This study tracks the spread and evolution of H5N1 in the sub-Antarctic and Antarctica, revealing long-distance dispersal and mammalian-adaptive mutations.

Whole-genome sequencing and geolocation tracking indicate that high pathogenicity avian influenza H5N1 reached Tristan skuas on remote Gough Island via sub-Antarctic marine networks linked to South Georgia rather than Africa.

This study detects H5N1 HPAIV in Antarctic and sub-Antarctic regions, identifies affected species, and traces the virus's origin and potential spread.

This paper develops and validates PCR-based protocols for sexing Darwin's finches across life stages, showing improved accuracy over visual assessment.
