Genomic Insights into the Successful Invasion of the Avian Vampire Fly ( <i>Philornis downsi</i> ) in the Galápagos Islands Open
Invasive species pose significant threats to island ecosystems, often leading to the decline of native species and the disruption of ecological balance. The avian vampire fly (Philornis downsi), introduced to the Galápagos Islands of Ecuad…

Status, distribution, and population trends of Galápagos Rail <i>Laterallus spilonota</i> and Paint-billed Crake <i>Neocrex erythrops</i> on the Galápagos Islands Open
Summary We review the conservation status of two small rail species breeding in the Galápagos Islands: the endemic Galápagos Rail Laterallus spilonota and the native Paint-billed Crake Neocrex erythrops , widely distributed on the South Am…

Genome Assembly of <i>Pyrocephalus nanus</i>: A Step Toward the Genetic Conservation of the Endangered Little Vermilion Flycatcher of the Galapagos Islands Open
Incredibly powerful whole genome studies of conservation genetics, evolution, and biogeography become possible for non-model organisms when reference genomes are available. Here, we report the sequence and assembly of the whole genome of t…

Habitat restoration to conserve the Little Vermilion Flycatcher <i>Pyrocephalus nanus</i> on Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos Open
Summary The endemic Little Vermilion Flycatcher (LVF) Pyrocephalus nanus has suffered a drastic decline on Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos, where it was common 30 years ago. Currently, fewer than 40 individuals remain in the last remnants of …

Information on forage fish ages from otoliths collected in avian stomach contents Open
Otolith analysis allows studying multiple aspects of fish biology, including age estimation; however, otoliths collected from avian stomach content have not been used to estimate the age of ingested fish. We evaluated the potential ability…

Behavior of the Avian Parasite Philornis downsi (Diptera: Muscidae) in and Near Host Nests in the Galapagos Islands Open
The Avian Vampire Fly, Philornis downsi , has invaded the Galapagos Islands, where it causes high mortality of endemic and native landbird species, including most species of Darwin’s finches. Control methods are under development, but key …
