Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.In this study, we provide the first comparison of airborne eDNA with observer‐based surveys and passive acoustic monitoring, alongside camera traps, to monitor birds and mammals in a Dutch agroforestry system. Airborne eDNA showed the highest potential species diversity, detected many unique species–including invasive mammals–and complemented ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 8, November 2025.We incorporated landscape suitability into a trumpeter swan range expansion model. We estimated a 4.4% (95% CI: 2.0–6.9%) annual range expansion rate from 2023 to 2033, with expansion occurring in the Prairie Pothole Region of the Dakotas and the Boreal Shield and James Bay Lowlands of Canada. Abstract The Interior Population of trumpeter swans (Cygnus

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 ...
