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 ...

The causes and implications of sex role diversity in shorebird breeding systems

Ibis, Volume 166, Issue 2, Page 357-385, April 2024.
Males and females often exhibit different behaviours during mate acquisition, pair‐bonding and parenting, and a convenient label to characterize these behaviours is sex role. The diverse roles that male and female shorebirds (plovers, sandpipers and allies) exhibit in mating and parenting have played a key role in advancing mainstream theories in avian

The Importance of Wetlands for the Conservation of Birds in Tigray National Regional State (Northern Ethiopia)

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Many birds use wetland habitats for all or part of their lives. This study was conducted to investigate the significance of wetlands and associated habitats for bird conservation in the central zone of Tigray, northern Ethiopia, from June 2022 to May 2023. The point count method was used to study the bird assemblage structure and diversity. The Shannon–
