Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 11, Page 2282-2294, November 2025.We show that Arctic and red fox space use significantly affects goose nest habitat selection and nest success in a low‐Arctic tundra ecosystem. However, the impact of fox predation depended on the location and timing of incubation of the nest, demonstrating the importance of incorporating time into the ‘landscape of fear’ concept.

Almost Seven Decades of Coastal Bird Community Recovery Across Three European Seas
Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.Our study examined long‐term trends in coastal bird communities across three European seas from 1957 to 2024. We found that bird abundance and diversity have increased over time, although these improvements vary among regions and sites. Protected areas—particularly strictly protected ones—play an important role in supporting these recoveries, but ...

Solar Radiation Affects Bird Distributions but Not Elevational Shifts in European Mountains
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 11, November 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Climate change is driving species towards higher elevations. While local shifts in elevation are well documented, patterns across entire mountain regions are less understood. On a local scale, abiotic factors, such as topography and solar radiation relating to microclimate, affect species distributions and can thus influence the rate of ...

Marine resources alter tundra food web dynamics by subsidizing a terrestrial predator on the sea ice
Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 10, October 2025.Abstract Predator use of resource subsidies can strengthen top‐down effects on prey when predators respond numerically to subsidies. Although allochthonous subsidies are generally transported along natural gradients, consumers can cross ecosystem boundaries to acquire subsidies, thereby linking disparate ecosystems.

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 10, October 2025.ABSTRACT During recent decades, increased populations of geese have raised concerns about their potential impact on the abundance and composition of shoreline vegetation through grazing, and how this may affect other organisms relying on the same vegetation for food or refuge.

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 284-294, September/October 2025.ABSTRACT Agents of taphonomy can bias skeletal parts and the frequency of bones in archaeological sites. An important factor to consider is the possible effect of bone density‐mediated attrition on archaeornithological assemblages. We scanned willow ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) specimens using a Lunar iDXA and an enCcore small animal body add‐on to ...

Assessing relative hazard, risk, and seasonal differences of wildlife‐aircraft collisions
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2025.Wildlife collisions with aircraft have occurred since the inception of aviation, with significant safety and economic implications. Strike risk models are used to assess the probability of an adverse event between wildlife and aircraft, providing information to guide wildlife management at airports. This study builds upon DeVault et al.

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 4, July 2025.Geese and swans are focal species in conservation and in management aimed at reducing crop damage. In the former disturbance should be minimized, and in the latter it is important to know how different species react to scaring activities. Previous research about trade‐off between predation risk and foraging in birds often uses ‘flight initiation ...

Ecological Research, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 631-643, July 2025.In this paper, we provide the dataset issued from field surveys of 2428 grid cells of 500 m × 500 m in French wetlands during springs 2021 and 2022. Such cells resulted from a stratified two‐stage sampling design. The 132,292 birds recorded in this study, together with their reproduction behavior, will be used to evaluate national breeding population ...
