Seasonal effects of farmer‐managed livestock grazing exclusions on bird communities in Burkina Faso
Ecological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 8, December 2025.Abstract Anthropogenic activities such as livestock grazing and deforestation are primary causes of land degradation in drylands such as the Sahel Zone of Africa, threatening the livelihoods of rural communities and biodiversity. To restore degraded habitats, measures such as farmer‐managed livestock grazing exclusion, where the native vegetation is ...

Modelling connectivity at a regional scale during seasonal movements of the greater horseshoe bat
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 2163-2176, September 2025.Studying pathways during high mobility periods is one of the main missing elements for effective conservation, particularly for small species such as bats. An acoustic, stratified sampling at both local and large scale provided sufficient spatial and temporal accuracy to model connectivity throughout the life cycle of bats. This framework can easily be

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 6, Page 1437-1448, June 2025.Data from automatic detection systems are a promising non‐invasive approach that requires few human and logistical resources to develop a more comprehensive bird collision risk mitigation strategy. They can be valuable to biodiversity stakeholders to highlight environmental factors that locally increase bird exposure and sensitivity, to avoid ...

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.Abstract Several species of Lepidoptera with caterpillars bearing urticating hairs are increasing their range in metropolitan France from year to year, such as the pine processionary (Thaumetopoea pityocampa Denis et Schiffermüller 1775) whose presence was historically limited to the south of France, and which is gradually being observed in the north ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 9, Page 2231-2243, September 2024.This work is likely the first quantitative approach of bird harvest sustainability in Africa. It should contribute to fill a methodological and an information gap in the strategic planification of several multilateral environmental agreements like the African‐Eurasian Waterbird Agreement and the Ramsar Convention.

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 93, Issue 4, Page 377-392, April 2024.Using 43 years of community‐science data, the authors found significant changes in the fall migration phenology for 12/15 waterfowl species, with most species shifting migration later in the season. When and where climate was correlated with phenological shifts differed among species, highlighting the importance of scale in climate research.

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 2, March–April 2024.Using metabarcoding, we analyze the diet of the European turtle dove (Streptopelia turtur) in different sites, both breeding and wintering. We identified a diverse range of taxa in the diet and little overlap in the food consumed in breeding and wintering grounds. The roles of wild and cultivated food in the diet and implications for species management

Wildlife corridor degradation and human‐wildlife conflict: A case study from Tanzania
African Journal of Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2024.Abstract In many African countries, anthropogenic pressure and poor governance have led to the degradation of wildlife corridors, which are important for the long‐term viability of wildlife populations. Yet the nature of such degradation is poorly understood, hindering our ability to reverse these trends.

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 2, February 2024.We evaluated 20‐year occupancy trends of coastal waterbirds wintering inside and outside protected areas (PAs) along Canada's Pacific coast. Occupancy declines were the greatest in older PAs concentrated at lower latitudes, with cold‐tolerant, migratory benthivores and piscivores shifting farther north or to cold‐water fjords.
