Wintering Barnacle Geese Exhibit an Increased Behavioural Drive for Sleep After Sleep Deprivation Without a Clear EEG‐Based Sleep Rebound

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep is essential for normal physiological functioning, and sleep deprivation is typically compensated by increasing subsequent sleep duration and/or intensity. However, a recent study showed that barnacle geese (Branta leucopsis) exhibit seasonal variation in sleep homeostasis, with full recovery of sleep after sleep deprivation in summer ...

Citizen science reveals host‐switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal families and exploration‐based guilds exhibit distinct responses to long‐term N, P and K deficiencies and imbalances

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Many agroecosystems face nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) or potassium (K) deficiencies due to imbalanced or insufficient nutrient replenishment after biomass harvest. How this affects the symbiosis between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and the abundance of exploration‐based AMF guilds (rhizophilic, edaphophilic and ancestral ...

Shorebird responses to fine‐scale water level fluctuations and macrofauna biomass in a newly constructed freshwater wetland

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoration of marine and freshwater wetlands for shorebirds is essential for the recovery of their declining populations. An ongoing approach is to restore shorebird habitats by large‐scale engineering, expecting the return of birds once suitable abiotic conditions are (re)established.
