Abstract:

The type locality of Pterocles exustus Temminck, 1825, is 'West coast of Africa, Egypt and Nubia'. This is problematic because it includes the type locality of Pterocles exustus floweri (Nicoll, 1921), which is Fayum, Egypt. In the interest of clarification and to preserve stability of nomenclature, a non-Egyptian specimen from the type series of P. exustus is designated as lectotype of the taxon, and the type locality is restricted to Senegal.

Abstract:

AbstractThe Lichtenstein’s Sandgrouse (Pterocles lichtensteinii) is a nomadic, mostly nocturnal species. Its world range includes several countries in Africa, as far south as Kenya, and Asia as far east as Pakistan, but within the Middle East, it is a resident in Egypt, Southern Israel and Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman and Southern Iran. Like other members of its family, it is found in very dry habitats including wadis and stony deserts. Seeing a flock of them in Lebanon is extraordinary. They were sighted for the first time in the country. The dry hot wind in that time of the year might h

Abstract:

Sandgrouse (Pteroclidae; Pterocliformes) are specialized ground birds of open arid landscapes with a very poorly studied evolutionary history. In the late Pliocene – early Pleistocene, Pteroclidae are known only from few localities in Southern Europe. The article describes a relatively large fossil sandgrouse from the early Pleistocene of the Taurida cave in the Crimea – this is the first finding of Pteroclidae in the ancient faunas of the Black Sea region and Eastern Europe. The unusual structure of the tibiotarsus makes it possible to describe the fossil form from Taurida Cave as a new speci

SUMMARYKnowledge of the factors determining species distributions is essential for developing conservation strategies. Sandgrouse Pterocles alchata and P. orientalis are threatened in Spain, the stronghold of European populations. Spatial modelling was used to: (1) assess the relative importance of abiotic, anthropogenic and geographical factors in the distribution of both sandgrouse species, (2) determine the most important anthropogenic predictors for each species occurrence, and (3) identify areas where conservation efforts should be prioritized.

Abstract:

Summary Many European farmland bird populations are rapidly declining because of agricultural intensification and land-use changes. Robust estimates of population sizes and trends, habitat use, and protected area coverage within the distribution range are crucial to inform the conservation and management of threatened species. Here we report on the results of the 2019 Black-bellied Sandgrouse Pterocles orientalis (BBS) survey promoted and coordinated by SEO/BirdLife to update its breeding distribution, population size, and trends in continental Spain. A total of 660 grid cells, 10 × 10 km, Uni

Abstract:

Based on the species‐rich avifaunas from Early Neolithic sites across Upper Mesopotamia (southeast Türkiye, northern Syria, northern Iraq), we compared seven species' Early Holocene distribution patterns with that of their modern species ranges. The avifaunal remains from four sites were analysed by the authors and bird identifications from 10 additional sites were extracted from published reports. In the case of the Common Crane Grus grus, Grey Partridge Perdix perdix and Black Francolin Francolinus francolinus, shifts in distributions relate to significant changes in climate marking the tran

Abstract:

Abstract Abundance is essential to monitor population trends, assess viability, and determine the conservation status of species. Genetic mark-recapture (GMR) has become a popular non-invasive tool for abundance estimation, overcoming the challenges posed by the low densities and sometimes elusive behaviour presented by threatened species. Steppe birds are one of the most threatened bird guilds in Europe, but their populations remain understudied. Although GMR is widespread in mammals, few studies use GMR to estimate abundance of bird populations, which are usually monitored via direct observa

Abstract:

Background: BRCA2 genes are not only found in humans, but in other animal species. BRCA2 gene plays a vital role in maintaining the stability of a cell's genetic information. BRCA2 is considered as a gatekeeper gene; however, if mutated or abnormally expressed, it causes the destruction of normal cell structure and promotes the growth of cancer cells. Objective: This study aimed to assess the differences and similarities of BRCA2 gene from different animal species in Africa through In silico genomics analysis providing further insight on its comparative genomics features.
