Here, we explore geographic variation in floodplain forest avifaunas, specifically regarding one of the most striking aspects of the Amazon: the diversity of river "colors" (i.e., types, based on the color of the water). We sampled the avifauna at 30 sites, located in 17 different ...
In this ecoregion, Ushuaia (54°48′S-68°19′W, 0 m–100 m elevation), Argentina is the political and administrative capital city of the province of Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and Islands of the South Atlantic. It is the southermost populated urban settlement in the world, with 56,90...

Estimated species richness was greater in pine forests with Carolina bays than without during the winter (31.7 ± 1.3 [mean ± SE] vs. 26.9 ± 1.2; P = 0.027), but not in the breeding season (27.9 ± 2.2 vs. 26.3 ± 2.2; P = 0.644). Total relative abundance did not differ between...
The Metropolitan Region of Greater São Luís (MRGSL) is located in northern Brazil, along the Amazon Coast, in the central part of the shore of Maranhão State. This region lacks a comprehensive checklist of bird species, which is essential to support conservation efforts. To present a lis...
The fossil skeletal record of birds from the Cenozoic of Switzerland is rather poor, despite the fact that avian tracks have been described from twenty tracksites. We review the Swiss fossil skeletal avifauna with emphasis put on new material discovered in the collection of the Natural History Mu...

In turn, it would be reasonable to hypothesise that seagrass would indirectly have an effect on the foraging behaviour of bird species that feed on those invertebrates. However, studies that test such an hypothesis are limited. The Wadden Sea, one of the largest tidal flats in the world, is...
These altered species’ distribution patterns could result in a widespread decline and eventual disappearance of species (Root et al., 2003; Peterson et al., 2002; Opdam and Wascher, 2004; Golicher et al., 2012). In fact, many of the world’s species that are listed as threatened are ...
