Moonlight Duration and Intensity Favour Nocturnal Activity in a Diurnal Desert Bird

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 629-641, September 2026.
Accelerometer data show that Canarian houbara bustards increase nocturnal activity two‐ to fivefold when the moon is visible, with activity rising as moonlit duration and illumination increase. Both display and non‐display behaviours peaked around full moon, reaching up to half of peak daytime levels, with males increasing visual displays during ...

Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1760-1778, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Troodontidae is a clade of small‐to medium‐sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...

Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1779-1792, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

Ghost in the Prairie: Using Community Science and MaxEnt to Model the Habitat of a Rare Mesopredator

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Swift foxes (Vulpes velox) have experienced severe range declines in Texas, making identification of suitable habitat critical for conservation and potential reintroduction efforts. We used maximum entropy modeling with community science data from iNaturalist and remotely sensed environmental variables to predict the potential distribution of swift ...
