This study presents de novo genome assemblies for four Asian hornbill species and estimates their Pleistocene population declines due to climate fluctuations.

The paper compares genetic diversity between two hornbill species, finding the island-endemic Narcondam Hornbill has significantly lower genetic diversity than the Wreathed Hornbill.

This study identifies knowledge gaps and conservation challenges in the Konkan region of Maharashtra through literature review and focus group discussions, highlighting threats like land-use change and climate change impacts.
