Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary signal in the gut microbiomes of 74 bird species from Equatorial Guinea
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that both environment and evolution play a role in the gut microbiome and the relationship does not follow a neutral model; these biological results are qualitatively robust to analytical choices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of breeding plumages in birds: A multiple-step pathway to seasonal dichromatism in New World warblers (Aves: Parulidae).
TL;DR: Support is found for a two‐step process for the evolution of distinctive breeding and nonbreeding plumages: That prealternate molt evolves primarily under selection for feather renewal, with seasonal color change sometimes following later.
Journal ArticleDOI
Searching for consensus in molt terminology 11 years after Howell et al.'s “first basic problem”
TL;DR: Arguments against a terminological system of molt based on evolutionary relationships are revisited, an analytical framework to satisfactorily respond to critics, terminology is clarified, and how to study molt variation within an evolutionary framework is considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Notes On Bird Species In Bamboo In Northern Madre De Dios, Peru, Including The First Peruvian Record Of Acre Tody-Tyrant (Hemitriccus Cohnhafti)
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictors of past avian translocation outcomes inform feasibility of future efforts under climate change
TL;DR: Past conservation translocations are analyzed to help improve translocation outcomes and assess their feasibility as a climate adaptation tool, and identifying site features and management practices that maximize the likelihood of success are provided.
