Vocalisations of the New Zealand morepork (Ninox novaeseelandiae) on Ponui Island : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Zoology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Vocalisations provide an effective way to overcome the challenge of studying the behaviour of cryptic or nocturnal species. Knowledge of vocalisations can be applied to management strategies such as population census, monitoring, and territory mapping ...

"Catechima laburra", zubereraren ezaugarri fonologikoen lekukoa

open access: yesAnuario del Seminario de Filología Vasca "Julio de Urquijo", 2013
In this paper we propose a phonological analysis of the souletin writer Belapeire's Catechima laburra ("Short Catechism") (1696), which seems reliably to reflect many phonetic traits of his dialect, as shown by the comparison with other texts, mainly ...

Efficient Masked Autoencoder for Birdsong Representation with Applications on Wild Bird Species Classification

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Research on mosquito feeding preferences and the malaria parasites they transmit is essential for understanding the interactions between hosts, vectors, and parasites. In this study, vertebrate hosts were identified in 72 mosquitoes. Most blood meals (58.7%) came from birds, representing 25 species, while 40.0% came from mammals (13 species), and 1.3 ...

Flight calls and trills of Evening Grosbeaks can be used to map movements and ranges of call types 1 and 2

open access: yesFrontiers in Bird Science
Evening Grosbeak (Coccothraustes vespertinus) is a species of North American Fringillid finch thought to be one of the fastest declining songbirds across North America. It has been divided into five groups, potentially distinct lineages, based in part on

Genomic Content in Avian Haemosporidian Parasites Suggests Co‐Regulation of Apicoplast and Mitochondrial Nucleoids

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Apicoplast genomic content and mitochondrial genomic content were found to be strongly correlated (rho = 0.93) for infections going from low to high. Apicoplast and mitochondrial genomic content were deemed as more predictive factors of parasitemia for different infection intensities.

Nidificación del Chinchero Escamado (Lepidocolaptes falcinellus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We provide the first description of the nest of the Scalloped Woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes falcinellus), its clutch size, nestlings, and nesting behavior from prospecting to fledging, based on 102 h of observation at a nest in the subtropical Atlantic ...

Domination Versus Sisterhoods in the Blood Microbiota of Migrating Birds: Patterns of Within‐ and Between‐Individual Blood Parasite Diversity Revealed Through Metabarcoding

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Avian haemosporidian blood parasites are typically identified through Sanger sequencing of a partial cytochrome b fragment, the MalAvi barcoding region. Next‐generation sequencing is seldom used for avian blood parasite identification; this study demonstrates a higher detection rate of co‐infections via metabarcoding and its possible implications ...

Rhotics in general, but not trills in particular, are associated with roughness: Experimental evidence from Maltese

open access: yesGlossa Psycholinguistics
Recent work on sound symbolism has established a relation between roughness and the alveolar trill (e.g., Ćwiek et al., 2024). The available evidence is, however, ambiguous as to whether the phonetic properties of an alveolar trill or the phonological ...

Impact of Forest Fragmentation and Associated Edge Effects on Tropical Forest Biodiversity in North West Madagascar, Assessed via Ecoacoustics

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Deforestation in the tropics is a major threat to forest‐specialist animals, many of which are already threatened with extinction. We assessed how forest fragmentation and its associated edge‐effects impact animal biodiversity in Northwest Madagascar using soundscape analysis and acoustic indices.
