Abstract
Journal of Avian Biology (JAB) publishes hypothesis-driven, high-quality research from all parts of the globe that advances our understanding of the ecology, evolution and behaviour of birds. Findings can be disseminated in research articles, short communications, viewpoint articles and reviews. Reviews perform an important function as vehicles to convey critical information in a synthesized way; they not only aggregate information, but also identify current research gaps and pave the way for future investigation. Comprehensive review articles, however, are major undertakings that may quickly go out of date. To address this challenge and to offer a nimbler format to publish overviews of a particular field or aspect in avian biology, JAB introduced the ‘mini-review' article category in December 2022. As the name suggests, mini-reviews are shorter than standard reviews (about 6000 words) and can be used to highlight a sub-topic or ongoing debate within a broader research area. They provide a succinct and clear summary of the research topic and give readers a quick overview of the most recent and significant advances.
