The Anatomical Record, Volume 305, Issue 9, Page 2312-2330, September 2022., 2022 Abstract In several taxa of Neornithes (crown group birds), the lacrimal/ectethmoid complex exhibits small bones, the comparative osteology of which is poorly studied. Some of these ossicles—which are commonly known as uncinate bones (ossa uncinata or ossa lacrimopalatina)—were already described two centuries ago, but knowledge of their distribution ...

Predicting breeding systems to guide conservation strategies: A kiwi example
Ethology, Volume 128, Issue 7, Page 538-549, July 2022., 2022 The nocturnal, flightless New Zealand national icon North Island brown kiwi, Apteryx mantelli, is receiving a lot of conservation attention. By combining theoretical, empirical, and species‐specific data with a phylogenetic context, we suggest that the breeding system of this species likely is more flexible than previously appreciated.

EFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue 2, February 2022., 2022 Abstract Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) was identified among the most relevant antimicrobial‐resistant (AMR) bacteria in the EU for poultry in a previous scientific opinion. Thus, it has been assessed according to the criteria of the Animal Health Law (AHL), in particular criteria of Article 7 on disease profile and impacts, Article 5 on its ...

Wild and domestic savanna herbivores increase smaller vertebrate diversity, but less than additively
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 58, Issue 5, Page 953-963, May 2021., 2021 Our findings imply that grazing, whether by livestock or wildlife, can enhance local savanna wildlife diversity. The biodiversity benefits of localised increases in herbivory are likely to be due to shortened grass and associated visibility improvements (for predator avoidance/foraging).

The Anatomical Record, Volume 304, Issue 4, Page 845-859, April 2021., 2021 Abstract The comparative morphology of juvenile avian skulls is poorly known. Here, we survey the shape of the squamosal (os squamosum) across juvenile skulls of avian higher‐level clades. In all palaeognathous birds, the rostral end of the squamosal does not surpass the parietal and does not reach the frontal.

Protein sequences bound to mineral surfaces persist into deep time
eLife, 2016 Proteins persist longer in the fossil record than DNA, but the longevity, survival mechanisms and substrates remain contested. Here, we demonstrate the role of mineral binding in preserving the protein sequence in ostrich (Struthionidae) eggshell ...

Historical ostriches in the Libyan Desert, with ecological and taxonomic considerations
Natural History SciencesMany historical records extend the known range of the African ostrich Struthio camelus to include almost the entire state territory of Libya. This significant expansion augments the spatial potentialities to reintroduce captive-bred progeny of the ...

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 1172-1183, December 2025.Dung beetle attractiveness varies among dung from different herbivores despite similar diets. The diversity of herbivores within an enclosure has a limited effect on dung beetle's diversity. Trophic resource availability could impact dung beetle trophic preferences in the long term.

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 3, July–September 2025.In this study, we developed a seismological approach to wildlife surveying by recording ground vibrations produced by four large mammal species using a footfall trap prototype. After signal processing, we extracted 10,965 footfall events, which we used to train four convolutional neural network models.
