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),

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.Artificial nest boxes increased nesting opportunities for birds when tailored to their ecological needs. More complex and heterogeneous landscapes with greater forest and shrub cover increased nest box use. Nest box placement height and management‐related factors also influenced their occupation.

Bridging the gap: improving methodologies for future avian microbiome research
Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.Recent advances in the field of wild avian microbiome research have significantly deepened our understanding of the eco‐evolutionary dynamics of bird–microbe interactions. Consequently, the field is now approaching a pivotal moment in uncovering the ultimate factors shaping avian microbiome structure, especially in relation to birds' ecological ...

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract The pine processionary moth (Thaumetopoea pityocampa, PPM) is a major defoliator in Mediterranean pine forests, with broad ecological and socioeconomic impacts. While vertebrate predators of its eggs, larvae, pupae, and imagos have been well documented, predation on adult females by mammals has not been previously described.

Wild turkey roost selection is more consistently associated with tree traits than microclimate
Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.Animals must cope with a range of climatic conditions across seasons, and they can accomplish this by selecting habitats that are favourable for thermoregulation. Sheltering from environmental conditions can be particularly important for reducing energetic costs when animals are inactive, but the influence of microclimate on the fine‐scale selection of
