Ibis, EarlyView.Understanding the distribution of species is central to conservation biology. Species distribution modelling (SDM) is a standard method used for this purpose, especially for elusive species for which limited occurrence data exist. The Eurasian Woodcock Scolopax rusticola (hereafter Woodcock) is an elusive, woodland‐dwelling wader that is declining in ...

Threatened cockatoo adapts foraging strategy to survive habitat loss from fire
Ibis, EarlyView.Fire regimes are changing across the globe as a result of human‐induced climate change. For granivorous bird species, changes in fire regimes can affect seed availability and the persistence of populations. We investigated the foraging behaviour of Glossy Black Cockatoos Calyptorhynchus lathami halmaturinus, a resource specialist, following large‐scale

A protracted phenology: Post‐diapause larval development of a threatened butterfly
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Larval survival during diapause was high; hibernaculum webs were mostly located near Succisa pratensis plants, which often retained vital leaves through winter. Post‐diapause developmental time varied strongly depending on exposure to different microclimates, being reduced by litter cover, solar radiation and a higher heat load index.

Diet breadth shapes gut microbiota in the invasive hornet Vespa velutina
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Dietary and microbial profiles of V. velutina larvae are dominated by Apidae and Firmicutes, respectively. DNA metabarcoding of larval meconium and gut samples reveals a significant positive correlation between prey richness and bacterial diversity in the invasive hornet V. velutina. Multiple significant correlations exist between dietary and microbial

Fish welfare in a changing world: New developments and current challenges
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The welfare of non‐human animals is central to ethical discussions on animal use, with increasing attention to fish welfare across research, aquaria, aquaculture, and fisheries. This paper reviews current theoretical approaches to animal welfare and recent advances in defining and assessing fish welfare since the seminal paper by Huntingford ...
