Unexpected diversity of alternative reproductive tactics revealed in Water Rails (Rallus aquaticus)

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 216-229, January 2026.
Monogamy in birds was long considered a general mating system until molecular studies provided evidence of alternative reproductive strategies (ARS), which are now assumed to be present in ~90% of bird species. These ARS or tactics (ART), as we consider them in this study, include extra‐pair copulation, which can lead to extra‐pair paternity or extra ...

Winter release and management of reintroduced migratory Whooping Cranes Grus americana [PDF]

open access: yesBird Conservation International, 2009
SummaryFrom 2001 to 2005, 71 costume-reared juvenile Whooping Cranes Grus americana were led by ultralight aircraft from Wisconsin to a winter release site on the west-central Gulf Coast of Florida. A strategy was developed and implemented to maximize first winter survival while preventing exposure to non-costumed humans and tame Sandhill Cranes ...

Archive eggs: A research and management tool for avian conservation breeding

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2012
Worldwide, approximately 168 bird species are captive‐bred for reintroduction into the wild. Programs tend to be initiated for species with a high level of endangerment. Depressed hatching success can be a problem for such programs and has been linked to

Non‐Passerine Birds in Zoos: A Global Approach on Distribution Patterns of Threatened Birds in Zoological Institutions 动物园中非雀形目鸟类:全球动物机构中受威胁鸟类的分布模式研究

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 600-615, December 2025.
Only 1541 (34.2%) of 4503 recognized non‐passerine bird species are held in ZIMS institutions worldwide. Approximately ~83% of the species kept globally are classified as non‐threatened and ~16% as threatened. To improve the conservation of threatened birds, a shift toward keeping threatened species should be considered within ex situ management ...

Avian mortalities due to transmission line collisions: a review of current estimates and field methods with an emphasis on applications to the Canadian electric network

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology, 2013
Birds are vulnerable to collisions with human-made fixed structures. Despite ongoing development and increases in infrastructure, we have few estimates of the magnitude of collision mortality.

Breeding home range selection of Eastern Population sandhill cranes across the boreal forest

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 8, November 2025.
We evaluated breeding home range habitat selection of sandhill cranes (Antigone canadensis) in the boreal forest of eastern Canada. Overall, we found that sandhill cranes selected breeding home ranges with greater proportions of wetlands, cropland, and recently disturbed forest.

Can edge AI mitigate environmental effects on camera trap performance?

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2025.
A camera trap enabled with edge artificial intelligence (AI) mitigated the effects of increased air temperature on the probability of false positive detections, but at the cost of an increased probability of missed detections. Other environmental variables affected camera trap performance differently, suggesting the need to account for camera trap ...
