Anthropogenic and natural factors are associated with bird dawn chorus onset in subtropical East Asia

Ibis, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic factors such as artificial lighting at night (ALAN) and natural factors including temperature and moonlight can affect the dawn chorus pattern in birds. However, most studies are conducted in temperate regions. We investigated the effect of anthropogenic and natural factors on dawn chorus timing in eight species of bird across Hong Kong ...

Repurposing Bird Bycatch From Camera Traps in Urban Landscapes: A Correlate of Avian and Mammalian Richness?

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Here, we evaluated the ecological value of bird detections obtained opportunistically from camera traps by comparing them with standardized point count surveys conducted in 2023–2024, across the metropolitan area of Firenze, central Italy, and explored their potential to indicate broader urban biodiversity patterns through cross‐taxa relationships with

Feathers and flu: identifying data gaps in avian influenza host dynamics to prioritize wildlife conservation Plumas y gripe: identificación de datos faltantes en la dinámica de hospedadores de la influenza aviar para priorizar la conservación de la vida silvestre

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 225, Issue 1, September 2026.
We describe the host response continuum for highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV), including the continuum of host responses to HPAIV infection and exposure based on the primary axis of host competence, ability to infect other hosts, and host vulnerability.

Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1851-1862, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns

Current status of birds in Tengchong Section of Gaoligongshan National Nature Reserve, China

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2019
We summarised the results of a four-year ornithological survey in the Tengchong Section of Gaoligongshan National Nature Reserve and its immediate vicinity, and compiled an inventory of the present avifauna.

Ecosystem Engineers at Work: How Beaver Ponds Reshape Avian Abundance and Diversity in a Mountainous Forest Ecosystem in Central Europe

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Eurasian beavers significantly enhance bird diversity and abundance by creating wetland habitats, with 23% higher bird numbers and more unique species at beaver ponds compared to unaffected streams. The size of water surfaces was the key factor influencing species richness, particularly benefiting birds that rely on aquatic environments.

Lead ammunition residues in the meat of hunted woodcock: a potential health risk to consumers

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2016
Wild meat often retains metallic particles originating from the ammunition fired by hunters. Since ammunition are traditionally lead (Pb)-based, the consumption of game meat may entail the ingestion of Pb embedded in tissues.

Forest degradation reduces acoustic partitioning in tropical avian communities

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 4, July 2026.
The acoustic niche hypothesis posits that species partition acoustic space by frequency and time to avoid signal masking, and that any local loss of species leaves detectable gaps in co‐evolved soundscapes. However, loss, fragmentation and disturbance of habitat often lead to species turnover, and as sensitive species are lost, generalist species ...
