Diversity of Chewing Lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) in the Indo‐Burma Biodiversity Hotspot

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The diversity of birds is well documented globally. However, the same attention has generally not been given to their parasites, which comprise many times their diversity. Here, we present data from a large‐scale survey of chewing lice found infesting birds in the Indo‐Burma biodiversity hotspot of western Yunnan, China.

Have Asian koels evolved egg mimicry with any of their hosts?

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.
The Asian koel Eudynamys scolopaceus is a generalist brood parasite that exploits a diverse array of host species across Asia. A previous study using avian visual modeling found no evidence that koels had evolved eggs that mimic the eggs of one of their oldest known hosts, the house crow Corvus splendens, or that they had host‐specific egg types when ...

Human–Bird Interactions Across Time and Space in a Bronze Age City: The Case of Tell Atchana, Alalakh (Amuq Valley, Turkey)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 597-611, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Birds have played both subsistence and symbolic roles in past human societies, with their significance evolving alongside sedentary lifestyles and agriculture. Although Neolithic settlements in Western Asia primarily relied on domesticated mammals, birds remained a marginal resource, their importance varying by region.

Comparative Genomics Insights Into the Evolutionary Disparities Between Nitroplast‐Evolved Ecotype UCYN‐A2 and Its Closest Relative UCYN‐A1

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
This paper conducted comparative genomic analyses among seven UCYN‐A strains in genome content, gene structure, and key metabolic protein genes. In general, our results demonstrated considerable disparities between UCYN‐A1 and UCYN‐A2, providing insights into the evolution of UCYN‐A and nitroplast.
