversity in the Tumbesian hotspot: Sampling gaps and conservation challenges

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study provides the first comprehensive reassessment of avian diversity in the Tumbesian region in over 30 years, documenting 931 species and identifying significant sampling gaps driven by geographic accessibility. We reveal a critical misalignment between biodiversity value and current protection coverage, particularly in humid forests which ...

Recovery of skeletal elements and extended wing from a mounted specimen of the nearly extinct Slender-billed Curlew (Numenius tenuirostris)

Rivista Italiana di Ornitologia - Research in Ornithology, 2018
The Slender-billed Curlew (Numenius tenuirostris) is a very rare Palaearctic Scolopacidae, classified Critically Endangered by the IUCN, with the last accepted record in 2001. In the museum collections, it is commonly preserved with mounted specimens and

Mechanisms promoting higher growth rate in arctic than in temperate shorebirds [PDF]

, 2003
We compared prefledging growth, energy expenditure, and time budgets in the arctic-breeding red knot (Calidris canutus) to those in temperate shorebirds, to investigate how arctic chicks achieve a high growth rate despite energetic difficulties ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Tringa ochropus (Charadriiformes, Scolopacidae) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2016
The green sandpiper Tringa ochropus (Charadriiformes, Scolopacidae) is completely migratory with an extremely large distribution range. However, its habitat ecology, and disease spreading are relatively understudied, and the molecular genetics is relatively unclear. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of T.

Global analysis of annual survival among shorebirds reveals a negative effect of migration distance and a decline in recent decades

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Annual survival is a key demographic parameter driving population trends in wildlife populations. However, despite numerous species‐specific or regional studies, global reviews of the factors affecting the survival of declining taxa remain scarce. Here, we investigated annual survival of fledged immature and adult shorebirds, a globally‐distributed and

Modelling the national breeding distribution and population size of an elusive forest bird, the Eurasian Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola)

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 1034-1054, July 2026.
Understanding the distribution of species is central to conservation biology. Species distribution modelling (SDM) is a standard method used for this purpose, especially for elusive species for which limited occurrence data exist. The Eurasian Woodcock Scolopax rusticola (hereafter Woodcock) is an elusive, woodland‐dwelling wader that is declining in ...
