The “regime shift extinctions” hypothesis and mass extinction of waterbirds in Hawaiʻi

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Studies of biodiversity loss commonly imply that species extinctions occurred as a direct result of initial human arrival and thus are attributable to stewardship failures of Indigenous Peoples. However, recent studies have suggested this assumption is not supported by the evidence, prompting a global reevaluation of existing assumptions.

Mosquito iDNA Reflects Fine Scale Composition of Tropical Fauna

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
We used mosquito iDNA to investigate fine scale ecological patterns of birds and mammals in the tropical savanna woodlands of Kakadu National Park. Revealing that mammalian richness is influenced by site, while avian richness changes with season. While community composition is influenced by fire during the dry season and vegetation during the wet ...

Coordinated movements of multiple pied‐billed grebes in association with an American alligator

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Interspecific associations can arise when one species benefits from the presence or behavior of another, often during foraging. Here, we describe a previously undocumented behavioral interaction between pied‐billed grebes (Podilymbus podiceps) and an American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) in a freshwater wetland in South Florida ...

Birds under pressure: associations of highly‐, moderately‐, and lowly‐abundant birds with landscape and local variables in a dense Neotropical city

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 5, September 2025.
Urban ecological studies often emphasize the role of vegetation‐related factors in promoting local biodiversity, but less attention has been given to human‐related factors, especially in tropical assemblages dominated by native species. In this study, we assessed the role of landscape and local variables in bird species richness and abundance in ...
