The Grey Falcon (Falco hypoleucos) is a desert-living species restricted to the dry centre of Australia. These falcons have a number of unique life-history adaptations that may be crucial for their survival in this harsh environment, but these m[...]

Australia’s endemic Grey Falcon is an iconic but elusive bird of the arid interior. Whilst reviews of its ecology and status are more than 25 years old, new targeted studies include a population size estimate that is considerably lower (

Bird plumage hosts a diverse microbial community, including microbes capable of degrading the β-keratin in feathers (i.e. feather-degrading bacteria). The prevalence and effects of feather-degrading bacteria have primarily been studied in the No[...]

Southeast Asian forest birds are threatened by the highest rate of tropical deforestation globally, but conservation efforts regionally have very limited information from which to make policy and management plans. To provide baseline data on nes[...]

Phylogeographic studies of northern Australian birds frequently detect the influence of the Carpentarian Barrier in vicariantly structuring present-day genetic variation. Several barriers further west (e.g. Canning Barrier), and, where data are [...]

One of the major questions in ecology is how species share their ecological space and what enables them to coexist. Partitioning of foraging niches should facilitate local coexistence. Thus, detailed data on foraging ecology are needed to provid[...]

African penguins (Spheniscus demersus) are pursuit-diving seabirds endemic to the coast of southern Africa. In this study, we investigate the presence of seashells and anthropogenic debris (e.g. plastic, glass, nylon) in the stomach contents of [...]

Outbreaks of disease in threatened species can increase the likelihood of extinction by reducing population size. Low immunogenetic diversity can increase susceptibility to, and severity of, disease outbreaks. Our study measured genetic diversit[...]

Future land-use change could supplement populations of opportunistic predatory birds, such as corvids, resulting in amplified predation pressure and negative effects on populations of other avian species. We investigated whether Forest Ravens (C[...]

The critically endangered and iconic plains-wanderer (Pedionomus torquatus) is phylogenetically distinct and endemic to south eastern Australia, and is a high conservation priority. Furthermore, it relies on critically-endangered native grasslan[...]
