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 ...

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.

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 ...

Using customs data to understand overlooked trade in non‐CITES birds between Africa and Asia

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The international trade in live birds poses risks to animals, people, and biodiversity. To effectively mitigate these risks, decision‐makers require information on the volume, dynamics, and direction of trade. Despite Africa once being the largest exporter of birds by region, very little data exist on recent trade in live birds not listed on ...

Improving the use of expert opinion in disease risk analysis for conservation translocations

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Conservation translocations are subject to considerable uncertainty and risk, of which disease is one of the most recognized. To address disease risks, several protocols for qualitative disease risk analysis (qDRA) exist and are used for responsible conservation translocation planning.

Palatal violence: Sonic gatekeeping and enemy‐making in wartime Ukraine

Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 36, Issue 2, August 2026.
Abstract Within 2 days of Russia's full‐scale invasion of Ukraine, a single word—palianytsia, a Ukrainian round loaf—became a phonetic test separating Ukrainians from Russians. The article traces how a culinary term was enregistered as a wartime shibboleth that structurally marks the very citizens it was meant to protect as enemies.

Attraction of nocturnal scarab beetles by unusual floral volatiles in a Banksia (Proteaceae) with functionally diverse pollinators

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1454-1466, August 2026.
Banksia attenuata (Proteaceae) attracts nocturnal scarab beetles with an unusual floral scent—the beetles pollinate the flower as they feed on pollen and nectar and mate on the inflorescences. Abstract Pollination by beetles has evolved multiple times in flowering plants but with relatively few plant species adapted specifically to pollination by ...
