Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the South Korean Eurasian eagle-owl, Bubo bubo spp. kiautschenis (Strigiformes; Strigidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA Part B: ResourcesGenomic data of the Eurasian eagle-owl (Bubo bubo Kiautschenis; B. bubo), an endangered species in South Korea is lacking. This study presents its first complete mitochondrial genome of Bubo bubo (GenBank accession no. OR756278).

Evolutionary history reveals information on the functionality of ear tufts in owls (family: Strigidae) [PDF]
Frontiers in ZoologyBackground Ear tufts are plumage features which have particularly high prevalence in owls (Strigidae). Several hypotheses have been developed to explain their function, mostly including camouflage, species recognition, deterring predators/mobbers, and ...

The pectoralis muscle orientation as an indicator of the modes of wing-propelled locomotion in birds. [PDF]
J AnatThe pectoralis orientation of birds was consistent with the orientation of the aerodynamic force acting on the wing, varying by wing‐propelled locomotion (WPL) mode. The skeletal morphology unique to each WPL mode, related to the origin/insertion of the pectoralis, may be associated with these functional demands of pectoralis orientation.

Eyespots in <i>Automeris</i> Moths Mimic Sympatric Owl Species (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae). [PDF]
Ecol EvolEyespot mimicry is a common anti‐predator strategy in moths, yet the mechanism underlying its effectiveness in Automeris remains unresolved. Using species distribution models, convolutional neural networks, and saliency mapping, we show that Automeris eyespots are visually confusable with sympatric owl eyes and that this similarity is concentrated in ...

Citizen science reveals host-switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change. [PDF]
Med Vet EntomolA study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...
