Disparities in avian genomic resources highlight gaps across the Global South

The paper evaluates avian genome assemblies across geography and taxonomy, revealing underrepresentation of species in the Global South.

Using phylogenetic relationships to assess conservation priorities for birds in India

This study uses the EDGE metric to identify conservation priorities for birds in India, finding high EDGE scores in northeastern regions and highlighting inadequate protection for top EDGE species.

Genome assemblies for seven families of birds from the Global South

The paper presents high-quality genome assemblies for seven bird species from the Western Ghats, improving contiguity and completeness compared to existing avian genomes.

Spatial patterns of diversity in forest birds of peninsular India

The paper analyzes spatial patterns of forest bird diversity in peninsular India, identifying hotspots and factors influencing diversity.

Songs show strong individual-level variation and weak population-level dialects in a tropical songbird with genetic structure

The paper examines cultural and genetic variation in a tropical songbird, finding strong individual song differences and weak population-level dialects, with cultural transmission decoupled from genetic structure.

High-quality genome assembly of the endemic threatened White-bellied Sholakili Sholicola albiventris (Muscicapidae: Blanford, 1868) from the Shola Sky Islands, India.

The paper presents the first high-quality genome assembly for the White-bellied Sholakili, using Nanopore and Illumina data, and reports its completeness and functional annotations.

State of India's Birds 2023: A framework to leverage semi-structured citizen science for bird conservation

This paper presents a methodology to assess bird species status in India using semi-structured citizen science data, finding declines in 204 species long-term and 142 species currently.
