The Complete Genome Sequences of 22 Species of Owls (Strigiformes, Aves). [PDF]
Biodivers GenomesWe present the complete genome sequences of 22 species of owls. Illumina sequencing was performed on DNA extracted from wild-caught specimens. The reads were assembled using a de novo method followed by a finishing step.

Association between bat-predator species richness and Nipah virus spillover risk in Bangladesh [PDF]
One HealthSpecies biodiversity is considered to reduce infectious diseases spillover from wildlife to human. However, despite the potential role of predator biodiversity in this process through trophic cascade, few studies have addressed this issue. In this study,

To the problem of owls’ (Strigiformes) diet selectivity
Біологічні студії, 2012 A large body of literature covers the trophic connections of owls nowadays, but detailed studies of the diet selectivity are rather race. Any attempt to determine the character of owls’ diet selectivity, its influence on prey-species assemblages ...
