Does eBird Contribute to Environmental Citizenship? A Discourse Analysis

Citizen Science: Theory and Practice
This article explores to what extent existing environmental citizen science projects contribute to environmental citizenship. Specifically, we ask what kind of environmental citizenship does eBird—one of the world’s largest environmental citizen science ...

Evaluating the use of taxonomy in the IUCN Red List

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Taxonomy defines the units that conservationists strive to preserve for future generations. However, the discovery of new species and the taxonomic revision of existing species affect conservation efforts. Despite the importance of taxonomy for a species’ conservation, there is currently no overview of how those leading species extinction risk

To release or not to release? A call for caution when considering wildlife reintroductions

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Conservation efforts often focus on flagship species and short‐term measures such as captive breeding and reintroductions, yet these approaches may benefit from being complemented with a broader view of the factors that influence long‐term recovery. Using examples from management programs in the Iberian Peninsula, we highlight the value of considering ...

Linking eBird data with high spatiotemporal remote sensing products to estimate occupancy of bird populations across the island of Ireland

Ibis, EarlyView.
The vast increase in biodiversity data generated through citizen science initiatives, alongside a growing suite of remote sensing products and advanced modelling tools, has opened new avenues for rapidly, accurately and efficiently monitoring species trends to inform conservation, management and policy.

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 ...

Systematic differences in phenology estimates from unstructured and structured biodiversity datasets

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Unstructured and structured butterfly records produced similar estimates of temporal trends in phenology. Unstructured records showed earlier mean flight dates, earlier onsets and later ends, resulting in longer inferred flight periods. Systematic differences likely reflect sampling approaches and recorder behaviour rather than sample size alone ...

Contrasting mechanisms driving the northward expansion of African raptors in Europe

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Recent climate warming and landscape changes are enabling African raptors to reach Europe through contrasting mechanisms. Using species distribution models, we show that the Atlas Long‐legged Buzzard expands northward following climatic suitability, whereas African vultures reach Europe despite low climatic favourability through socially mediated ...

Determining the Environmental and Ecological Factors Associated With Poultry Farm Spillover of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (H5N1) in British Columbia, Canada

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1, clade 2.3.4.4b is a global threat causing widespread outbreaks on poultry farms and high mortality among wild bird populations in Canada. Wild aquatic birds are generally recognised as key reservoir hosts for avian influenza viruses (AIV's).

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

Landowner Perceptions of Heronry Conservation in Human‐Dominated Wetlands of Bangladesh

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Heronries—tree‐nesting waterbird colonies—face growing threats in Bangladesh's shared wetland landscapes, where landowner tolerance is the proximate determinant of colony persistence. Through focus group discussions at 235 heronry sites with 2555 participants, we found tolerance to be high but multifactorial, driven by ethical concern, environmental ...
