Diversification and species limits in scale-backed antbirds (Willisornis: Thamnophilidae), an Amazonian endemic lineage

Tania Fontes Quaresma et al.

Summary: This article presents a phylogenetic and population genetic analysis of the Willisornis genus, endemic to the Amazon Basin. The study reveals 13 independent genetic lineages and confirms the monophyly of all recognized species. The diversification of Willisornis is linked to hydrographic and climate change cycles in the Amazon Basin.

Multi-character taxonomic review, systematics, and biogeography of the Black-capped/Tawny-bellied Screech Owl (Megascops atricapilla-M. watsonii) complex (Aves: Strigidae)

Sidnei M. Dantas et al.

Summary: This study focused on the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomic status of two species in the North American owl genus Megascops, M. watsonii and M. atricapilla. By utilizing molecular, morphological, and vocal data, the research revealed the existence of additional species within these groups, with relationships among them differing from traditional classifications.

Avian extinctions induced by the oldest Amazonian hydropower mega dam: evidence from museum collections and sighting data spanning 172 years

Luiza Magalli Pinto Henriques et al.

Summary: Hydroelectric dams pose a threat to lowland tropical forest biodiversity, with the study showing evidence of avian extinctions caused by the Tucurui Hydroelectric Reservoir. Habitat specialization plays a significant role in determining species extinctions, as seen in the case of the THR influence area. Extinction probabilities were estimated for multiple species, highlighting the ongoing loss and degradation of avian habitats in the reservoir-affected region.
