How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

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

Biosaintifika: Journal of Biology & Biology Education, 2017 Javan Plover named Charadrius javanicus is taxonomically under controversy and phylogenetically unresolved yet. Through an analysis of DNA barcode, this study aims (1) to confirm whether Javan Plover is separated species named Charadrius javanicus or a ...

Habitat and spatial trends of U.K. wintering waterbird populations over 50 years
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract The United Kingdom is an important wintering ground for millions of waterbirds. Most U.K. wintering waterbird populations increased between 1970 and the mid‐1990s, but declined thereafter. We examined U.K. population indices in 46 wintering waterbird species in two 25‐year periods, 1970–1994 and 1995–2019, to identify which waterbird groups ...

Studies of seasonal changes in heavy metal contamination in three shorebird species at Teesmouth, North east England [PDF]
, 1992 Concentrations of lead, cadmium, copper, and zinc were measured in kidney and liver tissues of three species of shorebirds that winter on the industrial River Tees estuary: Sanderling, Calidris alba; Ringed Plover, Charadrius hiatacula; and Grey Plover,

Conservation 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
Ibis, 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 ...

Journal 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 ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.Long‐legged Buzzard (Buteo rufinus) nests function as long‐term reservoirs of macroplastics, with plastic material persisting in nest structures and being transferred to other bird species through interspecific nest reuse. This persistence creates an overlooked pathway for the accumulation and spread of plastic pollution in terrestrial ecosystems, with
