Recommendations for Improving the Modeling of Wintering Waterbird Population Sizes and Trends. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We assessed four statistical approaches (simple GLMM, optimized GLMM, LORI, and TRIM) for analyzing International Waterbird Census data and found that commonly used methods inadequately address zero inflation, overdispersion, and spatial autocorrelation.

Threats to and management of Natura 2000 protected areas relative to agricultural practices. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) network combines biodiversity protection and socioeconomic targets. Human activities, such as agricultural practices, can affect biodiversity in N2K sites in diverse ways. Limiting activities with negative impacts while enforcing land management that supports biodiversity is crucial for effective conservation.

Evaluation of the distance sampling technique to monitor gregarious species: A simulation exercise

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2023
Wildlife count data are used to provide estimates of population abundance. To quantify changes in the size of populations, it is necessary to determine the precision of abundance estimates.

Field margins as substitute habitat for the conservation of birds in agricultural wetlands

Peer Community Journal, 2023
Breeding birds in agricultural landscapes have declined considerably since the 1950s and the beginning of agricultural intensification in Europe. Given the increasing pressure on agricultural land, it is necessary to identify conservation measures that ...

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Blood Parasite Infections and Impacts on Avian Health and Reproduction. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Parasitic infections are ubiquitous in nature, but their consequences are often difficult to evaluate in wildlife. This is particularly the case for chronic infections for which fitness impacts can be subtle or confounded with other intrinsic and extrinsic factors.

Waterfowl Move Less in Heterogeneous and Human-Populated Landscapes, With Implications for Spread of Avian Influenza Viruses. [PDF]

Ecol Lett
We show that non‐migratory waterfowl movement distances are shorter in areas of high land cover heterogeneity and human population density, and that these movement distances are related to the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza. These results suggest that habitat management could contribute to the spread of these viruses.
