Evaluation of factors affecting greater prairie‐chicken nest and brood survival

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Greater prairie‐chickens Tympanuchus cupido pinnatus in the Flint Hills ecoregion select recently burned grasslands for brooding and nest in areas that have been unburned for 1–3 years, suggesting the need for a mosaic of burn patches. However, it is unknown how patch area, configuration, and proximity to edges within such mosaics affect reproductive ...

Persecution by humans affects nest‐site selection of Hooded Crows: a comparison of an urban and two rural areas

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
The Hooded Crow, a bird species that once occurred only in agricultural areas, has colonized urban environments in the last 50–100 years in Europe. Apart from higher food availability, safer nesting sites, better thermoregulation and lower predation in cities, persecution through hunting, trapping or poisoning by humans in rural areas is an important ...

Seeding wildrye grasses (Elymus spp.) overcomes litter interactions to slow decomposition in buckthorn‐managed forests (Rhamnus cathartica)

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) is an invasive shrub that is widespread throughout deciduous forests of North America. Buckthorn benefits more from increased nitrogen availability compared to many native competitors. Increased litter decomposition can be a part of a self‐reinforcing mechanism of invasion.

Gall Apparency Drives Parasitoid Richness in a Highly Specialised Gall‐Parasitoid Food Web From a Tropical Rainforest

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
We present the largest tropical tri‐trophic plant–gall–parasitoid network documented to date, assembled from lowland rainforest in Papua New Guinea. The network reveals strikingly high specialisation, in addition to gall traits such as apparency shaping parasitoid richness.

Measuring Bird Morphology From Field Photographs

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
We evaluated a digital photography approach based on the pinhole camera model to estimate bird morphometric traits from single images, testing its accuracy under controlled conditions and across 37 species photographed in the field. Photographic measurements showed strong agreement with museum and database‐derived traits (ρ = 0.82–0.95), with wing and ...
