Using functionally representative bird species and passive acoustic monitoring to model ecological variation across a land use mosaic in a dryland system

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 ...

Successes and opportunities for solutions‐oriented conservation research: Lessons learned from avian science

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.

Environmental factors associated with nesting habits and age shape the composition and connection between skin and uropygial gland microbiomes of birds

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

Application of a novel molecular diagnostic method to examine the spatio‐temporal trends of Carcelia iliaca, a larval parasitoid of oak processionary moth (Thaumetopoea processionea)

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 348-356, August 2026.
The oak processionary moth is an invasive pest in the United Kingdom that threatens biodiversity and public health, with rising control costs highlighting the need for sustainable management alternatives Conservation biocontrol using the parasitoid fly Carcelia iliaca is promising but key biological data gaps hinder evidence‐based policy development. A

Impact of spatial variation of a crucial prey, the molecricket, on hoopoe territory occupancy and reproduction [PDF]

, 2016
Direct benefits accrued from securing a territory of sufficient quality are important determinants of individual fitness and population persistence. Food supply is one of the main factors of animal territory quality, with spatial and temporal variation ...

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
