Falcons reduce pre‐harvest food safety risks and crop damage from wild birds

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 12, Page 3327-3340, December 2025.
In the absence of American kestrels, there are more birds in orchards. This leads to increased crop damage and more bird faecal contamination. Abstract Foodborne illness outbreaks have heightened pressures on growers to improve food safety, including mitigating possible threats from wildlife. Among wildlife, birds are particularly challenging to deter,

Validating Airborne eDNA Using Manual Surveys, Acoustic Monitoring and Camera Traps to Detect Birds and Mammals in an Agroforestry Setting

open access: yesEnvironmental 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 ...

ARES(2014)2425342 - 22/07/2014. Organisation and running of a scientific workshop to complete selected invasive alien species (IAS) risk assessments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The introduction and spread of invasive alien species (IAS) constitutes one of the most important drivers of global change in biodiversity and ecosystem services. Robust risk assessment methods are required for IAS to provide the foundation upon which to

Management Implications of Molt Migration by the Atlantic Flyway Resident Population of Canada Geese, Branta canadensis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We used satellite-tracked transmitters in 2001 and 2003 to document the timing, location, and extent of molt migrations by female Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) affiliated with the Atlantic Flyway Resident Population (AFRP) of Canada Geese that breed ...

Landscape suitability and range expansion estimates for the North American Interior Population of trumpeter swans

open access: yesThe 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

Predator activity, proactive anti‐predator strategies and nesting phenology produce a dynamic landscape of risk to tundra goose reproduction

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesGlobal 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

open access: yesGlobal 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

open access: yesEcology, 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.
