De Novo Genome Assemblies of Four Rainbow Trout Genetic Lines Reveal Structural Variants in Pursuit of a Pangenome Reference

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exhibit extensive genomic diversity shaped by domestication, life history and geographic origin. To advance the development of a comprehensive pangenome reference, we present new de novo genome assemblies of two genetically and ecologically distinct lines: Whale Rock (WR; wild, landlocked, Central California)

Non‐native parrot species expand the trait space of avian communities by filling empty niches in urban areas

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 1055-1070, July 2026.
Non‐native species are one of the greatest threats to biodiversity worldwide due to their direct and indirect effects on native communities. There are two opposing hypotheses to explain how non‐native species successfully establish outside their native range.

A half century of monitoring reveals contrasting survival responses of Icelandic seabirds to climate and fisheries pressures

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 950-971, July 2026.
Seabirds serve as key indicators of marine environmental changes, with adult survival being a critical parameter for assessing population health. Iceland hosts some of the largest seabird populations in the North Atlantic, making it a valuable location for studying long‐term trends in seabird demographics.

Behavioural and fitness effects of experimental immune activation during incubation in a wild passerine

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 934-949, July 2026.
Incubation is vital for avian embryo development but demands significant parental investment, potentially at the cost of self‐maintenance and immune function. For example, the acute phase response (APR), a systemic reaction against inflammation, infection or tissue injury, can trigger sickness behaviours such as reduced activity and foraging.

Combining δ2H and δ34S stable isotopes identifies diverse moult strategies in a short‐distance migratory bird

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 1002-1015, July 2026.
Moult strategies in birds can vary considerably even within a single species, particularly in terms of where moulting takes place. Yet, the factors underlying this variation and its consistency across years and individuals remain poorly understood. One such strategy, moult migration, involves individuals moving to a specific moulting location amid ...
