A theoretical model of flock formation to understand trade‐offs between cooperation and competition

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Migratory birds often form flocks during spring migration and compete for territories once they arrive at breeding sites. Understanding the emergence and structure of these flocks has important implications for avian ecology and conservation, as flocking can influence migration success, resource distribution, and population resilience. In this

Estimating waterfowl breeding pair and brood densities using distance sampling with uncrewed aerial systems

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
Uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) equipped with thermal cameras are increasingly being used in wildlife research. Here, we explore the use of UAS paired with distance sampling to detect and estimate densities of waterfowl pairs and broods in Wisconsin.

Eelgrass Distribution in the Great Bay Estuary for 2006 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Eelgrass in Great Bay itself decreased substantially (43%) between 2005 and 2006, due to losses in both biomass and distribution. Little Bay and the Piscataqua River showed greater change(loss of 40%) between 2005 and 2006 than previously, with very low ...

BirT: A Novel Primer Pair for Avian Environmental DNA Metabarcoding

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
The BirT primers target the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene and are designed for avian eDNA metabarcoding. They safeguard against the amplification of mammal, fish and amphibian DNA and were successfully used to detect bird species from eDNA samples obtained in Southern Ontario. Detections were cross‐checked with eBird observations.
