A Derived Morphology of the Quadrate May Support a Previously Unrecognized Major Higher-Level Clade of Neoavian Birds. [PDF]
J MorpholThe avian quadrate plays a critical role in cranial kinesis, but few comparative studies exist of its morphological variation across higher‐level taxa. In this study, the occurrence of a markedly concave articular facet of the condylus medialis is surveyed across neornithine birds.

Differences in Dietary Composition and Interspecific Competition Among Large Carnivores on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study elucidated the mechanisms underlying regional coexistence among the snow leopard (Panthera uncia), wolf (Canis lupus), and brown bear (Ursus arctos) through the analysis of their trophic niches. The findings provide a scientific foundation for further investigation into the mechanisms that maintain carnivore communities in high‐altitude ...

Rapid Global Deforestation Leaves Forest-Dependent Raptors With Half of Their Suitable Habitat Remaining. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolWe analyzed high‐resolution global data on forest change between 2001 and 2023 within the ranges of 369 forest‐dependent raptor species. On average, these species have lost 10% of forest within their ranges since 2001. Seventy‐seven species had already lost at least 15% of additional forest cover within their ranges in the latter half of the 20th ...
