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

The paper shows that greater intraspecific morphological variation in bulbuls predicts broader ecological niches and larger geographic ranges.

This study analyzes the vocal behavior and breeding phenology of Nilgiri Flycatchers using automated recording and detection, finding seasonal singing peaks and diurnal patterns.

The paper examines seasonal elevational shifts in Western Ghat birds, finding 77% of species shift elevations, with thermal regime shaping strategies like niche tracking or switching.

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.

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

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

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.

This study analyzes song syntax and sharing in a tropical songbird, finding high syntactic variability and social influences on song consistency and sharing.

The paper models habitat connectivity changes for range-restricted birds in response to woodland invasion, finding increased connectivity for forest specialists and reduced connectivity for grassland specialists.

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.

The paper examines how host niche breadth influences parasite prevalence in disturbed vs. natural habitats, finding generalist parasites infect generalist hosts more frequently.

The paper examines how invasive species and habitat transformation affect avian distributions in biphasic montane habitats, finding shifts in specialist and generalist species responses across different invasion stages.

The paper evaluates playback-aided surveys and acoustic monitoring to detect the Forest Owlet in the Dang region, finding increased detections with new techniques but uncertainty about population trends.

The paper examines patterns of secondary invasion in the understory of exotic invasive tree stands in the Western Ghats Shola Sky Islands, finding strong associations between Eucalyptus and Lantana camara invasions, and environmental factors influencing these patterns.
