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 ...

DNA metabarcoding reveals greater plant diversity than morphological seed analysis of bird feces

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 1, January-February 2026.
Abstract Premise Fruit‐eating birds drive seed dispersal in recovering tropical ecosystems, shaping forest regeneration. Molecular techniques, such as DNA metabarcoding, enable diet analysis from feces and can provide complementary frugivory data where dispersal is infrequent, as well as aid in seed identification in hyper‐diverse regions lacking ...

Movement Strategies of Neotropical Nectarivorous Birds: Insights From High‐Andean Hummingbirds and Flowerpiercers

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Nectar is a highly variable, mostly unpredictable resource in tropical mountains. How do nectarivorous birds such as this male Great Sapphirewing cope? Fine‐scaled tracking of hummingbirds and flowerpiercers shows flexibility in daily movement strategies in the high Andes, possibly in response to fluctuating local conditions such as weather and ...

Ecological Niche Differences Underlie the Assembly of Endemic Birds in Acrobiont Forests of Northern Mesoamerica

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The study of the structure of species assemblages has typically assumed that similar environments share common species; however, interacting biogeographic and phylogenetic processes are equally important. The understanding that ecological processes operate at different spatial scales to shape species assemblages led to the concept of ...

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.
