Avian Research, 2018 Background Water clarity may negatively influence rate of plunge diving and prey capture success of piscivorous plunge-diving birds, and therefore has implications for their conservation in polluted urban wetlands.

No Evidence That Nest Cover Shapes Incubation Schedules in a Mediterranean Shorebird Population
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.We investigated how nest cover is associated to incubation behaviour in a Mediterranean biparental population of Kentish Plovers using 24‐h video recordings from 24 nests with variable nest cover that ranged from fully open (0% coverage) to complete coverage (100%).

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.We determined that more isolated and possibly older nest boxes were selected by little penguins for breeding at Pōhatu/Flea Bay, New Zealand. However, breeding success was influenced by lay date in comparison to nest box characteristics. These findings inform immediate conservation recommendations regarding nest box design and placement.

Obesity Science &Practice, Volume 12, Issue 4, August 2026.Oral glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (semaglutide, orforglipron, danuglipron, lotiglipron) produced 5%–12% weight loss, reduced BMI and waist circumference, and increased the proportion achieving ≥ 5–15% weight loss versus placebo in adults with overweight or obesity without diabetes, highlighting oral GLP‐1 RAs as effective adjuncts to ...

Big Bird: A global dataset of birds in drone imagery annotated to species level
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 12, Issue 4, Page 629-644, August 2026.Drones are a valuable tool for surveying birds, but manually detecting and identifying birds in drone images is costly. We assembled a diverse dataset of 23 865 images of birds captured with 21 different drones across 11 countries. We labelled 4824 of these images, detailing the location, species, posture category, age category, and sex of 49 990 birds

Common Tern Optimization Algorithm
Swarm intelligence optimization algorithms typically solve complex optimization problems by simulating the cooperative behavior of groups of organisms in nature. However, most existing methods rely on instantaneous optimal information or direct positional guidance between individuals, making them prone to premature convergence in noisy environments or ...

Between‐species contagion drives HPAI transmission and mass mortality in seabirds
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1488-1503, August 2026.Modelling the unprecedented avian panzootic caused by High‐Pathogenicity Avian Influenza (HPAI) across the Northeast Atlantic gannet breeding metapopulation, we estimated 28% (95% CI: 21%–34%) HPAI‐related mortality. Large‐scale outbreak initiation was best explained by external infection sources, most likely, other seabird species.
