Geographic variation in walking activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, Volume 67, Issue 4, Page 379-388, October 2025.
This study examined whether there is geographic variation in field populations, focusing on the moving activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. Results showed significant differences in moving activity among field populations but no correlation with latitude or meteorological factors.

Past research and future directions in understanding how birds use their sense of smell

open access: yesIbis, Volume 167, Issue 4, Page 853-881, October 2025.
Our understanding of the functional importance of olfaction to birds has improved over the past 60 years, largely as the result of experimental studies testing how birds use their sense of smell in different contexts. As it is impossible to measure directly which odours birds can detect, we rely on measuring behavioural responses to scent cues or ...

Applications of Laparoscopic Techniques in Wildlife 腹腔镜技术在野生动物中的应用

open access: yesWildlife Letters, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 124-137, September 2025.
In wildlife conservation, we have compiled the applications of laparoscopy, summarized into four areas. First, laparoscopy provides a reliable protocol for sex identification in wild species lacking apparent sexual dimorphism. Second, reproductive management with the involvement of laparoscopy is instrumental in maintaining and restoring species ...

Space Use in Cinereous Vultures (Aegypius monachus): The Role of Artificial Feeding

open access: yesDiversity
The factors affecting vultures’ space use can be complex, but food availability is often considered the primary determinant. However, when vultures’ food resources become highly predictable, their role in movement ecology has been little studied ...

Changes in abundance and distribution of European forest bird populations depend on biome, ecological specialisation and traits

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 7, July 2025.
Forest bird abundance in Europe has remained stable overall, unlike farmland species which have declined dramatically in recent decades. However, this apparent stability may hide large variations among species and geographical regions. We aimed to determine if forest bird species with varying life histories and biome distributions show different ...

Unraveling Plastic Pollution in Protected Terrestrial Raptors Using Regurgitated Pellets

open access: yesMicroplastics
The threat of plastic pollution has escalated to unprecedented levels, with particular concern surrounding microplastics (MPs) and artificial fibers or particles (AFs) due to their wide distribution across ecosystems and their bioavailability to wildlife.
