Article Abstract
Turkey has a very unique and important location for migratory birds in terms of geography. The country's 486 bird species include 416 migratory birds, and most of them are listed on an IUCN Red List. Turkey is party to three international conventions (BERN, RAMSAR, and PARIS) related to migratory birds, but it is not party to the BONN Convention or the AEWA, ACAP, and ASEAN agreements aimed at the conservation of migratory species. We tried to determine which species are protected under the conventions and agreements to which Turkey is a party or not. We used a 5-point scoring chart to rate how well Turkish legislation on migratory birds compared with the abovementioned international conventions and agreements. Turkish judiciary on this issue is also analyzed by examining whether the cases in question were in favor of or against the protected bird species.

Wild birds may be involved in the transmission of agents of infectious diseases, including zoonoses, a circumstance which raises a number of public and animal health issues. Migratory bird species play a significant role in the introduction of tick-borne pathogens to new geographic areas, contributing to the dissemination of various etiological agents. This preliminary study aimed to assess the occurrence of four potentially zoonotic pathogens ( spp.

Most species of migrating birds use a combination of innate vector-based orientation programs and social information to facilitate accurate navigation during their life. A number of various interspecies hybridisations have been reported in birds. The traits of parents are expressed in hybrids in typical ways which are either intermediate, combined or heterotic.

Pediculosis caused by chewing lice may pose a threat to domesticated and wild birds' health. These ectoparasites can cause pruritus, poor feather condition and do weaken hosts making them susceptible to other infections. Species of the genus Saemundssonia which are called ecomorphic head lice parasitize a wide range of aquatic birds from the family Laridae.

Land use change from wildlands to urban and productive environments can dramatically transform ecosystem structure and processes. Despite their structural and functional differences from wildlands, human-modified environments offer unique habitat elements for wildlife. In this study, we examined how migratory birds use urban, productive, and wildland environments of a highly anthropized region of Western Mexico known as "El Bajío".

The fluke Clinostomum complanatum, a parasite of piscivorous birds, but also reptiles and rarely mammals, has established several foci in the western Palaearctic regions. Previous studies pointed out the complicated taxonomy of the genus, but broader population genetic analysis of C. complanatum has not yet been carried out.
