Ecovoltaic solar energy development can promote grassland bird communities

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 12, Page 3341-3354, December 2025.
Our findings suggest that properly sited and developed ecovoltaic solar facilities in human altered landscapes can improve habitat for birds and other wildlife, but further research is needed to understand which species may benefit most from these novel ecosystems.

Helminths and the northern bobwhite population decline: A review

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016
Long‐term data from the Breeding Bird Survey and Christmas Bird Count indicate that northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus; hereafter, bobwhite) populations have declined since 1961 in all but 1 of the 31 states they occupy within the United States. This

A global review of the conservation status of true quails (Families Odontophoridae and Phasianidae)

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.
Understanding the conservation status of species is imperative to stem global declines. To better inform conservation, we summarized the global conservation status of New World (Family Odontophoridae) and Old World (Family Phasianidae) true quail species.

Does haemosporidian infection affect hematological and biochemical profiles of the endangered Black-fronted piping-guan (Aburria jacutinga)? [PDF]

, 2013
Infectious diseases can cause deleterious effects on bird species, leading to population decline and extinction. Haemosporidia can be recognized by their negative effects on host fitness, including reproductive success and immune responses. In captivity,

Tree cover limits occupancy of a declining game bird

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.
Open forest ecosystems are considered one of the most imperiled ecosystems in North America and many associated avian species are experiencing population declines. Management at large and impactful scales is challenging on private lands due to fragmentation and resource limitations, but public lands are often larger in scale and offer opportunities for

Effects of broadcasting calls during surveys to estimate density and occupancy of northern bobwhite

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012
We assessed the effects of using a broadcast caller during surveys and increasing survey duration to estimate northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) density and occupancy.

Predator activity, proactive anti‐predator strategies and nesting phenology produce a dynamic landscape of risk to tundra goose reproduction

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 11, Page 2282-2294, November 2025.
We show that Arctic and red fox space use significantly affects goose nest habitat selection and nest success in a low‐Arctic tundra ecosystem. However, the impact of fox predation depended on the location and timing of incubation of the nest, demonstrating the importance of incorporating time into the ‘landscape of fear’ concept.

Detection of Modality-Specific Properties in Unimodal and Bimodal Events during Prenatal Development [PDF]

, 2010
Predictions of the Intersensory Redundancy Hypothesis (IRH) state that early in development information presented to a single sense modality (unimodal) selectively recruits attention to and enhances perceptual learning of modality-specific properties of ...

Application of passive acoustic monitoring to compare avian populations in perennial grasslands and croplands in Nebraska

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
Using passive acoustic monitoring, researchers in Nebraska found that perennial grasslands support greater species richness of grassland obligates and at‐risk birds than croplands throughout most of the migration and breeding season. Abstract Perennial grasses, such as switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), have emerged as a promising and reliable feedstock ...
