Chlamydia species in free-living Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) and Hoopoe (Upupa epops) in Egypt
International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine, 2014 Little information is available on the presence of chlamydia infection in wildlife. This study was conducted to assess the occurrence of chlamydiae in asymptomatic birds from two species of wild birds (Cattle Egret and Hoopoe) in Egypt.

Threshold Responses of Bird Communities to Human Footprint: Testing the Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis and Implications for Biodiversity Conservation. [PDF]
Ecol EvolHuman activities, quantified by the Human Footprint Index (HFP), drive biodiversity declines, with birds serving as sensitive indicators of ecosystem health. In northeastern Inner Mongolia, Threshold Indicator Taxa Analysis (TITAN) identified a community composition shift at HFP ≈ 14, with species‐specific thresholds ranging from 3.37 to 43.22 ...

Population expansion of the Hoopoe Upupa epops in Silesia, SW Poland
Rivista Italiana di Ornitologia - Research in Ornithology, 2016 A total of 258 breeding pairs of the Hoopoe were recorded in Silesia (c. 42,000 km2), SW Poland, during the years 2004- 2008. This is almost twice more than during the years 1978-1987 (136 pairs). This increase was rather unexpected.

Massive nest-box supplementation boosts fecundity, survival and even immigration without altering mating and reproductive behaviour in a rapidly recovered bird population. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Habitat restoration measures may result in artificially high breeding density, for instance when nest-boxes saturate the environment, which can negatively impact species' demography.

Preening as a Vehicle for Key Bacteria in Hoopoes [PDF]
Microbial Ecology, 2015 Oily secretions produced in the uropygial gland of incubating female hoopoes contain antimicrobial-producing bacteria that prevent feathers from degradation and eggs from pathogenic infection. Using the beak, females collect the uropygial gland secretion and smear it directly on the eggshells and brood patch.
