Transcriptomics Reveal Molecular Signatures of a Resolved Sexual Conflict and Potential Association With Colour Polymorphism in Tawny Owls [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Genome sharing in gonochorous species is expected to result in intraspecific conflicts due to intersexual competition. The emergence of sexual dimorphism is thus connected to the evolution of mechanisms that, starting from a similar genomic background, produce sufficiently disparate phenotypes to attenuate sexually antagonistic selection.

Analysis of clinical and hematological characteristics and search for hemoparasites in owls (Strigiformes: ‎Strigidae) seized or rescued from the Atlantic Forest biome of the Rio de Janeiro (southeastern Brazil)

Bioscience Journal, 2023
Hemoparasitism is known to vary according to the presence of vectors and hosts, and hematological examination can be a useful tool for early diagnosis in avian medicine, contributing to monitoring and conservation of bird populations. In this context, we

Seroprevalence and Risk Analysis of Toxoplasma Gondii in Wild Birds of District Lahore Punjab, Pakistan

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.

Unusual association between Ornithonyssus bursa (Berlese, 1888) (Mesostigmata: Macronyssidae) and Parabuteo unicinctus (Temminck, 1824) (Accipitriformes: Accipitridae) in Paraíba State, Brazil

Entomological Communications, 2021
Ornithonyssus bursa (Berlese, 1888), known as the tropical fowl mite, is a hematophagous mite of domestic and wild birds. This mite can bite humans accidentally, causing “gamasoidosis,” “avian-mite dermatitis,” or “bird-mite dermatitis” in tropical and ...

Sedimentary Metagenomics Reveal Avian Community Transitions From the Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We used sedimentary ancient DNA shotgun metagenomics to reconstruct past bird communities in northern high‐latitude environments. By using long time series and data collected across a large environmental gradient, we contributed in a unique and explorative way to the understanding of palaeoecological dynamics between birds and their habitat on the ...
