The Windy City Rookery: Movement and Activity Patterns of Black‐Crowned Night Herons (Nycticorax nycticorax) in a Human‐Dominated Landscape

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Black‐crowned night herons (BCNH) are a cryptic, widely distributed colonial wading bird. Despite showing regional declines in North America, this species has successfully adapted to colonize urban areas. In this study, our team used GPS/GSM transmitters to explore the space use, habitat use, and diel activity patterns of BCNH breeding at the largest ...

Abundance, Distribution and Population Trends of Waterbirds in the Usangu Wetland: A Biodiversity Hotspot Threatened by Human Activities

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Waterbirds play vital ecological roles in wetland ecosystems. This study reports variations for 34 species of waterbirds across study sites of Usangu Wetland abundance with distribution bias in rice farms. The waterbird population trend is declining because of habitat alteration and hunting hence conservation measures should be taken to enhance ...

Retroviral Infections Affect Survival and Clutch Size of Female Wild Turkeys

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We investigated the effects of two oncogenic retroviruses, lymphoproliferative disease virus (LPDV) and reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV), on survival and reproduction of wild turkeys in Maine. REV infection reduced female annual survival by nearly half, while LPDV‐infected hens laid fewer eggs, though other reproductive metrics were unaffected.

Habitat Fragmentation in Urbanized Landscapes Favors Bird Species With Darker Plumage

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Using long‐term breeding bird survey data from 30 remnant woodlot patches within a rapidly urbanizing landscape in southwest China, we demonstrate that species with darker plumage are more likely to persist in highly fragmented habitats. The pattern is slightly more pronounced in males than in females.
