Geographical distribution of the Pinnated Bittern (Botaurus pinnatus): Update and seasonal movement pattern

Ibis, EarlyView.
The Pinnated Bittern Botaurus pinnatus (Ardeidae) is a widely distributed Neotropical wading bird whose distribution and seasonal status remain poorly resolved. Discrepancies among published literature, citizen science records and the range currently assumed by BirdLife International indicate that both its geographical distribution and migratory ...

Rates of climatic niche evolution are correlated with species richness in a large and ecologically diverse radiation of songbirds [PDF]

, 2015
By employing a recently inferred phylogeny and museum occurrence records, we examine the relationship of ecological niche evolution to diversification in the largest family of songbirds, the tanagers (Thraupidae).

Spatiotemporal and Environmental Completeness of eBird Data in Taiwan

Biodiversity Information Science and Standards
Recent developments in citizen science have significantly enhanced the public availability of biodiversity data (Chandler et al. 2017, Kelling et al. 2019). Associated open data platforms, such as eBird, have become the major data source supporting scientific research and biodiversity conservation (Tsai et al. 2021, Meehan et al.

The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1197-1234, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Reviewing and benchmarking ecological modelling practices in the context of land use

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Despite habitat loss and degradation are the primary drivers of biodiversity loss, different conclusions have been drawn about the importance of land‐use or land‐cover (LULC) change for biodiversity. Differences may be due to the difficulty of framing a coherent model design to assess LULC effects.

Effect distances of road traffic noise on wildlife behaviour: A soundscape mapping approach using bird habitat selection

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1141-1154, May 2026.
Abstract Road traffic noise is a pervasive environmental pollutant that negatively affects wildlife globally. Despite growing research, quantifying the spatial extent of noise impacts remains underdeveloped. Soundscape mapping from social sciences and engineering literature offers a useful yet rarely implemented tool to depict noise impact distances ...

Shifts in breeding phenology for Cassin’s Sparrow ( Peucaea cassinii ) over four decades

Journal of Field Ornithology
Cassin’s Sparrow ( Peucaea cassinii ) is an elusive resident of the southwestern United States, southern Great Plains, and northern Mexico. Despite long-standing interest, its breeding phenology is not well established. Using 40 years of eBird occurrence

Thresholding species distribution models: Simple approaches for land‐use planning in multifunctional landscapes

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1462-1479, May 2026.
Abstract Species distribution models (SDMs) are often used to understand changes to species' distributions and their habitats under different land‐use scenarios, enabling decision makers to prioritize areas for management efforts and balance environmental conservation with socio‐economic demands on the landscape.
