Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 8, August 2025.The avian quadrate plays a critical role in cranial kinesis, but few comparative studies exist of its morphological variation across higher‐level taxa. In this study, the occurrence of a markedly concave articular facet of the condylus medialis is surveyed across neornithine birds.

Increased Mortality Rates Caused by Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus in a Migratory Raptor
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.We utilized movement data to identify a continental‐scale mortality event caused by highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) in a single species of migratory bird, the rough‐legged hawk (Buteo lagopus). We estimated an HPAIV cause‐specific annual mortality rate of 28% that substantially elevated the overall annual mortality rate (47%) above ...

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

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 1061-1070, April 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding the mechanisms that increase a species resilience to climate change is central to predicting how they are likely to respond. One determinant of vulnerability to climate change identified in multiple taxa is the thermal range of a species' distribution.

Environmental Variability Shapes Life History of the World's Birds
Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 2, February 2025.Theory suggests life history plays a key role in the ability of organisms to persist under fluctuating environmental conditions. Synthesising a collection of global data resources, we demonstrate a link between environmental variability and species' pace of life. Additionally, we highlight the importance of contextualising rates of environmental change
