Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.White patches of male capercaillie tails vary greatly in coverage and symmetry, but the amount of white or the symmetry of the patches was not associated with mate choice. Female choice does not appear to be based on the white patterns on the tail. Highly visible at dawn, the patches may instead facilitate individual identification.

Environmental Drivers on Blue Tit Nest Microbiome: An Experimental Study
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.Elevated humidity and temperature altered nest microbial composition and its associations with parasitism and nestling condition. These findings identify nest microclimate as an important driver of nest microbiomes with consequences for avian development.

Wing feather mites (Acari: Astigmata) on some passeriformes (aves) from state of paraná, Brazil [PDF]
, 2015 Feather mites are the most abundant arthropods found on birds, however, few studies have investigated their ecological associations with their hosts in Brazil. Here, we present a checklist of feather mites on 11 bird species from forest patches of Paraná

Thermal Stress Has Size‐Dependent but Not Sex‐Specific Effects on Mortality in an Insect Model
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of heatwaves, posing a major risk to animal populations. We exposed male and female burying beetles of a wide range of body sizes to a simulated heatwave and found that heat stress increased mortality. Smaller individuals were especially vulnerable, but mortality did not differ between the sexes.

Cotton facilitates long‐distance seed dispersal by functioning as nest material for birds
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.Cotton (Cossypium) fibres, which grow naturally in bolls around the seeds of cotton plants, have been used for centuries to produce fabric. The presumed natural function of cotton is that these lightweight and fluffy fibres may support wind dispersal of the seeds inside.

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2020 Comparative studies of parasites in sympatric bird species have been generally scarce. Parasitic infection/transmission can be spread in a number of ways that suggests possible direct and indirect, horizontal transmission between avian hosts. In order to

ROBERT WALSER'S ‘BLEISTIFTWEG’: POETICS OF ATTENTION AS CRAFT
German Life and Letters, Volume 79, Issue 3, Page 323-336, July 2026.ABSTRACT This article examines Robert Walser's entry into what he called his ‘Bleistiftgebiet’ in the early 1920s, when in response to a profound crisis as a writer he began to produce manuscripts in minuscule size, the so‐called ‘Mikrogramme’ (microscripts). Intertwining the analysis of the short prose form with Walser's reflections on the short‐lived
