How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2190-2213, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Buildings as accidental habitat: Where animals nest, sleep and forage

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3531-3551, October 2026.
Abstract Animals have long inhabited human buildings alongside us, but our understanding comes from isolated studies, such as reports of a possum in the roof or a bat in our walls. What we lack is the building's perspective: which building features actually serve as habitat and for whom?

Waterbird zoogeochemical effects shape wetland nutrient dynamics and algal communities in Laurentian Great Lakes coastal freshwater wetlands

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 10, Page 1887-1902, October 2026.
Distinct waterbird species influence nutrient cycling through guano contributions in Great Lakes coastal wetlands. Waterbird‐derived nutrients favour distinct algal communities and wetland sediments rapidly remove waterbird nutrients via biogeochemical processes.

American White Pelicans and Recreational Boaters on Lakes of the North American Great Plains: Habitat Use Overlap [PDF]

The Open Ornithology Journal, 2014
Shoreline development and boating on lakes of the northern Great Plains of North America have increased due to recent economic prosperity. Few studies have examined the general characteristics of habitats used by foraging waterbirds and boats to determine levels of overlap.

Economic effects of cormorant predation on catfish farms in the US Black Belt region (West Alabama and East Mississippi)

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Losses to avian predators and the ensuing negative economic effects on US catfish farms have been well studied in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley. This study is the first to estimate the economic effects of predation by double‐crested cormorants (Nannopterum auritum) on catfish farms in the Black Belt region (West Alabama and East Mississippi;

Avian influenza overview June–August 2026

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Between 5 June and 28 August 2026, 110 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) virus detections were reported in domestic (7) and wild (103) birds in 12 countries in Europe. The number of detections remained at a seasonal low throughout the summer, continuing the decline observed since spring.

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1704-1734, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Rediscovery and redescription of clinostomid trematodes from Pelecanus onocrotalus

Parasitology
This study reports the first rediscovery and redescription of Euclinostomum lauroi in more than 40 years, based on an adult specimen recovered from the oesophagus of a great white pelican (Pelecanus onocrotalus) in Lake Tana, Ethiopia.
