Identifying hotspots of faunal data deficiency to direct urgent research and monitoring

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Data deficiency is a substantial challenge for extinction risk assessments because incomplete data means we cannot accurately identify priority protected areas for conservation. Here, we use the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) distributions of amphibians, sharks and rays, fish, mammals, birds, and reptiles to identify ...

Reproductive consequences of mate retention and divorce in a short‐lived migratory passerine

Ibis, EarlyView.
In socially monogamous birds, pair‐bond duration varies across species, from single‐breeding associations to long‐lasting, multi‐year bonds. Studies of pair retention and divorce have focused on long‐lived and sedentary species rather than short‐lived and migratory species.

Modelling the national breeding distribution and population size of an elusive forest bird, the Eurasian Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola)

Ibis, EarlyView.
Understanding the distribution of species is central to conservation biology. Species distribution modelling (SDM) is a standard method used for this purpose, especially for elusive species for which limited occurrence data exist. The Eurasian Woodcock Scolopax rusticola (hereafter Woodcock) is an elusive, woodland‐dwelling wader that is declining in ...

Exploring drivers and costs of partial trans‐Saharan migration in juvenile vultures

Ibis, EarlyView.
Partial migration occurs when only a subset of individuals within a population undertakes a migratory journey. The decision to migrate can be influenced by intrinsic traits (e.g. sex or physical condition) as well as by extrinsic factors (e.g. social environment or resource availability).

The influence of a cooling water system on waterbird habitat use in a coastal environment

Ibis, EarlyView.
This study investigated the impact of a cooling water system at a nuclear power plant in northern Europe on coastal waterbird habitat use. In winter, the cooling water system provided preferential areas for waterbirds with warm productive waters, and, more importantly, with ice‐free areas.

Connectivity between breeding sites, wintering areas, and migration routes in Common Terns (Sterna hirundo) breeding in the Western Palaearctic

Ibis, EarlyView.
Detailed knowledge about bird migration patterns can enhance our understanding of the evolution of migration and temporal changes in space use throughout the annual cycle. Additionally, as many migratory bird species are experiencing population declines, understanding the connectivity between their spatial distributions during breeding, migration and ...

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

First occurrences of Trionychidae (Testudines, Cryptodira) from the Miocene of Poland: Detailed cranial anatomy and biogeographic implications

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Fossil finds from three Middle Miocene sites in Poland reveal the northernmost known presence of trionychid turtles in Europe, tentatively identified as Trionyx cf. vindobonensis, suggesting a warmer climate that supported thermophilic species in Central Europe during this period. Abstract Modern trionychids (Testudines, Cryptodira) have a pan‐tropical

Virtual brain endocasts of the palaeanodont Metacheiromys marshi and the neurosensory evolution of early Pholidotamorpha

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We describe the endocranial anatomy of Metacheiromys marshi. Decrease in olfaction and eye movement control occurred through time in Pholidotamorpha and is likely linked to fossorial adaptations. The development of the orbital gyrus might be related to the evolution of myrmecophagy and the emergence of a protrusile tongue in early Pholidotamorpha ...

Historical Perspectives on Deglobalization's Drivers, Outcomes, and Managerial Responses

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract The deglobalization process experienced in the early 2020s is not without precedent. This Special Issue leverages business history as a lens to generate new insights and to uncover previously hidden complexities and nuances. Studying previous periods of deglobalization and their varying drivers, outcomes, and responses, the papers in this ...
