Abstract:

How seasonal migration originated and impacted diversification in birds remains largely unknown. Although migratory behaviour is likely to affect bird diversification, previous studies have not detected any effect. Here, we infer ancestral migratory behaviour and the effect of seasonal migration on speciation and extinction dynamics using a complete bird tree of life. Our analyses infer that sedentary behaviour is ancestral, and that migratory behaviour evolved independently multiple times during the evolutionary history of birds. Speciation of a sedentary species into two sedentary daughter s

The past two decades have seen the emergence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) infections that are characterized as extremely contagious, with a high fatality rate in chickens, and humans; this has sparked considerable concerns for global health. Generally, the new variant of the HPAI virus crossed into various countries through wild bird migration, and persisted in the local environment through the interactions between wild and farmed birds. Nevertheless, no studies have found informative cases associated with connecting local persistence and long-range dispersal. During the 2016–20

Migratory birds are assumed to be under stronger sexual selection pressure than sedentary populations, and the fact that their song is more complex has been taken as confirmation of this fact. However, this assumes that sexual selection pressure due to both male competition and female choice increase together. A further issue is that, in many species, songs become less complex during competitive encounters; in contrast, female choice selects for more complex song, so the two selection pressures may drive song evolution in different directions.

Abstract:

Many animals undergo annual migrations. These movements are well studied at proximate levels, but their fundamental causes are poorly understood. Among tropical frugivorous birds, annual migration is thought to have evolved in the context of exploiting reciprocal peaks in fruit abundance among locations and seasons, yet previous tests of this hypothesis have yielded equivocal results. In this paper, I tested whether protein and (or) fruit limitation explain both uphill and downhill migratory movements in a tropical frugivorous bird, the White-ruffed Manakin ( Corapipo altera Hellmayer, 1906).

Abstract:

Abstract Passeriformes are a sensitive group of birds that play a role as indicators of biodiversity, pollution, and environmental change. The military operations taking place in the Sumy region are the main threat to the region’s biodiversity. Undoubtedly, the consequences of these threats can be reflected in a decrease in numbers, phenological changes, and changes in trophic interaction. However, due to their properties and ability to adapt, I assume that birds of the Passeriformes can respond to these environmental changes in different ways. Given the mosaic of different vegetation types an

Abstract:

The study was conducted in the period 1991-2018 in 86 different types of orchards from the central part of the Republic of Moldova, in all phenological periods. The bird fauna in the orchards is well represented, with a rich diversity of 95 species from 13 orders, which represents 35% of the avifauna of the republic. The dominant species were the passerine birds that are widespread and have high density in various arboreal biotopes. There were recorded 5 protected species: Ciconia ciconia, Circus pygargus, Milvus migrans, Falco vespertinus and Dendrocopos medius. In terms of phenology, the pre

Abstract:

Abstract Among songbirds, does reduced fidelity to a breeding site lead to vocal improvisation? Data for Cistothorus wrens suggest it does, because North American Sedge Wrens (C. platensis) have low breeding-site fidelity and improvise their large song repertoires, but sedentary or site-faithful populations of this and other Cistothorus species in the Neotropics and North America all imitate. We attempted to falsify this hypothesis by studying extreme south-temperate zone populations of Sedge Wrens in the Falkland Islands.

Abstract Our study was conducted between October 2021 and April 2022 at the Mekhada marsh, a wetland of international importance, located in northeastern Algeria. This site hosts large concentrations of waterbirds in winter, including waders. Through this investigation in the region, we proposed to characterise and analyse the population structure of this group of birds, which remains very poorly documented in Algeria. The results obtained indicate the presence of 16 species belonging to three families and nine genera. The maximum number of birds was counted in January 2022 (2417 individuals).

Abstract:

The duets of birds have intrigued biologists for a long time, yet much remains unknown about the evolution of these striking collective displays. This is partly because previous studies on duet evolution have been biased to songbirds and neglected other bird groups. In songbirds, the absence of migration has been found to predict the occurrence of duetting, indirectlysupporting the idea that duet communication is linked with pair bonding. Here, we used phylogenetic comparative analyses in a sedentary clade of non-songbirds, the barbets (Capitonidae), to reveal new correlates of duet evolution.

The studies fall on a period of strong warming close to the maximum, most likely a centuries-old climate cycle. It is shown that the dynamics of population density and species diversity of birds in the winter and summer seasons at this time are very different. The summer period is by wavelike (cyclical) changes

Abstract:

SummaryRecent studies have highlighted the threat that climate change poses to species, as areas of climatic suitability contract or shift across the landscape. North American Neotropical long-distant migrant bird species present a unique problem compared to sedentary species because climate change may differ significantly across their breeding and wintering grounds. Studying the potential future distributions of these birds is challenging on many levels, including the fact that our understanding of the wintering grounds of these species is quite poor.

We examined the occurrence of haemosporidians by amplifying their mtDNA cytb gene in 217 breeding birds, belonging to 32 species. The total prevalence of infected birds was 55.3%, and of th

The changes in the range of the European Serin (Serinus serinus) within Ukraine were identified by creating a four-layer GIS map in the DIVA-GIS software. The analysis revealed that European Serin continues to disperse in Europe, with a notable shift towards the south and east. The current southern border of the breedin

In 2021, the first two Great Black-backed Gull Larus marinus chicks were ringed in Gipuzkoa, the province in which this gull had successfully reproduced for the first time in 2020. This note describes the recorded movements of these individuals up to 2024. One of the specimens was only resighted once when still at the nest. The other has been sighted 22 times, most recently on 15/12/2024 (+1264 days after ringing). These

In April 2023, a Black-billed Magpie was discovered in Redding, Shasta County, California, in an area occupied by Yellow-billed Magpies. The Black-billed Magpie occurred regularly with a Yellow-billed Magpie at a bird-feeder, and subsequently two juvenile magpies with light pink and gray bills were seen together there.

This study investigates the effects of recurrent wildfires on the resilience of a typical Mediterranean ecosystem. It is based on uninterrupted monitoring over 42 years of the avifauna in a cork oak forest that burned three times during this time interval. The monitoring involved two line-transect counts in spring accompanied by the simultaneous and independent estimation of the vegetation cover profile. One of the two transects was initially designed to serve as an unburned control before it also burned during the second fire. Many forest bird species were already present from the first sprin

Abstract Space use, which includes the home range and habitat utilisation pattern of individuals for different activities (e.g. foraging, roosting), is one of the fundamental aspects of a species ecology. Hence, knowledge on the different aspects of space use in general is essential to understand the relationship between species and their habitat. Here, we investigated the home range size (using the minimum convex polygon method; MCP) and roosting site selection, using radiotelemetry, in a sedentary passerine species, the Eurasian Tree Sparrows (Passer montanus).
