Overwintering and Resident Birds in Qatar: Explorations With DNA Barcoding

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
We obtained DNA barcodes for 115 birds (34 species, 12 orders) in Qatar, a country with no previous barcode sequence data for wild birds. We provide insights on locally breeding species and overwintering migrants. ABSTRACT Genetic research is unevenly distributed across the globe, with most research done in temperate zones.

Trends in Richness and Occupancy of Ugandan Birds and Relation to Local Tree Cover

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Changes in vegetation cover are occurring across sub‐Saharan Africa and can have substantial effects on ecological communities, but limited data make understanding status and trends difficult for many taxa. We surveyed birds for several decades across Uganda using point counts.

Hard to Swallow: Scaling Relationships Between the Size of Avian Prey and the Overall Size and Maximal Gape of Brown Treesnakes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
The anatomy of snakes and other gape‐limited predators imposes an upper limit on the size of prey that are swallowed whole, and maximal gape was a good predictor of the maximal size of prey eaten by the invasive brown treesnakes in our study. However, gape had modest predictive value for the size of prey that snakes attempted to eat as some attempts ...

Avian seed dispersal out of the forests: A view through the lens of Pleistocene landscapes

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 3, Page 510-517, March 2025.
Many European woody species are light‐demanding and fail to regenerate in the shaded interiors of temperate forests. Most of these species are dispersed by frugivorous and seed‐caching birds. The spatial patterns of avian seed dispersal in fragmented anthropogenic landscapes are congruent with an ecological and evolutionary history with open and semi ...

Case 3474AplonisGould, 1836 (Aves: sturnidae): proposed conservation of spelling

open access: yesThe Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature, 2009
The purpose of this application, under Articles 23.9.3 and 81.1 of the Code, is to conserve the long- and widely-accepted spelling Aplonis Gould, 18 October 1836 for the Indo-Australasian glossy starlings (sturnidae) by suppression of the prior but little used spelling Aplornis Gould, 1 or 3 October 1836.
