Estudo anatomo-topográfico do tubo digestório das espécies Athene cunicularia (Strigiformes, Strigidae) e Tyto alba (Strigiformes, Tytonidae) [PDF]

Pubvet, 2016
The digestive system is the "compartment" of the body responsible for the maintenance of life, and the digestive tract of each bird adapted to process and utilize as efficiently as possible the food available in their habitat. In order to broaden the knowledge regarding the anatomical digestive tract of birds, was addressed in a study ...

Use of Citizen Science to Determine Prey Partitioning Between Two Coastal Raptors

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
In Australia, Eastern Osprey (Pandion haliaetus cristatus) and White‐bellied Sea‐Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) occupy the same ecological niche and are suspected of partitioning prey resources. This study investigated this through evaluating the breadth, overlap and partitioning of diets recorded from social media posts.

Kiwi forego vison in the guidance of their nocturnal activities [PDF]

, 2007
We propose that the Kiwi visual system has undergone adaptive regression evolution driven by the trade-off between the relatively low rate of gain of visual information that is possible at low light levels, and the metabolic costs of extracting that ...

Spatial Patterns of Diversity in Forest Birds of Peninsular India

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
In this study, we analyzed patterns of diversity and endemism of forest birds across peninsular India, highlighting the influence of climate and topography. Our study shows that the southern Western Ghats are a major evolutionary hotspot for forest birds in peninsular India, and topographically complex and climatically stable areas support the highest ...

Diet of the Great Horned Owl Bubo virginianus nigrescens (Strigiformes: Strigidae) in the Northern Andes of Ecuador and a Literature Review of the Subspecies’ Dietary Patterns

bioRxiv
Understanding the feeding ecology of top avian predators is crucial to unravelling trophic interactions and informing conservation strategies. Great Horned Owl Bubo virginianus, among the most widespread nocturnal raptors in America, remains understudied

Validating Airborne eDNA Using Manual Surveys, Acoustic Monitoring and Camera Traps to Detect Birds and Mammals in an Agroforestry Setting

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
In this study, we provide the first comparison of airborne eDNA with observer‐based surveys and passive acoustic monitoring, alongside camera traps, to monitor birds and mammals in a Dutch agroforestry system. Airborne eDNA showed the highest potential species diversity, detected many unique species–including invasive mammals–and complemented ...

From Pigeons to Raptors: Avifauna Across the Early Upper Paleolithic Sequence of Manot Cave, Israel

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 526-541, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Avian exploitation during the Early Upper Paleolithic (EUP) is frequently interpreted as a marker of socioeconomic intensification across Europe and the Levant. However, the specific character of avian exploitation in the Levant has remained unexplored due to the scarcity of detailed zooarchaeological analyses. This study addresses this gap by
