Threshold Responses of Bird Communities to Human Footprint: Testing the Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis and Implications for Biodiversity Conservation

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Human activities, quantified by the Human Footprint Index (HFP), drive biodiversity declines, with birds serving as sensitive indicators of ecosystem health. In northeastern Inner Mongolia, Threshold Indicator Taxa Analysis (TITAN) identified a community composition shift at HFP ≈ 14, with species‐specific thresholds ranging from 3.37 to 43.22 ...

Environmental influences on development of aflatoxins in supplemental feed for wildlife

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.
Millions of people provide grains as supplemental feed for wildlife. Environmental conditions can lead to those grains developing deleterious concentrations of aflatoxins from naturally occurring Aspergillus fungi. We studied aflatoxin development in grains under controlled conditions to provide best practices to minimize the risk of aflatoxin exposure

Effects of Anthropogenic Introduction of Substrates on Egg Camouflage and Nesting Success in Ground‐Nesting Birds

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 792-802, December 2025.
We show that the introduction of artificial substrates, in this case, dredged materials to act as nesting substrate for ground‐nesting birds, reduced the effectiveness of egg camouflage for Kentish plovers compared to natural substrates. However, nesting success was not impacted, likely because the community of nest predators was diverse and used a ...

Does restocking with Japanese quail or hybrids affect native populations of common quail Coturnix coturnix?

open access: yes, 2017
Natural populations of the common quail Coturnix coturnix may hybridize in the wild with non-native individuals (Japanese quail Coturnix japonica or hybrids) as a result of restocking for hunting purposes.
