An annotated checklist of birds of Paraje Tres Cerros, Corrientes province, Argentina
(Pensoft Publishers, 2021-03)
We provide an updated checklist of birds of a unique landscape in northeastern Argentina, which is characterized by three isolated, rocky outcrops and their surrounding agroecosystem. We recorded 188 bird species, including ...
Avian eggshell as a template for biomimetic synthesis of new materials
(2007)
Living organisms have evolved a vast diversity of mineralized structures through mechanisms that often are significantly different from those used by the materials engineer. These biomaterials often exhibit a fine‐scale ...
Bone damage patterns found in the avian prey remains of crested caracara Caracara plancus (Aves, Falconiformes)
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011-12)
The following paper presents the results of the analysis of the avian prey bones found in uneaten remains of crested caracara (Caracara plancus, Aves, Falconiformes) from La Pampa province, Argentina. Anatomical parts ...
First bird footprints from the lower Miocene Lerín Formation, Ebro Basin, Spain
(Coquina Press, 2016-02)
A new tracksite with bird footprints, found in the Bardenas Reales de Navarra Natural Park (Navarre, Spain), is presented in this study. The footprints are preserved in four sandstone blocks of the Lerín Formation from the ...
Invasion of Ligustrum lucidum (Oleaceae) in the southern Yungas: Changes in habitat properties and decline in bird diversity
(Elsevier, 2014-01)
Ligustrum lucidum is the major exotic tree in NW Argentina montane forests (Yungas). To assess the effects of its expanding invasion on avian communities we (1) measured different habitat properties (vertical forest structure ...
Seed-dispersal interactions in fragmented landscapes - a metanetwork approach
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018-04-01)
Mutualistic interactions repeatedly preserved across fragmented landscapes can scale-up to form a spatial metanetwork describing the distribution of interactions across patches. We explored the structure of a bird ...
Host diversity outperforms climate as a global driver of symbiont diversity in the bird-feather mite system
(2021-03-01)
Aim: The simultaneous influence of abiotic and biotic factors as main drivers of global species distributions remains poorly understood, especially in host-dependent groups. In this study, we diverge from traditional ...
Cross-taxon congruence and environmental conditions
(2010)
Diversity patterns of different taxa typically covary in space, a phenomenon called cross-taxon congruence. This pattern has been explained by the effect of one taxon diversity on taxon diversity, shared biogeographic ...
Avian diversity and behavior in an Eocene coastal plain, Svalbard: the ichnological evidence
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-07)
This study presents an ichnotaxonomical assessment of bird footprints from a coastal plain setting in the Eocene lower to middle Aspelintoppen Formation in Brongniartfjellet and Storvola, Svalbard. These footprints are ...
