Assessing responses of reef island seabirds to environmental and anthropogenic drivers
Abstract Tropical insular ecosystems face escalating, cumulative impacts of land‐ and sea‐based ecological threats that jeopardize the long‐term sustainability of their native communities. This joint vulnerability is epitomized by reef island seabirds, which are exposed to reef decline and coastal erosion driven by climate change, reduction in prey ...

Vine proliferation is a widespread consequence of tropical forest disturbance, yet its effects on ground‐level predator–prey interactions remain poorly understood. Using plasticine caterpillars deployed on the rainforest floor in north Queensland, Australia, we show that overall predation rates were unaffected by vine‐to‐tree ratio. Instead, fine‐scale

Threatened cockatoo adapts foraging strategy to survive habitat loss from fire
Fire regimes are changing across the globe as a result of human‐induced climate change. For granivorous bird species, changes in fire regimes can affect seed availability and the persistence of populations. We investigated the foraging behaviour of Glossy Black Cockatoos Calyptorhynchus lathami halmaturinus, a resource specialist, following large‐scale

Detailed knowledge about bird migration patterns can enhance our understanding of the evolution of migration and temporal changes in space use throughout the annual cycle. Additionally, as many migratory bird species are experiencing population declines, understanding the connectivity between their spatial distributions during breeding, migration and ...

Monitoring ground-nesting seabirds in the Canadian Arctic: the Nasaruvaalik Island Field Station
The Nasaruvaalik Island field station in the high Arctic was established to facilitate research and monitoring on rare seabird species, largely to meet regulatory obligations defined in Canada's Species At Risk Act.

ABSTRACT Frameshift mutations in exon 12 of nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1 mut) are among the most common mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and have historically been considered favorable‐risk in the absence of FLT3‐ITD. In the European LeukemiaNet (ELN) 2024 risk‐classification for patients treated with hypomethylating agents plus venetoclax (HMA + VEN)

This study examines how common moorhens balance foraging and predator detection through their visual field configuration. It finds they have a narrow but vertically elongated binocular field for precise feeding, alongside near‐panoramic monocular vision for wide environmental awareness.

Effects of oiling common raven nests on ravens and greater sage‐grouse in sagebrush ecosystems
We oiled and sham‐oiled raven nests across 7 sites in the Great Basin to measure the effects of egg‐oiling on co‐occurring populations of ravens and sage‐grouse. Oiling raven eggs ended embryonic development of oiled eggs, reduced raven densities, resulted in more than a doubling of nest‐survival probabilities of sage‐grouse nests, and spurred ...

Decadal banding efforts pay off: Assessing Chinese Crested Tern conservation through resighting data
The critically endangered Chinese Crested Tern (Thalasseus bernsteini, CCT) and its common flocking companion, the Greater Crested Tern (Thalasseus bergii, GCT), have been the focus of targeted recovery efforts in the Jiushan Archipelago of Zhejiang ...
