Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 3, May 2026.Lunar illumination and environmental conditions are known to shape vocal behavior of nocturnal birds, but few studies have simultaneously compared responses across multiple owl species. Using a full‐year passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) dataset from Yushan National Park, Taiwan, we investigated how four sympatric Strigidae species – mountain scops‐owl

Habitat and species segregation of Strigiformes in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
El Hornero, 2023 The order Strigiformes contains approximately 250 owl species distributed worldwide, and the majority of them live in forests. Although basic information is available on many owls, few have been studied in-depth; consequently, little is known about the role of vegetation in their lives.

An overview of the oldest and most comprehensive avifauna of the early Eocene British London Clay
Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Abstract Early Eocene birds from the British London Clay have been known for two centuries, but a comprehensive understanding of the avifauna of the London Clay Formation is still in its infancy. In the present study, the bird assemblage of the Walton Member is reviewed, which represents one of the oldest subdivisions of the formation.

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.This study found that over 10% of wild birds in Lahore, Pakistan, carry antibodies for Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite that can cause serious illness in humans and animals. Birds like lapwings and silver bills showed especially high antibody rates. Improved monitoring is needed to better understand risk dynamics in Pakistan.

Phylogeny, biogeography, and diversification of barn owls (Aves: Strigiformes) [PDF]
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2016 The existence of substantial morphological variation has resulted in the description of numerous subspecies of the cosmopolitan barn owl, Tyto alba. However, preliminary studies have revealed a high degree of genetic variation between Old and New World barn owls, suggesting that the T. alba complex may consist of several species.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Introduction and Aim Spatiotemporal and taxonomic sampling bias in biodiversity occurrence data poses critical challenges for robust ecological inference, species distribution models (SDMs), and conservation planning. Despite the exponential growth in global biodiversity records over recent decades, these biases persist.
