Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.During the 18th and 19th centuries, bird feathers (class: Aves) were harvested from wild populations and sold globally in enormous quantities to meet the rising demand of the fashion industry. Although many laws now prevent similar widescale harvest, there is a paucity of studies on the trade that has continued to occur since the 20th century.

Outline shape analysis of penguin humeri: a robust approach to taxonomic classification
Polar Research, 2020 Humeri have been useful bones in taxonomic determinations of extinct penguins. In the context of neontological taxonomic studies, however, their potential remains unsatisfactorily explored.

Past research and future directions in understanding how birds use their sense of smell
Ibis, Volume 167, Issue 4, Page 853-881, October 2025.Our understanding of the functional importance of olfaction to birds has improved over the past 60 years, largely as the result of experimental studies testing how birds use their sense of smell in different contexts. As it is impossible to measure directly which odours birds can detect, we rely on measuring behavioural responses to scent cues or ...

Epidemiology and molecular phylogeny of Babesia sp. in Little Penguins Eudyptula minor in Australia
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2015 Blood parasites are potential threats to the health of penguins and to their conservation and management. Little penguins Eudyptula minor are native to Australia and New Zealand, and are susceptible to piroplasmids (Babesia), hemosporidians (Haemoproteus,

Avian Lifespan Network Reveals Shared Mechanisms and New Key Players in Animal Longevity
Aging Cell, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2025.In this work, we found that birds with similar lifespans exhibit convergent evolution in specific genes, suggesting that shared evolutionary pressures shape the genetic basis of lifespan similarity across species. By investigating protein–protein interactions across genes evolving convergently in long‐ and short‐lived species, we identified a network ...
