Beyond Species Diversity: Functional Approaches Reveal Consistent Fauna Community Responses to Exotic Grass Invasion in Arid Lands

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
To assess whether the impacts of exotic plant invasion can be generalised across taxa, we developed a conceptual framework predicting faunal responses to grass invasion in open, arid ecosystems and tested our predictions using data on birds, reptiles and ants from sites invaded by buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) and paired uninvaded sites.

First Record of Dark‐sided Flycatcher (Muscicapa sibirica) for Temperate North America: Intercontinental Vagrancy and Migratory Misorientation

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We document the extraordinary occurrence of a Dark‐sided Flycatcher (Muscicapa sibirica)—a migratory passerine from East Asia—in California, USA. We discuss the little‐known phenomenon of intercontinental vagrancy in migratory landbirds and examine this case study in detail, providing analysis of the age, molt status, subspecies, and likely origins of ...

Storm events will simultaneously reduce foraging opportunities and affect movements of Red Knots (Calidris canutus) in the intertidal Wadden Sea

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 2, Page 633-648, April 2026.
Intertidal systems provide important wintering areas for migratory shorebirds, where they can both forage and roost. In the light of climate change, extreme wind speeds are predicted to occur more frequently in northwestern Europe and pose a threat to shorebirds.

Mitogenomic and Metabarcoding Resources for the Study and Conservation of Keystone Neotropical Raptors

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We characterized complete mitochondrial genomes for nine keystone Neotropical raptors, including four threatened and five near‐threatened species, providing essential resources for phylogenetic and conservation studies. We also developed metabarcoding primers, enabling non‐invasive monitoring of Neotropical raptors via environmental DNA.

Balancing moult, migration, and breeding in a long‐lived partially migrant raptor

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
Moult, breeding, and migration are the three major life‐history events in the annual cycle of birds. All are energetically demanding processes that rarely overlap. In large raptors such as the Egyptian vulture Neophron percnopterus, completing a full moult may take more than one year, requiring birds to balance this process with other life‐cycle events.
