International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 31, Issue 6, Page 1030-1045, November/December 2021., 2021 Abstract Excavations at the early Neolithic settlement of WF16 in Faynan, southern Jordan, 11.84–10.24 ka BP, recovered 17,700 bird bones, of which 7808 could be identified to at least family level. Sixty‐three different bird taxa are present from 18 families, representing a mix of resident and migrant birds, based on present‐day ecology.

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 Introduction. Ethiopia is one of the most avifauna rich countries in Africa. Avifaunal surveys are required to inform conservation decisions and enhance land management for biodiversity. Avifaunal surveys from Ethiopia are lacking. This study examines species composition, relative abundance, and habitat association of avian fauna in Zegie Peninsula ...

An evidence‐based assessment of the past distribution of Golden and White‐tailed Eagles across Wales
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 2, Issue 8, August 2020., 2020 Abstract Two species of eagles (Golden and White‐tailed) bred in Wales during prehistoric and historic times and became regionally extinct as breeding species in the mid‐1800s. They are iconic and charismatic, and discussions about reintroducing them back into the Welsh landscape have been ongoing for years.

Ibis, Volume 162, Issue 2, Page 356-372, April 2020., 2020 Migration counts can offer a cost‐effective method for monitoring the state of migrant raptor populations. However, differential migration strategies between inexperienced juveniles and experienced non‐juveniles are rarely accounted for when inferring population trends from raptor migration counts. Since 2011, the Batumi Raptor Count (BRC) monitors the

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2025.Abstract Birds and their habitats are threatened with extinction around the world. Regional assessments of the “State of Birds” are a vital means to prioritize data‐driven conservation action by informing national and global policy. Such evaluations have traditionally relied on data derived from extensive, long‐term, standardized surveys that require ...

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2025.In France, the use of lead shotgun pellets was banned in 2006 for hunting in wetlands. Examining the content of harvested waterbird gizzards collected before and after the ban in the Camargue we found 12% of prevalence of lead shotgun pellet across species with no significant reduction over time.

Ibis, Volume 167, Issue 1, Page 106-123, January 2025.Bird migration is one of the greatest wildlife spectacles, producing massive global changes in the distributions of birds twice each year. To understand the evolution of this phenomenon, it is important to know the costs of these journeys in terms of the mortality they impose.

People and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 3, Page 1303-1319, June 2024.Abstract Modern humans widely shaped present ecosystems through intentional and unintentional geographical redistribution of wildlife, both in historical and pre‐historical times. However, the patterns of ancient human‐mediated indirect changes in wildlife range are largely unknown, and the mechanisms behind them remain obscure.

Ecological restoration and rewilding: two approaches with complementary goals?
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 3, Page 820-836, June 2024.ABSTRACT As we enter the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030) and address the urgent need to protect and restore ecosystems and their ecological functions at large scales, rewilding has been brought into the limelight. Interest in this discipline is thus increasing, with a large number of conceptual scientific papers published in recent years.
