Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 The expression of the recently identified neuropeptide, amylin, is restricted in rodents to the postpartum preoptic area and may play a role in the control of parental behaviours and food intake.

Timing pattern of Common Cuckoo parasitism and its relation to host nest attendance
Ibis, EarlyView.Classical works show the adaptive importance of precise timing of egg‐laying in brood parasitic Common Cuckoos Cuculus canorus to ensure sufficient incubation time and successful hatching. Laying in the late afternoon has been suggested to increase the chance of secretive parasitism and therefore escape the aggressive mobbing by hosts, yet this ...

Ibis, EarlyView.Climatic change and anthropogenic disturbances are reshaping animal populations. Habitat loss and extreme climatic events are particularly strong drivers of declines in species that depend on forested areas. For migratory songbirds, climate and the persistence of suitable habitat over time are fundamental to sustaining populations annually.

, 2023 Abstract Songbirds that occur across the diverse types of North American rangelands constitute many families within the Order Passeriformes, and hundreds of species. Most are declining, and many are considered potential indicator species for rangeland ecosystems. We synthesized information on the natural and life history, habitat requirements,

Synaptic connectivity of sensorimotor circuits for vocal imitation in the songbird
eLifeSensorimotor computations for learning and behavior rely on precise patterns of synaptic connectivity. Yet, we typically lack the synaptic wiring diagrams for long-range connections between sensory and motor circuits in the brain.

A systematic review and meta‐analysis of variation in nest predation of ground‐nesting birds
Ibis, EarlyView.Predation and communities of predators of ground‐nesting bird nests and fledglings have been studied across multiple groups of ground‐nesting birds, such as waders, waterbirds, gamebirds and passerines, and habitats, but differences and similarities between groups are less studied.

Ecology and EvolutionPartial migration is a phenomenon where migratory and resident individuals of the same species co‐exist within a population, and has been linked to both intrinsic (e.g., genetic) as well as environmental factors.

Ibis, EarlyView.Sympatric species are expected to use resources differently along one or more ecological dimensions. This can be complex when there is partial separation along multiple dimensions, such as where bird species exhibit similarities in habitat use and diet.

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.New World vultures are the only avian clade proposed to lack a syrinx and have been described as non‐vocal. Using dissection, diceCT, and histology, we demonstrate that cathartid vultures have novel syringeal features that form a syrinx and vocal characterization reveals that they produce more complex vocalizations than previously reported.

Anthropogenic Nest Cavities Used by Snow Buntings in an Urban Arctic Landscape
Ecology and EvolutionNorthern and Arctic ecosystems are experiencing rapid climate change, and simultaneously, human populations in the North are growing and centralizing. The Snow Bunting (Plectrophenax nivalis) is a Holarctic‐breeding songbird and abundant in urban Iqaluit
