We tested 3 main hypotheses across three tissues in European starlings fed diets with more or less antioxidants (anthocyanins) and long-chain omega-6 polyunsaturated fats (18:2n6) while being flight-trained in a wind tunnel. <i>Stimulatory effect of flight</i>: flight-training stimulated the antioxidant system in that 1) plasma oxidative damage (dROMs) was reduced during a given acute flight, and contrary to our predictions, 2) antioxidant capacity (OXY or ORAC) and oxidative damage in plasma (dROMs), flight-muscle, and liver (LPO) of flight-trained birds were similar to that of untrained birds (i.e. not flown in a wind tunnel). Flight-trained birds that expended more energy per unit time (kJ min<sup>−1</sup>) during their longest, final flight decreased antioxidant capacity (OXY) the most during the final flight. <i>Dietary fat quality effect:</i> contrary to our predictions, dietary 18:2n-6 did not influence oxidative status even after flight training. <i>Dietary antioxidant effect</i>: flight-trained birds supplemented with dietary anthocyanins did not have higher antioxidant capacity in plasma (OXY), or liver and flight-muscle (ORAC) compared to untrained birds. Counterintuitively, oxidative damage (dROMs) was higher in flight-trained supplemented birds compared to unsupplemented birds after an acute flight. In sum, the antioxidant system of songbirds flexibly responded to changes in availability of dietary antioxidants as well as increased flight time and effort, and such condition-dependent, individual-level, tissue-specific responses to the oxidative costs of long-duration flights apparently requires recovery periods for maintaining oxidative balance during migration.</p>","PeriodicalId":15278,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Avian Biology","volume":"2025 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jav.03379","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143787179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Partially migratory populations provide an ideal framework for its study in the wild, since resident and migratory individuals coexist temporarily in the same area and face similar selection pressures. We focused on two Iberian populations of Eurasian hoopoe <i>Upupa epops</i>, a trans-Saharan long-distance migrant, to explore the links between the immune system and migratory behaviour. We determined the migratory status of individual hoopoes using stable isotope analysis of deuterium (<sup>2</sup>H) and measured a number of immunological parameters, including estimates of innate and adaptive immunity, as well as body condition, and muscle and fat stores. Our results indicate that resident hoopoes had higher IgY levels and higher muscle and fat stores compared to migrants during the breeding season. Moreover, we found seasonal variation in leukocyte profiles of resident birds, with higher heterophil/lymphocyte (H/L) ratios in winter than during the breeding season. We observed significantly higher H/L ratios and complement activity in resident males than in resident females, but not within migratory birds. Overall, we show differences in immune response linked to migratory behaviour in partial migratory populations.

The physiological and behavioural adaptations required to survive such journeys may be facilitated by the gut microbiome, a diverse community of symbiotic microbes that produce rare nutrients, fatty acids, and immune compounds that can confer rapid physiological adaptations to changing environmental conditions. However, the causal role of the gut microbiome in regulating migration physiology remains a mystery. In this review, we synthesize current knowledge of gut microbiome composition and function during migration, outline possible mechanisms by which changes in the gut microbiome could benefit migrants, and identify future research priorities. We find that active migration is usually associated with reduced diversity of the gut microbiome and with the expansion of several study-specific taxa. Additionally, some microbial traits have been found to correlate with host condition and fat deposits during migration. However, there remains little understanding of how changes in the gut microbiome during migration relate to most physiological parameters, the molecular mechanisms linking the gut microbiome to host physiology during migration, or the underlying ecological, dietary, and intrinsic drivers of gut microbiome changes across the migratory cycle. Our review draws from examples across non-migratory systems to explore how gut microbiomes could adaptively regulate physiological traits relevant to migration. We highlight the need for studies that connect gut and circulating metabolites and for experimental studies that test the underlying drivers of gut microbial and metabolite dynamics in controlled settings. Given its diverse physiological demands and ubiquity, bird migration presents an excellent model system to investigate the adaptive potential of the gut microbiome in natural populations.</p>","PeriodicalId":15278,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Avian Biology","volume":"2025 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jav.03406","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143741162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the connections between interspecific territorial aggression and other related aspects such as hybridization and climate remain unexplored. We investigated territorial aggression in two Neotropical wren species, <i>Campylorhynchus zonatus brevirostris</i> and <i>C. fasciatus pallescens</i>, along a precipitation gradient in western Ecuador using playback experiments. <i>Campylorhynchus f. pallescens</i> exhibits geographic variation: northern populations (<i>C. f. pallescens</i> north) are hybrids of <i>C. z. brevirostris</i> and <i>C. f. fasciatus</i>, while southern populations (<i>C. f. pallescens</i> south) show primary genetic admixture with <i>C. f. fasciatus</i> (from northeastern Peru). We pursued three objectives: 1) to compare intra- and inter-territorial aggression of <i>C. z. brevirostris</i> and the admixed <i>C. f. pallescens</i> north and south; 2) to assess territorial aggression across these three genetic clusters; and 3) to examine direct and indirect (via primary productivity) associations between climate and territorial aggression. We simulated territory intrusion using playback experiments and quantified aggressive responses using principal component analysis (PCA) to integrate three behavioral measurements: minimum approach distance to the stimulus, latency to reach this distance, and the number of aggressive displays (fixed action patterns). Admixed <i>C. f. pallescens</i> north displayed no significant differences in aggression across treatments, supporting the established trend of high interspecific territoriality in hybrids. <i>Campylorhynchus f. pallescens</i> south was the only genetic cluster that showed significant differences among treatments, exhibiting more pronounced aggressive responses to intraspecific stimuli and higher aggression than <i>C. z. brevirostris</i> and <i>C. f. pallescens</i> north. This pattern of dominance in territorial aggression contrasts with the previously reported direction of genetic introgression from <i>C. z. brevirostris</i> towards <i>C. f. pallescens</i>.

Although there has been considerable research, the differences in methods and results have led to varying conclusions about how well it works as an antimicrobial. Despite extensive research, the differences in experimental methods and results have led to varying conclusions regarding its antimicrobial effectiveness. This review consolidates existing literature on the antimicrobial activity of uropygial secretion or related compounds against bacteria and fungi across different bird species. A comprehensive search identified 35 studies, showcasing a variety of techniques used to assess antimicrobial activity, including agar diffusion, colony-forming unit (CFU) counting, and flow cytometry. The findings reveal a diverse range of antimicrobial effects influenced by bird species, target microorganisms, and the methodologies employed. Notably, uropygial secretion appears to be more effective against gram-positive bacteria than gram-negative bacteria and fungi, although these latter groups have been less extensively studied. The review also underscores significant limitations in taxonomic representation, as research has primarily focused on a limited number of bird species while many others remain underrepresented. Additionally, gaps in standardization and the predominance of in vitro studies hinder our ability to draw comprehensive conclusions about the antimicrobial potential of the uropygial secretions under natural conditions. Future research should prioritize standardizing methodologies, broadening the taxonomic scope, and investigating the combined effects of individual compounds within the secretion, including symbiotic microorganisms. Addressing these gaps will enhance our understanding of the evolutionary and ecological significance of uropygial secretion and clarify its role in avian health and defense mechanisms.</p>","PeriodicalId":15278,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Avian Biology","volume":"2025 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jav.03425","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143689732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Duck (Anatinae) nests are often parasitized by eggs of other ducks, and one way that hosts can respond to potentially costly brood parasitism is to move parasitic eggs to the clutch periphery, where egg incubation temperatures can be suboptimal relative to the clutch centre. We explored whether red-breasted mergansers <i>Mergus serrator</i> use discriminatory egg incubation against parasitic eggs laid by conspecifics in a population where conspecific brood parasitism (CBP) is common. We used isoelectric focusing electrophoresis of egg albumen from entire clutches of 12 parasitized nests to identify parasitic eggs. A randomization test pooling identified parasitic eggs (n = 50) across nests revealed that hosts did not position parasitic eggs along the periphery of clutches or out of the central region more than was expected by chance, and this was the case for parasitic eggs laid both before and after the onset of incubation. Similarly, nest-level analyses showed that parasitic eggs were random in all but the smallest clutch, which contained one identified parasitic egg. Thus, parasitic eggs were not moved to the periphery of heavily parasitized clutches, where egg temperature gradients between central and peripheral regions of nests are expected to be greatest. Only four eggs (&lt; 0.5% of 1276 eggs) were found buried within nest bowls. Eggs that were removed from nests consisted of parasite and host eggs and were more likely along the periphery of clutches prior to their removal than was expected by chance. Our results indicate that discriminatory egg incubation of parasitic eggs is not a well-developed tactic for defending against CBP in red-breasted mergansers, though hosts may rely on certain cues to decide which eggs are to be removed from nests (e.g. addled eggs).</p>","PeriodicalId":15278,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Avian Biology","volume":"2025 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jav.03399","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143646281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We hypothesized that simulated migratory flight would result in dysfunction of flight muscle mitochondria, and selective catabolism of lean tissues. We predicted that simulated migratory flight would cause reduced mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation capacity while increasing emission of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and that lean tissue mass catabolism would preferentially occur in digestive organs not needed in flight. We measured mitochondrial function, muscle morphology and the wet masses of organs and muscles following 8-hour wind tunnel flights in blackpoll warblers <i>Setophaga striata</i>, which use multi-day nonstop flights as part of their migration strategy. In contrast to our predictions, we found that simulated migratory flight did not alter mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation capacity or ROS emission. However, flight and fasting increased whole-animal lean mass catabolism and were associated with reductions in the masses of liver, gizzard and proventriculus, but masses of tissues in the flight apparatus (pectoralis, heart, lungs) were unaffected.

As physiological measure, we used the heterophil to lymphocyte (H/L) ratio of individuals belonging to different species in the forest bird community, which was assessed using a novel deep learning approach based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) applied to whole blood smear scans. Using phylogenetically controlled Bayesian analyses across the bird species, we found higher H/L ratios in adult birds than in juveniles and observed slightly higher H/L ratios in females than in males. While body condition had no effect on the H/L ratio, incubating birds tended to have higher H/L ratios than non-reproductive birds, regardless of their sex.
