This paper uses large language models to extract species interaction data from citizen science comments, expanding ecological data coverage and enabling new ecological research.

The paper introduces an R package, clootl, that provides a complete, versioned avian phylogeny and tools for extracting and manipulating phylogenetic trees.

The paper introduces the BirdsPlus Index (BPI), a method that uses acoustic data and conservation scores to assess site-level conservation values, showing consistency across models and alignment with ecological drivers.

The paper integrates species conservation status, vulnerability factors, and ecological uniqueness to create a scoring system for assessing bird biodiversity at the site level.

This paper unites phylogenetic estimates from 262 studies to create a complete, time-scaled bird evolutionary tree, enabling large-scale analyses linking phylogeny with geographic data.

This study shows that climate, habitat, and geographic overlap drive plumage evolution in birds, with interspecific mimicry playing a significant role in convergence.
