In situ aerial bioacoustic monitoring from extremely noisy drone recordings

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 7, Page 2061-2072, July 2026.
Abstract Aerial bioacoustic monitoring has the potential to transform biodiversity surveys by enabling rapid acoustic sampling across large and inaccessible habitats. However, its application from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has remained limited because strong rotor self‐noise overwhelms target sounds such as bird vocalisations, compromising the ...

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

Ibis, 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.

Contrasting Forest Trajectories Drive Changes in Bird Functional Traits

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim We investigated how bird functional diversity varies across forest habitat types with distinct successional trajectories, namely (1) natural succession forests, with naturally regenerating forests established on former grasslands; (2) secondary forest remnants resulting from deforestation; and (3) conserved forests.

Assessing forest fragmentation and biodiversity impacts in sub‐Saharan Africa: Methodological challenges and conservation strategies for small‐scale agricultural landscapes

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Tropical forests in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) harbor around one‐third of the world's species but are becoming more fragmented due to the expansion of human settlements and small‐scale agricultural (SCA) areas. This study systematically reviewed the approaches and methods used to analyze forest fragmentation and its impact on biodiversity in SSA,

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.

Bird Diversity and Habitat Associations in the Tara Gedam Monastery Church Forest: A Seasonally Informed Study in Northwestern Ethiopia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study explores how habitat structure and seasonal variation shape bird diversity in the Tara Gedam Monastery church forest of Ethiopia. Across wet and dry seasons, 94 species were recorded, with abundance higher in the wet season but diversity remaining stable, underscoring the forest's role as a perennial refuge.

Species Distribution Models and Abundance Estimates Enhance Breeding Bird Atlas Data

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our primary goal was to leverage the large amount of systematic and volunteer‐based data produced by the Minnesota Breeding Bird Atlas to develop species distribution models and population estimates for as many breeding bird species as possible. We utilized three complementary techniques to develop species distribution models and maps for 136 breeding ...
