General practice veterinarians’ attitudes towards avian influenza: A COM‐B analysis of barriers to backyard poultry treatment

open access: yesVeterinary Record, Volume 198, Issue 6, Page e237-e247, 14/21 March 2026.
Abstract Background The recent expansion of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 to non‐avian species in the United States has intensified public health‐related concerns. In Great Britain, low veterinarian confidence in seeing and treating birds creates potential barriers to HPAI diagnosis and reporting.

A Multi‐Taxa Approach to Estuarine Biomonitoring: Assessing Vertebrate Biodiversity and Ecological Continuity Using Environmental DNA Metabarcoding in the Rance River (Brittany, France)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We applied eDNA metabarcoding to assess vertebrate diversity in the Rance Estuary, France, across five stations spanning marine to freshwater environments, including areas upstream and downstream of a tidal power plant dam. A total of 124 vertebrate MOTUs were detected, with community composition reflecting the estuarine gradient and species turnover ...

Host Exploitation by Cuckoos in China: A Review and Real‐Time Tracking Program for Parasitism Records

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 218-230, March 2026.
China is a global hotspot for cuckoo‐host diversity, with 17 cuckoo species, exploiting 142 host species. We reveal adaptive matching in body size and egg traits, along with niche partitioning among cuckoos, while identifying eight new host species.

Factors affecting the diet of Peregrine Falcon in Italy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The diet of top predators can provide useful information on phenology and abundance of their prey. The cosmopolitan and specialist Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) is an ideal model to assess whether food changes have occurred in the long-term.

Detection and succession properties of forested vernal pools with eDNA metabarcoding

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
We examined the capacity of environmental DNA metabarcoding for studying biodiversity of forested vernal pools, using multiple assays to investigate different eukaryotic communities over space and time. Our results suggest that metabarcoding can serve as a complementary tool for ‘scaling up’ vernal pool biodiversity monitoring, illuminating ecological ...

Beyond Scatter-Hoarding and Frugivory: European Corvids as Overlooked Vectors for a Broad Range of Plants

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
It is well-known that some members of the crow family (Corvidae) are important for seed dispersal either via frugivory (e.g., when feeding on berries) or by scatter hoarding (e.g., of nuts). Dispersal via gut passage of seeds within a fleshy fruit can be

Filogenia y evolución de la conducta en los ictéridos [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The evolution of selected behavioral characteristics in the family Icteridae is discussed in the light of the new DNA phylogeny. The woven pensile nest is found in only two of the main icterid clades, the caciques plus oropendolas (Cacicus and ...

Moult Seasons of the British Corvidae [PDF]

open access: yesBird Study, 1974
This description of the annual post-nuptial moult among British crows shows that one-year-old Magpies and Carrion Crows begin ahead of the adults, and that the timetable is different in these two species.
