Population monitoring and conservation implications of intra‐ and interspecific nest occupation rates in swallows [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionWith the exception of a few groups of birds, such as large raptors and colonial seabirds, direct counts of nests cannot be conducted over very large areas for most of the abundant and widely distributed species, and thus indirect methods are used to ...

Season, Microclimate and Shoreline Disturbance Interactively Shape Bird Functional Diversity. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study examined the seasonal and spatial patterns of bird functional diversity across natural and urbanized coastal sites in Ghana. We found that natural shorelines undergo significant seasonal functional reorganization, whereas urbanized areas maintain stable, generalist‐dominated communities year‐round, losing the temporal dynamics that support ...

Citizen science reveals host-switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change. [PDF]
Med Vet EntomolA 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 ...
