Reimagining State Aid: Guiding Law and Policy Reform in a Changing World

open access: yesEuropean Law Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT EU state aid law has shifted fundamentally from an originally purely repressive tool to a proactive steering mechanism for critical EU goals today. This paper argues that the current legal framework in Article 107 TFEU is gravely misaligned with this new function.

Birth of a Mother Without Giving Birth: Experiences of Non‐Biological Mothers in Lesbian Families

open access: yesFamily Relations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To explore the lived experience of non‐biological mothers in lesbian families and the meaning they attribute to the maternal experience in the absence of a biological connection. Background Non‐biological mothers in lesbian planned families construct maternal identity without pregnancy, childbirth, or genetic ties.

Continued population recovery and high annual survival rates of White‐rumped Vultures in Nepal

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Populations of Gyps vultures in South Asia underwent catastrophic declines caused by unintentional poisoning by the veterinary drug diclofenac. Since the drug was banned in 2006–2010, declines have halted across the region, including in Nepal. The present study updates population trends of G.

Post-fledging Behavior of Western Screech-Owls in Idaho

open access: yes, 2016
Although common in western North America, the ecology of Western Screech-Owls (Megascops kennicottii) is poorly studied. For many birds, the post-fledging period is also poorly understood because of the difficulty of tracking newly fledged young.

Variation in forest area influences post‐fledging development and dispersal onset in the Eurasian Goshawk (Astur gentilis)

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Natal dispersal is a key ecological process influencing gene flow, population connectivity and individual fitness. In altricial birds, the transition from fledging to natal dispersal is mediated by the post‐fledging dependence period, which is often difficult to observe in elusive, forest‐dwelling species.

A systematic review and meta‐analysis of variation in nest predation of ground‐nesting birds

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Predation and communities of predators of ground‐nesting bird nests and fledglings have been studied across multiple groups of ground‐nesting birds, such as waders, waterbirds, gamebirds and passerines, and habitats, but differences and similarities between groups are less studied.

Trans‐oceanic migration and wind utilization by Amur Falcons (Falco amurensis)

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
The Amur Falcon Falco amurensis performs one of the world's longest raptor migrations, involving a non‐stop crossing of the Indian Ocean of approximately 2800 km. While the existence of this route is known, the mechanistic details of wind exploitation and seasonal navigation remain to be fully elucidated.

Dietary selectivity mediates niche overlap and interspecific competition in a reedbed warbler community in southern Europe

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Sympatric species are expected to use resources differently along one or more ecological dimensions. This can be complex when there is partial separation along multiple dimensions, such as where bird species exhibit similarities in habitat use and diet.

The demography of an Osprey population under natural recolonisation and translocation processes

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
In a context of global biodiversity loss, studying the processes underlying the recolonisation—whether natural or assisted—of expanding species provides essential insights for the development of effective conservation strategies. Since the 1980s, the Osprey Pandion haliaetus has naturally recolonized mainland central and eastern France, increasing from
