Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2253-2264, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

Characterization, Selection, and Trans-Species Polymorphism in the MHC Class II of Heermann’s Gull (Charadriiformes)

open access: yes, 2022
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) enables vertebrates to cope with pathogens and maintain healthy populations, thus making it a unique set of loci for addressing ecology and evolutionary biology questions. The aim of our study was to examine the

A global latitudinal decline in breeding site fidelity emerges from a single biome

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Species that breed in multiple years can either return to the same location to reproduce between seasons or disperse to a different location. Previous studies have shown that breeding site fidelity varies with species‐ and individual‐specific traits, but much of the observed variation remains unexplained.

Underestimation of avian diversity in the Tumbesian hotspot: Sampling gaps and conservation challenges

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study provides the first comprehensive reassessment of avian diversity in the Tumbesian region in over 30 years, documenting 931 species and identifying significant sampling gaps driven by geographic accessibility. We reveal a critical misalignment between biodiversity value and current protection coverage, particularly in humid forests which ...

Relationships between chick vocalizations and parental absence in Kentish Plovers

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1437-1447, October 2026.
Chick calls within bird species vary greatly, often in relation to whether parents are present. We studied chick calls in a nidifugous shorebird, the Kentish Plover Anarhynchus alexandrinus, in three circumstances—(1) on the nest with parental presence; (2) on the nest with parental absence; and (3) out‐of‐nest with human observer presence—and ...

Environmental Filtering, Spatial Structure and Species Associations Shape Estuarine Shorebird Metacommunities Across a Continental Network

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Australian estuaries provide important non‐breeding habitat near the southern end of the East Asian–Australasian Flyway, but many are affected by coastal modification, vegetation expansion and changing hydrological conditions. We examined how habitat composition, habitat configuration, regional connectivity and residual species ...
