New fossils help pinpoint when some birds started relying on a seed-based diet and reveal that disparate bill shapes evolved repeatedly throughout bird evolutionary history.
Riparian reserves help protect forest bird communities in oil palm dominated landscapes
Conversion of forest to oil palm agriculture is a significant and ongoing threat to tropical biodiversity. Despite this, little is known about the value of riparian reserves in oil palm and how these conservation set‐asides...
Simulation-based reconstruction of global bird migration over the past 50,000 years.

Mortality cost of sex-specific parasitism in wild bird populations
Jose O. Valdebenito, András Liker, Naerhulan Halimubieke, Jordi Figuerola, Tamas Szekely
Dec 02, 2020
Sex-specific mortality is frequent in animals although the causes of different male versus female mortalities remain poorly understood. Parasitism is ubiquitous in nature with widespread detrimental effects to hosts, making...

High voltage sulphate cathodes Li<sub>2</sub>M(SO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub> (M = Fe, Mn, Co)
The search for high voltage cathodes for lithium-ion batteries has led to recent interest in the monoclinic Li2Fe(SO4)2 material which has a voltage of 3.83 V vs. lithium, the highest recorded for a fluorine-free iron-based...
Gum arabic fractionation using synthetic membranes
The fractionation of 2 wt% gum arabic using 0.1, 0.5 and 0.8 μm polysulfone (PS) flat sheet membranes is investigated. Fluxes of between 35 and 80 L m−2 h−1 were achieved during diafiltration experiments at cross-flow velocities...

Critical flux of Gum Arabic
A flux-stepping method was used to determine the critical flux of 2 wt% gum arabic using flat sheet polysulfone membranes. These were found to be 27 L m-2 h-1 , 10 L m-2 h-1 and 22 L m-2 h-1 for 0.1, 0.5 and 0.8 μm polysulfone...
