Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Plumage coloration is widely recognized as an important component in intraspecific communication. Our aim was to examine the variation of oxidative parameters and their associations with the coloration of two different nestling plumage traits in collared flycatchers (Ficedula albicollis).

Chicken feather dissolution to obtain keratin
Abstract The dissolution of chicken feathers was investigated for the purpose of reducing solid waste and obtaining keratin. For the first part, the effects of sodium sulfite (0.05–0.3 M), urea (0–4 M), temperature (50–85 °C), and incubation time (2–4 h) on feather dissolution were investigated via a factorial design.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.We analysed over 100,000 migrating birds from 157 species to identify macroecological drivers of interspecific variation in louse fly prevalence. Using phylogenetically informed Bayesian models, we show that host morphology, ecology and biogeographic traits shape infection patterns, with Ornithomya avicularia and O.

Revisiting the predation paradox for the Wood Thrush, a declining Neotropical migrant
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Despite an increased density of mid‐trophic level predators in urban and suburban areas compared to rural areas, the survival of smaller prey animals, including the eggs and chicks of nesting songbirds, often remains relatively high in these areas.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Macaroni Penguins (Eudyptes chrysolophus) are abundant across sub‐Antarctic islands but occur only rarely in East Antarctica. Here, we report three concurrent extralimital records of Macaroni Penguins well south of their typical distribution during the austral summer of 2023–2024.

Changes in the gut microbiome during fasting‐induced molting and its effects on gut–liver function
iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.During fasting, harmful microbiota and metabolites rise, triggering intestinal injury and activation of the TGF‐β signaling pathway, which enhances intestinal stem cell proliferation. Concurrently, hepatic function declines, indicated by increased hepatic and serum bile acids and upregulation of the non‐classical bile acid synthesis pathway.

Exploring How Generative AI Reshapes Artistic Creativity
The Journal of Creative Behavior, Volume 60, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT This article presents an exploratory study on creativity, grounded in the premise that technologies enable individuals to externalize cognitive abilities, emotions, intentions, and actions. As both catalysts and outcomes of creative activity, technologies also serve as mediums for learning, artistic production, and communication.
