External structures at the nest‐site predict asymmetric architecture of nests in a mud‐building bird

Ibis, EarlyView.
In the animal kingdom, nests are essential structures and textbook examples of extended phenotypes. However, the relationship between builders, nest traits and the nest‐site remains poorly understood. We indirectly examine whether structures in the nest‐site influence nest‐building behaviour, specifically focusing on their effect on nest architecture ...

Feathers and flu: identifying data gaps in avian influenza host dynamics to prioritize wildlife conservation Plumas y gripe: identificación de datos faltantes en la dinámica de hospedadores de la influenza aviar para priorizar la conservación de la vida silvestre

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 225, Issue 1, September 2026.
We describe the host response continuum for highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV), including the continuum of host responses to HPAIV infection and exposure based on the primary axis of host competence, ability to infect other hosts, and host vulnerability.

Mangrove Pollinator Functional Diversity Decreases With Patch Size and Landscape Anthropization

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2025.
This study explores how land use changes impact pollinator diversity in mangrove ecosystems, focusing on the effects of patch size and landscape anthropization on pollinators with different functional traits. Results show that smaller mangrove patches can support higher pollinator abundance, richness, and diversity; however, overall pollinator metrics ...

Behavioural co‐option of plant secondary compounds by a cavity‐nesting bird is an adaptation against competition and predation

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 362-370, February 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Interactions with competitors and predators can generate strong selection and favour the evolution of novel strategies for mitigating fitness costs. Adaptations to mitigate competition and predation risk often involve evolution of traits which directly reduce costs ...

Associations between a feral equid and the Sonoran Desert ecosystem Asociaciones Entre un Equino Salvaje y el Ecosistema del Desierto Sonorense

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 215, Issue 1, July 2024.
We documented negative associations between feral burros and several elements of the Sonoran Desert ecosystem, and suggest that differences associated with this feral equid may be ecologically important and may have the potential to affect the long‐term viability of this ecosystem.

Nest‐site selection and reproductive success of a critically endangered parrot, the Great Green Macaw (Ara ambiguus), in an anthropogenic landscape

Ibis, Volume 166, Issue 2, Page 518-533, April 2024.
Nest‐site selection is the principal way in which secondary cavity‐nesting species mitigate the negative effects of factors such as predation, parasitism and exposure on reproductive success. Large‐bodied secondary cavity‐nesting birds rely on large cavities in mature trees that are often absent or reduced in anthropogenically disturbed forests. Hence,

Sensitivity of North American grassland birds to weather and climate variability

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 1, February 2024.
Abstract Grassland birds in North America have declined sharply over the last 60 years, driven by the widespread loss and degradation of grassland habitats. Climate change is occurring more rapidly in grasslands relative to some other ecosystems, and exposure to extreme and novel climate conditions may affect grassland bird ecology and demographics. To
