Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.Birds, through their wide range of functional traits, can serve as useful indicators of ecological change. Monitoring them across spatial scales has been considerably enhanced through passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) and automated call identification.

SCENES OF LAPWING-BIRD IN THE ANCIENT EGYPTIAN TOMBS [PDF]
Maǧallaẗ Kulliyyaẗ Al-Sīyāḥaẗ wa Al-Fanādiq (Ǧāmiʿaẗ Al-Mansoura), 2017 The migration of birds to northern Africa during the winter is quite common in the Nile Delta. The arrival of these birds in the Egyptian skies fascinated the ancient Egyptians who include these species in the scenes decorating the walls of the temples ...

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.Conservation science struggles with an ongoing divide between research and action. We discussed examples of successful solutions‐oriented avian conservation science. Successes were characterized by communication, collaboration, and co‐development with local communities, decision‐makers, practitioners, and Indigenous communities.

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1435-1452, August 2026.This study provides new insights into how ecological conditions influence the evolution of host‐associated symbiotic communities and their functional roles. The findings suggest that pathogen pressures linked to nesting habits in birds shape bacterial communities of the uropygial gland, and their connection with the skin microbiome, where the ...

Geolocation with a magnetic sensor
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2395-2407, August 2026.Abstract Many migratory animals use spatial variation in the Earth's magnetic field for orientation and navigation. This raises the possibility of exploiting these same cues to geolocate and track migratory animals throughout their annual journeys. Magnetic‐based geolocation could be particularly valuable for small aerial and aquatic species, for which

Threats to Nature's Contributions to People Provided by Terrestrial Vertebrates Across Europe
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Species and ecosystem processes provide essential benefits to people, known as Nature's Contributions to People (NCP). However, we still lack a comprehensive understanding of NCP provided by terrestrial vertebrates on a macroecological scale, and of the threats they face. To address this, we built a comprehensive dataset that documents the

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 5, Page 1299-1312, May 2026.Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Evaporative Water Loss and Stopover Behavior in Three Passerine Bird Species During Autumn Migration
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Migratory birds are often not specifically adapted to arid conditions, yet several species travel across deserts during their journeys, and often have more or less short stopovers there. We investigated whether differences in thermoregulatory mechanisms,
