Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.Abstract Introduction Restoration of marine and freshwater wetlands for shorebirds is essential for the recovery of their declining populations. An ongoing approach is to restore shorebird habitats by large‐scale engineering, expecting the return of birds once suitable abiotic conditions are (re)established.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We used sedimentary ancient DNA shotgun metagenomics to reconstruct past bird communities in northern high‐latitude environments. By using long time series and data collected across a large environmental gradient, we contributed in a unique and explorative way to the understanding of palaeoecological dynamics between birds and their habitat on the ...

Thyroid hormones correlate with resting metabolic rate, not daily energy expenditure, in two charadriiform seabirds [PDF]
, 2013 K. Woo, M. Le Vaillant, T. van Nus, and especially A. Wesphal, J. Schultner and I. Dorresteijn, assisted with field work, often under unpleasant conditions. K. Wauthier was instrumental in wrestling the gamma counter into submission. P.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.This study monitored nests of lapwings with cameras and weekly visits at inland sites in eastern France, and at coastal sites in northern France. About a third of nests failed; the main causes of failure were agricultural equipment (11%), abandonment (8.2%), and depredation (7.5%). Estimates of nest survival for a 27‐day incubation were 66% and 59% for

Comparative Genomics Reveals Genetic Adaptations to Diving‐Associated Foraging in Anseriformes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We conducted a comparative genomic analysis of 25 Anseriformes species with diverse foraging strategies to uncover the genetic basis of diving adaptation. Diving waterfowl exhibited signatures of positive selection and functional enrichment in metabolic regulation, transmembrane transport, and neural processes essential for hypoxia tolerance.

Adaptation in the Avian Middle Ear—The Columellar Annular Ligament in Aquatic and Diving Birds
Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 4, April 2026.The size of the columellar footplate relative to the oval window shows striking variation across species: it fits snugly within the oval window in, for example owls (left), but considerably smaller than the oval window in diving taxa such as cormorants (right).
