A new species of jewel‐babbler (Cinclosomatidae: Ptilorrhoa) from the Southern Fold Mountains of Papua New Guinea

Ibis, EarlyView.
Based on distinctive morphological and vocal characters we describe a new species of jewel‐babbler (genus Ptilorrhoa) from the forested karst of the Southern Fold Mountains in Papua New Guinea. The description is based on camera trap data and is presented in accordance with ICZN Declaration 45.

Not everyone is shrinking: increases in body mass and wing length in a Sand Martin (Riparia riparia) population in northwestern Italy over two decades

Ibis, EarlyView.
In recent decades, vertebrates, particularly birds, have exhibited notable morphological changes in response to climate change. In birds, these temporal trends usually entail a decrease in body mass and an increase in wing length, sometimes interpreted as a compensatory strategy to maintain migration.

Reproductive consequences of mate retention and divorce in a short‐lived migratory passerine

Ibis, EarlyView.
In socially monogamous birds, pair‐bond duration varies across species, from single‐breeding associations to long‐lasting, multi‐year bonds. Studies of pair retention and divorce have focused on long‐lived and sedentary species rather than short‐lived and migratory species.

Social media highlights the overlooked impact of cats on arthropods

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
The impact of domestic cats on vertebrate biodiversity is unequivocal; however, we still know little about their effects on arthropods. By analysing over 17,000 photos and videos from social media platforms (iStock and TikTok), we documented 550 predation events of cats on arthropods.
