Presenting my newest #ornithology game: Ratite Runner! 😀

Pick your favorite flightless bird, use the power-ups wisely and avoid the obstacles. Enjoy!
This is all I could find so far:
Maybe our dear friends from UK can help?

I believe good UK libraries should have both journals. Thanks in advance!
Very interesting use of BirdNET. I believe such tools will be increasingly useful for taxonomy from now on. Nonetheless, to be fair, I must say Bret Whitney was the first to point out the distinct song of the new C. raucisona, almost 20 years ago! 🙂
Dear fellows from the outer worlds…
Anyone with access to the following works that could provide a copy/scan/pics?
Boles W. 1990 Glowing parrots—need for a study of hidden colours. Birds Int., 3, 76–79.
Boles W. 1991 Black light signature for birds. Aust. Nat. Hist., 23, 752.
Deeply grateful!
Te entendo. Por outro lado… nós ganhamos uma medalha olímpica num esporte na neve, né? 🤷♂️😁
Deu aquela dedadazinha marota por trás! “Toquezinho inocente”, achou que ninguém se importaria!

Blackish-grey Antshrike (Thamnophilus nigrocinereus) a specialist negatively impacted by acai densification (Alex Lees)
açaí palm (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) density is being rapidly increased by removing other tree species (Alex Lees)
berries of the açaí palm (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) in situ (Alex Lees)
Our new paper led by Madson Freitas shows that global demand for Açaí, a dietary staple for Amazonian people, now marketed as a superfood, is driving widespread estuarine forest degradation leading to impoverishment of their bird communities

Do you still hold copyright of some sort? It would be great to either translate it to Portuguese or adapt it to Brazilian species.
Op, por que o nome tá aparecendo (erroneamente) sem hífen?

🚨Paper alert🚨
We studied the permanent chewing louse genus Myrsidea to revisit the long-debated evolutionary and biogeographic history of Sapayoa aenigma, finding signals consistent with an extra-Neotropical origin of the parasite lineage.

📢 NEW SPECIAL ISSUE OUT!
Excited to share a special issue I co-edited on bird–window collisions, a major yet overlooked source of bird mortality
Bringing together 8 papers, this issue advances methods, evidence, and solutions to inform bird-friendly(er) built environments
OA: tinyurl.com/yss5mvf2
This may interest folks who work with bird roadkills.
The many years working with museum specimens helped hugely in identifying some spp. based on (sometimes) scarce visible traits.

Thanks to my coauthor’s, especially Tainá Dorado-Rodrigues for leading such a nice effort
2025 hasn’t closed yet: happy to share a “last-minute”paper I had the pleasured to help. It was a challenge to ID some bird “pancakes” 😕, but it is a good detective work based on details of bird plumage + anatomy. Overall, a sad picture of roadkills.

I guess we have done something really wrong here. The oracle said we should expect shorter and shorter days from now on. 😐
I’ll search the old wtitings how to reverse that. It may take half a year, though. 🙂

“Congresso vota por menos água, mais incêndios, mais poluição, comida mais cara e mais desastres ambientais ao derrubar vetos.”
Deveria ser a chamada.
Na verdade os arapaçus são parentes do joão-de-barro, não dos picapaus! Apenas se locomovem de maneira similar. 🙂
... as of yesterday 1000000+ recordings in XC. Incredible. Thanks for sharing everyone!! #bioacoustics
Obrigado pelo retorno detalhado. Concordo com tudo
Aline, uma pergunta sincera: pensando no material não-tipo, que é centenas de vezes mais volumoso, vc acha que seria mais vantajoso pra paleonto brasileira ter todos eles de volta ou, alternativamente, ter fósseis dos países em que eles se encontram enviados pra cá como intercâmbio de compensação?
Um texto incrível do @marcosaur3.bsky.social para a Ciência Hoje!
