Linking Habitat Conditions, Human Pressures, and Waterbird Diversity in a West African Coastal Wetland

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The Tanji wetland complex, situated on the Atlantic coast of The Gambia, is a coastal mosaic of mangroves, riparian forest, lagoons, and offshore islands of high ornithological significance. Despite its protected status, the reserve faces mounting pressures from human activities and environmental change, yet comprehensive ecological data ...

Species distribution models predict a future decline in urban avian biodiversity in response to changes in land use and climatic conditions

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 3, July–September 2025.
Urbanisation and climate change threaten biodiversity, especially in densely populated regions like the Ruhr Metropolis. Using citizen science, remote sensing and ensemble species distribution models, we projected habitat suitability for 26 bird species under future scenarios.

Managing coextinction of insects in a changing climate [PDF]

, 2013
Approximately a quarter of global terrestrial biodiversity is represented by plant dwelling insects and the potential for thousands of species to be extinguished through widespread disturbances such as a changing climate is high. From a large database of

Habitat heterogeneity from lidar and hyperspectral data: Implications for bird guilds and restoration management of coal mines

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 7, Page 1659-1673, July 2025.
This study underscores the need to design a mosaic of habitats with complex vertical structures, emphasising the critical role of senescent vegetation and unaltered terrain features in supporting biodiversity. Finally, it provides evidence that integrating habitat heterogeneity metrics derived from airborne remote sensing data into restoration success ...

Abundance and reproduction behavior data for waterbirds (Anatidae, Rallidae, Charadriiforms, Podicipediforms) breeding in European France based on a probability sampling design

Ecological Research, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 631-643, July 2025.
In this paper, we provide the dataset issued from field surveys of 2428 grid cells of 500 m × 500 m in French wetlands during springs 2021 and 2022. Such cells resulted from a stratified two‐stage sampling design. The 132,292 birds recorded in this study, together with their reproduction behavior, will be used to evaluate national breeding population ...

Commons are cared for: Coexistence between humans and wild birds on the island of Kihnu, Estonia

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 960-973, May 2025.
Abstract Local knowledge is an essential dimension of humanity's relationship with the environment. Investigating the interdependence between humans and wild birds holds value in fostering a mutually beneficial relationship with avian populations. Gathering bird eggs is a significant practice for Kihnu islanders in Estonia.

Plio‐Pleistocene Environmental Changes Drove the Settlement of Aotearoa New Zealand by Australian Open‐Habitat Bird Lineages

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, February 2025.
ABSTRACT In a changing environment, vacant niches can be filled either by adaptation of local taxa or range‐expanding invading species. The relative tempo of these patterns is of key interest in the modern age of climate change. Aotearoa New Zealand has been a hotspot of biogeographic research for decades due to its long‐term isolation and dramatic ...

Haemosporidian infections are more common in breeding shorebirds than in migrating shorebirds

Ibis, Volume 166, Issue 4, Page 1354-1367, October 2024.
Migrating animals are thought to be important spillover sources for novel pathogens. Haemosporidians (malaria‐related parasites) are one such group of pathogens that commonly spillover into novel host communities if competent vectors are present. In birds, shorebirds (sandpipers, plovers and allies) perform some of the longest avian migrations, yet ...
