Overwintering and Resident Birds in Qatar: Explorations With DNA Barcoding
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
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.

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
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
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.
