Herons in Aquafarms Are More Fearful of Humans [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Herons (Ardeidae), an important group in wetland ecosystems, have a particularly strong relationship with humans. However, their predation on farmed fish and shrimp in aquafarms can lead to economic losses for local fish farmers.

Flyway-Scale Assessment of Habitat Suitability and Key Environmental Drivers for Waterbirds in Southern China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study assessed the distribution of suitable habitats and ecological drivers for 47 waterbird species in eastern and southern China (south of the 800 mm isohyet), revealing a clear coastal‐to‐inland gradient, with NDVI and DEM identified as key environmental variables. Different ecological groups exhibited distinct habitat preferences.

Mangrove Habitats in Zhanjiang of South China: A Potentially High-Risk Environment for Breeding Birds. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Mangroves are important feeding and wintering grounds for many birds. However, we still know little about the risk of nest predation experienced by birds breeding in mangrove habitats. The nest predation rates were 100% for the experimental nests in mangroves within 7 days, with diverse predators. Birds breeding in Zhangjiang mangrove habitats of south

From Barns to Bushes: Exploring the ECOFF-Based Non-Wild-Type Status of Campylobacter spp. in Pets, Livestock, Synanthropic Birds and Wild Animals in Northwestern Italy. [PDF]

Zoonoses Public Health
ABSTRACT Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to both humans and animals. Zoonotic bacteria, such as Campylobacter, contribute to human infections and the spread of AMR, particularly through livestock, pets and wildlife. We investigated the prevalence, distribution and EUCAST ECOFF‐based wild‐type (WT) vs.
