Sweat the small stuff: A review of the use of accelerometers to estimate energy expenditure in wild animals

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 12, Page 2362-2375, December 2025.
The growing use of accelerometry by ecologists to measure energy expenditure can make physiologists sweat due to its many pitfalls. This review comprehensively describes the use of accelerometry in wild animals, the successes (and failures) of calibrations and how best to estimate energy expenditure from accelerometers.

Linking Habitat Conditions, Human Pressures, and Waterbird Diversity in a West African Coastal Wetland

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The Tanji wetland complex, situated on the Atlantic coast of The Gambia, is a coastal mosaic of mangroves, riparian forest, lagoons, and offshore islands of high ornithological significance. Despite its protected status, the reserve faces mounting pressures from human activities and environmental change, yet comprehensive ecological data ...

Review of the tetrapod skull–neck boundary: implications for the evolution of the atlas–axis complex

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2435-2470, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This review describes variation in modern and fossil occiput–atlas–axis complex anatomy of total group Tetrapoda with the aim of documenting the range of structural variation throughout their evolutionary history to establish grounds for comparison of the complex between tetrapod clades.

The impact of boat activities associated with an acoustic fish telemetry study on waterbird populations in a Special Protection Area

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract It is widely recognized that the research techniques used to monitor and study wildlife have the potential to disturb and alter the behavior of the study species. However, other impacts on sensitive, non‐target, species are rarely investigated.

Avian influenza overview September–November 2025

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Between 6 September and 28 November 2025, 2896 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus detections were reported in domestic (442) and wild (2454) birds in 29 countries in Europe. The magnitude and geographical extent of these detections were unprecedented for this time of the year, particularly in wild birds.

Loggers affect the foraging behaviour and fitness of European shags

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.
Biologgers enable real‐time collection of detailed behavioural and physiological data from wide‐ranging animals, including seabirds inhabiting remote regions. However, the number of studies using tracking devices has not been matched by research exploring the behavioural and fitness costs of deployment, and the effects on data reliability.
