A genus-level classification of the family Thraupidae (Class Aves: Order Passeriformes)

Zootaxa, 2016
The tanagers (Thraupidae) are a major component of the Neotropical avifauna, and vary in plumage colors, behaviors, morphologies, and ecologies. Globally, they represent nearly 4% of all avian species and are the largest family of songbirds. However, many currently used tanager genera are not monophyletic, based on analyses of molecular data that have ...

Rediscovery of Sporophila frontalis (Verreaux, 1869) (Aves, Thraupidae) in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil [PDF]

Check List, 2017
The Buffy-fronted Seedeater, Sporophila frontalis (Verreaux, 1869) (Aves, Thraupidae), is a threatened passerine endemic to the Atlantic Forest of southeastern South America. Habitat loss and illegal capture for the pet trade has reduced the geographical

Two overlooked generic synonyms in the Thraupidae (Aves: Passeriformes)

Zootaxa, 2019
In a revision of the generic classification of the tanagers, Burns et al. (2016) proposed the name Islerothraupis with type species Tanagra cristata Linnaeus, 1766 (long known as Tachyphonus cristatus); however, they overlooked a previous designation of that species as the type of a genus.

Host life-history traits predict haemosporidian parasite prevalence in tanagers (Aves: Thraupidae). [PDF]

Parasitology, 2023
AbstractVector-borne parasites are important ecological drivers influencing life-history evolution in birds by increasing host mortality or susceptibility to new diseases. Therefore, understanding why vulnerability to infection varies within a host clade is a crucial task for conservation biology and for understanding macroecological life-history ...

Emergence of Livestock-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST398 in Wild Birds, Brazil. [PDF]

Microbiologyopen
In a protected forest fragment in southern Brazil, 197 wild birds were sampled, with 12.2% carrying Staphylococcus aureus. Two MRSA ST398 strains, the first reported in Brazilian wild birds, were identified. Genomic analysis revealed resistance and virulence genes, linking these strains to pigs and underscoring the critical need for resistance ...

Speciation History Shapes Patterns of Assemblage Species Richness in Birds. [PDF]

Ecol Lett
Speciation is the ultimate source of biodiversity. However, because most species arise in spatial isolation, how speciation shapes patterns of co‐occurring species richness remains unclear. Here we examine how the legacy of speciation affects contemporary biodiversity patterns via a phylogenetic model and show that this build‐up is remarkably slow and ...

Origin and dynamics of a hybrid zone between Ramphocelus tanagers (Thraupidae) in Colombia

, 2010
Characterizations of hybrid zones are of importance in evolutionary biology because they can give insights about the characters and processes implied in population divergence. Here, we characterize a hybrid zone between tanagers in the genus Ramphocelus (

New avian hosts for Taphropiestes plaumanni (Coleoptera: Cavognathidae) and the record of nestlings skin lesions and body deterioration associated with parasitism [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022
We collected data during three consecutive breeding seasons (2015-2018) to assess the effects of Taphropiestes plaumanni (Coleoptera: Cavognathidae) on its bird hosts in a native forest of central eastern Argentina.
