An Analysis of Great Tit Egg Traits Across the City Mosaic: Urbanisation Does Not Affect Egg Size and Pigmentation Patterns

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Based on data from over 550 great tit (Parus major) eggs collected in the city mosaic, this research finds no effect of urbanisation on egg volume or pigmentation patterns. These results suggest that urban‐driven environmental pressures may not be as strong or directional during the egg laying phase as they are at later stages of reproduction ...

Departing With the Wind: Spring Migration Timing in Brent Geese From Their Most Important Staging and Wintering Site, the Wadden Sea World Heritage Site

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
The timing of migratory departure reflects a balance between endogenous schedules and transient environmental opportunities. By linking GPS‐derived departure events with hourly atmospheric data, we demonstrate that wind assistance strongly increases departure probability in Brent Geese, while this selectivity weakens over time as migratory urgency ...

Urbanization Drives Patterns of Individual Specialization but Not Dietary Diversity Among Coyotes

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Niche partitioning and resource specialization can lead to spatial heterogeneity in trophic dynamics, but little is known about how these dynamics may change across landscapes of varying complexity. Urban ecosystems are characterized by a wider array of both natural and anthropogenic food sources, which can increase predator densities compared to ...

Diversity Under Pressure: Long‐Term Genetic Decline in California's Central Valley Chinook Salmon ESA Listed Runs

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Chinook salmon in the Central Valley of California have notable intraspecific diversity because it is the only place where four distinct migration timings (Winter, Spring, Fall, Late‐fall) co‐occur. The Winter run is listed as Endangered and the Spring run is listed as Threatened under the Endangered Species Act. To quantify temporal changes in genetic

DNA barcoding for identification of species involved in wildlife strikes at Brazilian airports

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
A collaborative network of 42 Brazilian airports applied DNA barcoding to identify 80 species involved in wildlife strikes. Among them, 32 species (17 birds and 15 bats) were not currently available in Brazil's wildlife strike reporting database, underscoring the value of molecular tools for strengthening wildlife strike monitoring. Abstract This study

Suspected lymphoid leukosis visceral lymphoma with intestinal and ovarian involvement in a chicken

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, August 2026.
Abstract An adult hen from a small poultry flock was submitted for diagnostic investigation because of nonspecific clinical disease and suspected neoplasia. At necropsy, the bird had ascites, splenomegaly, severe intestinal adhesions, nodular intestinal lesions and ovarian masses. Histopathology revealed extensive infiltration of the intestinal mucosa,

Glacial Imprints and Marine Overprints: Sediment Architecture and Fjord Evolution in Fiordland, New Zealand

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Fjords are globally significant sedimentary archives that record the relationship between glacial, tectonic, and marine processes. Fiordland, on the southwest coast of New Zealand, hosts one of the most extensive temperate fjord provinces in the Southern Hemisphere, yet its postglacial evolution has remained poorly constrained.

Environmental factors associated with nesting habits and age shape the composition and connection between skin and uropygial gland microbiomes of birds

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1435-1452, August 2026.
This study provides new insights into how ecological conditions influence the evolution of host‐associated symbiotic communities and their functional roles. The findings suggest that pathogen pressures linked to nesting habits in birds shape bacterial communities of the uropygial gland, and their connection with the skin microbiome, where the ...
