Monitoring faunal responses to biodegradable oyster reef restoration materials with camera traps in a subtropical estuary

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 8, November 2025.
Oyster reef restoration has become increasingly crucial due to global population declines. Intertidal oyster reefs provide essential foraging and loafing (resting) grounds to estuarine fauna. To reduce plastic pollution from traditional materials, biodegradable restoration materials have been introduced and are shown to support oyster recruitment ...

Climate and en route thermals affect long‐term population dynamics of soaring birds

Population Ecology, Volume 67, Issue 4, Page 336-348, October 2025.
The effects of seasonal climate on migrant survival are important for migration ecology. We estimated the survival of American White Pelicans and examined the impacts of climate and wind (a–d). We found that increases in winter precipitation enhanced the annual survival rates of yearlings and adults (b and c).

Marine Bird Bycatch in Alaska Salmon Gillnet Fisheries

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 366-387, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Incidental catch in gillnet fisheries has a substantial conservation impact on marine diving birds. We synthesized available marine bird bycatch data from Alaska salmon gillnet fisheries to estimate standardized bycatch rates, model factors influencing bycatch rates, and estimate total bycatch.

Avian influenza overview June–September 2025

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Between 7 June and 5 September 2025, 183 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus detections were reported in domestic (27) and wild (156) birds across 15 countries in Europe. Although HPAI A(H5N1) virus detections were predominant in western and southwestern Europe, they also occurred on the northernmost coast of Norway. More than

Arctic post-polynya supports a seabird biodiversity hotspot

Arctic Science
Climate change is drastically altering habitats and biodiversity in Northern Canada, threatening Inuit food security and traditional lifestyles. Monitoring these sensitive ecosystems will help track spatiotemporal impacts of environmental constraints. We

Observations of Nocturnal Foraging in the Double-Crested Cormorant

Colonial Waterbirds, 1998
-Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocwax auritusj are normally considered a diurnal species. Here we describe cormorants foraging nocturnally in an oxbow lake in Mississippi. We have observed this behavior only once during 30 capture attempts over seven years. Received 22 October 1997, accepted 3 March 1998.

Hi-C Metagenome Deconvolution of Double-Crested Cormorant (Nannopterum auritum) Fecal Samples Demonstrates Feasibility of Linking Microbial Genomes, AMR Genes, and Mobile Elements in Avian Microbiomes

Microorganisms
The double-crested cormorant (Nannopterum auritum), a piscivorous bird endemic to North America, frequently forages in aquaculture ponds during migration and wintering, contributing to economic losses in catfish-producing regions of the southern United ...
