Environmental and Evolutionary Forces Shaping Penguin Geographic Limits
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 9, September 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Penguins are seabirds exclusively found in the Southern Hemisphere, with their existence dating back to the late Cretaceous. Despite their exceptional dispersal capabilities, which allow them to inhabit a wide range of environments—from polar regions to temperate zones, and even near the Equator—penguins are absent in the Northern ...

Ecomorphological Analysis of the Bird Lumbosacral Organ in an Evolutionary Context
Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 8, August 2025.Our geometric morphometric analysis of 36 bird species reveals locomotor‐linked adaptations in the lumbosacral organ (LSO). Perching birds show proportionally larger LSOs, while aquatic species exhibit elongated vertebral canals. We demonstrate strong pelvic‐LSO covariation and significant phylogenetic signals, supporting the LSO's role in equilibrium ...

Same‐sex partnerships in birds: a review of the current literature and a call for more data
Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 3, May 2025.Same‐sex sexual behaviour (SSB), encompassing actions such as courtship, pair bonding, and parenting between individuals of the same sex, has been observed across numerous taxa, including birds. Yet despite its widespread occurrence, SSB remains poorly understood, often dismissed as maladaptive or the result of errors in sex discrimination.
