ENHYDROSS: A New Mechanistic Model Supports the Trans-Oceanic Dispersal Capability of Terrestrial Vertebrates. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe introduce ENHYDROSS, a new mechanistic model that uses optimal swimming speed and minimum cost of transport to estimate maximum dispersal distances and durations for vertebrates, enabling assessment of long‐distance oceanic dispersal potential. Applied to a range of extant and extinct animals, the model's estimates generally align with observed data;

Wildlife Pathogens and Zoonotic Disease Risk Assessment in Vietnam: A Wildlife Trade Hotspot. [PDF]
Transbound Emerg DisVietnam is a wildlife trade hotspot presenting multiple high‐risk interfaces for pathogen spillover from wildlife to humans. However, the zoonotic disease risk remains poorly characterized in the country and needs to be assessed to better inform policy dialog and legislative reforms.

Evolution of posture in amniotes–Diving into the trabecular architecture of the femoral head
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 36, Issue 8, Page 1150-1165, August 2023., 2023 We use 3D microanatomical parameters measured at the femoral head to study femoral posture in amniotes. We show that these parameters are not good indicators of femoral posture. Methods of ancestral state reconstruction hold great promise for improving our understanding of the evolution of posture in amniotes.

Global patterns and predictors of avian population density
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 7, Page 1189-1204, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim How population density varies across animal species in the context of environmental gradients, and associated migratory strategies, remains poorly understood. The recent influx of avian trait data and population density estimates allows these patterns to be described and explored in unprecedented detail.

Aspectos nutricionales y sociales del consumo de la carne de avestruz: el caso de España
Revista Española de Nutrición Humana y Dietética, 2013 El consumo de carne de avestruz se introdujo en Europa hace relativamente poco tiempo y aun hoy es considerada como una carne exótica. No obstante, se ha valorado repetidamente su inclusión entre las fuentes habituales de proteínas de origen animal en ...

Bird genetic databases need improved curation and error reporting to NCBI
Ibis, Volume 165, Issue 2, Page 472-481, April 2023., 2023 The ongoing biodiversity crisis is causing rapid species losses faster than taxonomists' capacity to describe new species. Integrative taxonomic approaches need robust taxonomic baseline data to correctly describe and conserve global species diversity, in which genetic data are one of the pillars.

Morphology of the extraocular muscles (m. bulbi) in the pre-hatchling and post-hatchling african black ostriches (struthio camelus domesticus L., 1758) (Aves: Struthioniformes) [PDF]
Acta Biologica Hungarica, 2018 The aim of the study was to describe the morphology and the development of the extraocular muscles (EOMs) in the pre-hatchling and post-hatchling African black ostrich. The study involved 50 birds aged between 28 days and 3 years. The EOMs were analyzed morphologically with respect to the location and length of the straight and oblique muscles and the ...

Morphological study of the upper, lower and third eyelids in the African black ostrich (Struthio camelus camelusL., 1758) (Aves: Struthioniformes) during the embryonic and postnatal period [PDF]
Italian Journal of Zoology, 2016 AbstractThe upper, lower and third eyelids are accessory organs of the eye. The aim of this study was to describe the development of the upper, lower and third eyelids in ostriches in the embryonic and postnatal period and to characterise the conjunctiva-associated lymphoid tissue (CALT) in the eyelids.
