Small dietary changes yield growth benefits in lesser black‐backed gull chicks
Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.Global environmental changes alter the availability and predictability of marine resources, forcing marine predators to adapt their diets and foraging strategies. Lesser black‐backed gulls Larus fuscus exhibit individual differences in foraging consistency within and across years, which could influence reproductive success.

Effects of Agricultural Practices on Biodiversity: A Review
Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT The loss of biodiversity has become a major concern in the 21st century. The current agricultural model is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss; however, agriculture can also help maintain and even promote biodiversity. Therefore, the understanding of the consequences of agricultural practices on the different compartments of ...

Seasonal variation in wild pig (Sus scrofa) diet revealed by DNA metabarcoding
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.Using DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, we investigated the diet of wild pigs at an extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem within Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arkansas. We found that wild pig diet was highly diverse and included at least 74 plant families and 106 genera and 23 species of vertebrates.
