Bird community effects on avian malaria infections [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 In community assembly processes, interspecific interactions play an important role in shaping community diversity, especially at the local scale. Changes in species richness or abundance can modify local infectious disease dynamics, either reducing or ...

Plant Invasion-Induced Habitat Changes Impact a Bird Community through the Taxonomic Filtering of Habitat Assemblages [PDF]
AnimalsDescribing the spatial distribution of communities is crucial to understanding how environmental disturbance can affect biodiversity. Agricultural lands are susceptible to disturbances of anthropogenic origin and have been identified as ecosystems of ...

Changes in a Bird Community in an Agricultural Landscape in Northeast Germany between 1999 and 2015
Land, 2022 Temporal changes in the bird community of an agricultural landscape in northeast Germany were analysed covering three different analytical foci (landscape-wide, habitat types, sample plots) and two aggregation levels of bird observation data (whole bird ...

Journal of Avian Biology, 2021 Determining the roles of host ecology and geography on the distribution of parasites is an important aim in disease ecology. However, this is extremely challenging for vector transmitted pathogens due to complex host–vector–parasite interactions.

Olfactory camouflage and communication in birds [PDF]
Biological Reviews, 2022 ABSTRACTSmell is a sensory modality that is rarely considered in birds, but evidence is mounting that olfaction is an important aspect of avian behaviour and ecology. The uropygial gland produces an odoriferous secretion (preen oil) that can differ seasonally and between the sexes. These differences are hypothesized to function in olfactory camouflage,

Multi-scale associations between vegetation cover and woodland bird communities across a large agricultural region. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Improving biodiversity conservation in fragmented agricultural landscapes has become an important global issue. Vegetation at the patch and landscape-scale is important for species occupancy and diversity, yet few previous studies have explored multi ...

Landscape-Scale Effects of Irrigation on a Dry Cereal Farmland Bird Community
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Landscape modification and habitat fragmentation are one of the major current threats to biodiversity. The main source of habitat fragmentation is the loss of focal habitat area, but changes in the composition of the surrounding landscape also have a ...
