Environmental Drivers on Blue Tit Nest Microbiome: An Experimental Study
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.Elevated humidity and temperature altered nest microbial composition and its associations with parasitism and nestling condition. These findings identify nest microclimate as an important driver of nest microbiomes with consequences for avian development.

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.A survey of 263 birds across 10 species in Semnan Province, Iran, revealed a 22.1% prevalence of avian haemosporidian infections, dominated by Haemoproteus spp. Pigeons showed significantly higher infection risk. Spatial analysis identified clustering in Shahroud County, suggesting local climatic and ecological conditions influence parasite ...
