New host records of chewing lice (Mallophaga) on birds in Florida 3 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Here, I report some new county and Florida host records as well as two new U.S. host records for avian lice. County records for avian lice are less significant than the host records themselves.

Drought‐driven foraging adjustments in breeding white storks Ciconia ciconia: GPS tracking insights from two French marshes

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
In the context of climate change, the increasing frequency of severe meteorological events, such as floods or droughts, is expected to impact various life history traits in organisms, primarily by altering the availability and quality of their trophic resources.

Factors affecting breeding status of wading birds in the Everglades. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
This goals of this research and monitoring effort are to document nesting effort and roughly categorize success of nesting by wading birds in the central Everglades of Florida, and to investigate the causes of nonbreeding in a high proportion of the ...

Monitoring faunal responses to biodegradable oyster reef restoration materials with camera traps in a subtropical estuary

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 8, November 2025.
Oyster reef restoration has become increasingly crucial due to global population declines. Intertidal oyster reefs provide essential foraging and loafing (resting) grounds to estuarine fauna. To reduce plastic pollution from traditional materials, biodegradable restoration materials have been introduced and are shown to support oyster recruitment ...

Climate change indirectly reduces breeding frequency of a mobile species through changes in food availability

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 10, Issue 4, April 2019., 2019
Abstract Trends of environmental change are influencing the behavior of many species across the world, while highly mobile species are disproportionately impacted by climate change and human modification. Here, we investigate the mechanisms behind climate change effects on the reproductive traits of highly mobile, West Australian bird taxa, the forest ...

Near real‐time monitoring of wading birds using uncrewed aircraft systems and computer vision

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 11, Issue 3, Page 255-265, June 2025.
Developments in aerial survey methods and computer vision models allow for wildlife population monitoring over large areas. A key limitation to these approaches for active monitoring is the slow process of converting imagery into data. Near real‐time monitoring is crucial for management decisions and ecological forecasting.

Accounting for imperfect detection of groups and individuals when estimating abundance

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 7, Issue 18, Page 7304-7310, September 2017., 2017
We introduce an abundance estimator for grouped animals when detection of groups is imperfect and group size may be under‐counted. Using a second observation of group size, this estimator significantly reduces bias and increases coverage, relative to a mark‐recapture‐distance‐sampling model. Abstract If animals are independently detected during surveys,

Factors affecting breeding status of wading birds in the Everglades. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
This comprehensive final report summarizes the results of a four-year research and monitoring effort (1998 - 2001) designed to document nesting effort and success by wading birds, and to investigate the reproductive physiology and ecology of White ...

Monitoring and Research on Wading Birds in the Water Conservation Areas ofthe Everglades: The 1996 Nesting season [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
This project was initiated to continue monitoring reproductive responses of wading birds in the central Everglades, and to investigate two areas of research considered key to understanding and managing wading birds: nestling energetics, and factors ...

Upwash exploitation and downwash avoidance by flap phasing in ibis formation flight [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Many species travel in highly organized groups. The most quoted function of these configurations is to reduce energy expenditure and enhance locomotor performance of individuals in the assemblage.
