DOI: 10.1007/s00705-022-05380-3
Abstract: Adenoviruses have been reported to infect a variety of birds. Here, we isolated a novel adenovirus from the liver of a dead owl chick (Bengal eagle owl; Bubo bengalensis) at a raptor-breeding facility in Japan… read more here.

The sounds of silence: Barn owl noise in landing and taking off
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Behavioural Processes"
DOI: 10.1016/j.beproc.2018.06.011
Abstract: A barn owl swooping down generated a quieter, almost silent, noise (acoustic impulses) compared to a louder noise generated by the owl when taking off. These acoustic impulses are at low frequencies which are below… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tins.2018.01.004
Abstract: In a series of seminal behavioral and electrophysiological experiments, Knudsen and Konishi studied the mechanisms of hearing. Their 1979 article showed how the barn owl utilizes unique anatomical features for creating a systematic internal representation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2119217119
Abstract: Significance Owls, with their largely nocturnal habits, contrast strikingly with the vast majority of diurnal birds. A new spectacular late Miocene owl skeleton from China unexpectedly preserves the oldest evidence for daytime behavior in owls.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/icb/icaa106
Abstract: Owl flight has been studied over multiple decades associated with bio-inspiration for silent flight. However, their aerodynamics have been less researched. The aerodynamic noise generated during flight depends on the turbulent state of the flow.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ibi.12593
Abstract: Highway programmes typically focus on reducing vehicle collisions with large mammals because of economic or safety reasons, while overlooking the millions of birds that die annually from traffic. We studied wildlife–vehicle collisions along an interstate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1142/9789813235533_0013
Abstract: Our knowledge of the biological mechanisms underlying complex human disease is largely incomplete. While Semantic Web technologies, such as the Web Ontology Language (OWL), provide powerful techniques for representing existing knowledge, well-established OWL reasoners are… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/fi14030078
Abstract: In this paper we study Graphol, a fully graphical language inspired by standard formalisms for conceptual modeling, similar to the UML class diagram and the ER model, but equipped with formal semantics. We formally prove… read more here.
