Eye morphology contributes to the ecology and evolution of the aquatic avifauna

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 93, Issue 9, Page 1262-1274, September 2024.
Aquatic birds are notable among the global avifauna for living in environments exposed to large amounts of light. Here, I show that eye size strongly predicts key aspects of aquatic bird ecology, including foraging behaviour, diet, height of aerial plunge dives, and depths of underwater pursuit dives. Abstract Aquatic birds are notable among the global

ABSTRACT Avian gut microbial communities are complex and play a fundamental role in regulating biological functions within an individual. Although it is well established that diet can influence the structure and composition of the gut microbiota, foraging behaviour may also play a critical, yet unexplored role in shaping the composition, dynamics, and ...
