From dusk till dawn: ecoacoustic monitoring reveals wind energy impacts on roding Eurasian woodcock Scolopax rusticola

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Renewable energy is vital for reducing carbon emissions and yet its infrastructure poses challenges to biodiversity. While the impacts of wind power on bats and raptors are well‐studied, the effects on elusive species remain largely unknown. The Eurasian woodcock Scolopax rusticola, a nocturnal forest bird, performs characteristic courtship flights at ...

Cultural evolution in the wild: tracking the landscape of learning in bird song: Cultural evolution in the wild

The songs of some birds are learnt, much like human music and languages, and they change over time—they evolve culturally. Learning is imperfect and more likely to occur from nearby individuals, and this simple fact opens the door for behaviours to ...

Using a live‐streaming webcam to assess the behavioural responses of waterbirds to changes in the density of swans Cygnus spp.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife research has benefitted from the development of new methods that allow data to be collected remotely, with less disturbance to focal animals. The proliferation of livestreaming webcams, for example, those used by nature reserves for public engagement purposes, have offered new possibilities for the study of wildlife behaviour.

Effects of complex soundscapes on the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula in isolated green spaces in Tokyo

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban green spaces experience a mix of natural and anthropogenic noises, which could disrupt the vocal communication of several species. This study investigated how such complex soundscapes affect the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula, which communicates through calls, focusing on both sound level and quality.
