Strong Variation in Land‐Use Change Impacts on Tropical Avian Phylogenetic Diversity Between Ecoregions Highlights the Need to Sample Large Spatial Scales

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2026.
Forest conversion for agriculture is a major cause of biodiversity loss in the tropics, but its impacts depend on how broadly they are measured. Using data from across Colombia, one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, we examined how deforestation for cattle farming affects the evolutionary history of bird species.

Non‐Passerine Birds in Zoos: A Global Approach on Distribution Patterns of Threatened Birds in Zoological Institutions 动物园中非雀形目鸟类:全球动物机构中受威胁鸟类的分布模式研究

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 600-615, December 2025.
Only 1541 (34.2%) of 4503 recognized non‐passerine bird species are held in ZIMS institutions worldwide. Approximately ~83% of the species kept globally are classified as non‐threatened and ~16% as threatened. To improve the conservation of threatened birds, a shift toward keeping threatened species should be considered within ex situ management ...

Linking Habitat Conditions, Human Pressures, and Waterbird Diversity in a West African Coastal Wetland

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The Tanji wetland complex, situated on the Atlantic coast of The Gambia, is a coastal mosaic of mangroves, riparian forest, lagoons, and offshore islands of high ornithological significance. Despite its protected status, the reserve faces mounting pressures from human activities and environmental change, yet comprehensive ecological data ...

Seasonal Exploitation of Migratory Waterfowl at Natufian el‐Wad Terrace, Mount Carmel, Israel

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 555-570, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Increased avian exploitation is a hallmark of broad‐spectrum subsistence strategies in the Levantine Natufian culture (15,000–11,700 cal. BP). However, detailed publications of bird remains from the Natufian are scant, especially regarding the Early Natufian, and the available evidence shows high inter‐site variability that begs explanation ...

Solar Radiation Affects Bird Distributions but Not Elevational Shifts in European Mountains

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Climate change is driving species towards higher elevations. While local shifts in elevation are well documented, patterns across entire mountain regions are less understood. On a local scale, abiotic factors, such as topography and solar radiation relating to microclimate, affect species distributions and can thus influence the rate of ...
