Matching Multiple Backgrounds: Egg Camouflage Across Different Habitats in a Shorebird
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.We studied egg camouflage in Kentish plovers nesting in two visually distinct habitats, sandy beaches and salt marshes, in southern Spain. Despite initial expectations of local adaptation or compromise camouflage, the birds instead chose nest sites within each habitat that shared overlapping colour and visual texture characteristics, allowing effective

Assessment of long-range correlation in animal behaviour time series: the temporal pattern of locomotor activity of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix) and mosquito larva (Culex quinquefasciatus) [PDF]
, 2013 The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of a classical method of fractal analysis, Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA), in the analysis of the dynamics of animal behavior time series. In order to correctly use DFA to assess the presence of

Birds Decorating Their Nests With Plastic May Suffer Less Egg Depredation by Corvids
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Many birds add anthropogenic material to the nest. We presented artificial nests on the ground in spring, each with two quail eggs and half of them decorated with pieces of white plastic. The plastic induced a neophobic response in territorial European magpies, reducing the rate of nest predation.

A Ground Surface Rolling Method for Detecting Environmental DNA of Terrestrial Animals
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.The Koro‐rin sampler enables surface‐based eDNA detection of terrestrial animals. This approach captured a broad range of bird and mammal taxa, including small and cryptic species, and revealed seasonal patterns in animal presence, complementing conventional monitoring methods.
