Classifying biogeographic realms of the endemic fauna in the Afro‐Arabian region
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Aim Understanding diversity patterns and identifying the environmental factors that shape these patterns are essential for ecology and conservation. The Afro‐Arabian region comprises one of the most important biogeographic areas connecting continents ...

Intensive hunting changes human-wildlife relationships [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Wildlife alter their behaviors in a trade-off between consuming food and fear of becoming food themselves. The risk allocation hypothesis posits that variation in the scale, intensity and longevity of predation threats can influence the magnitude of ...

“Closer‐to‐home” strategy benefits juvenile survival in a long‐distance migratory bird
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Human‐induced changes in the climate and environment that occur at an unprecedented speed are challenging the existence of migratory species. Faced with these new challenges, species with diverse and flexible migratory behaviors may suffer less from ...

Avian Immunome DB: an example of a user-friendly interface for extracting genetic information
BMC Bioinformatics, 2020 Background Genomic and genetic studies often require a target list of genes before conducting any hypothesis testing or experimental verification. With the ever-growing number of sequenced genomes and a variety of different annotation strategies, comes ...

Using weather radar to help minimize wind energy impacts on nocturnally migrating birds
Conservation Letters, 2022 As wind energy rapidly expands worldwide, information to minimize impacts of this development on biodiversity is urgently needed. Here we demonstrate how data collected by weather radar networks can inform placement and operation of wind facilities to ...

Animal migration in the Anthropocene: threats and mitigation options
Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical SocietyAnimal migration has fascinated scientists and the public alike for centuries, yet migratory animals are facing diverse threats that could lead to their demise. The Anthropocene is characterised by the reality that humans are the dominant force on Earth,

The genetics and epigenetics of animal migration and orientation: birds, butterflies and beyond
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2019 Migration is a complex behavioural adaptation for survival that has evolved across the animal kingdom from invertebrates to mammals. In some taxa, closely related migratory species, or even populations of the same species, exhibit different migratory ...
