3D printing of fluorine‐free omniphobic surfaces

Droplet, EarlyView.
Our work demonstrates that the simple and inexpensive digital light processing three‐dimensional printing can be used to fabricate micropillar arrays with doubly reentrant and triply reentrant features. The printed fluorine‐free surfaces display omniphobicity and resist the wetting of liquids with a wide range of surface tensions.

Risk of invasive waterfowl interaction with poultry production: Understanding potential for avian pathogen transmission via species distribution models

Ecology and Evolution
Recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza have devastated poultry production across the United States, with more than 77 million birds culled in 2022–2024 alone.

Men and Snakes: a long-term monitoring of wild caught snakes used in the Rito di San Domenico e dei Serpari (Cocullo, AQ, Italy)

Acta Herpetologica
In Cocullo, a small village in central Italy, the traditional religious rite of San Domenico involves the annual capture and temporary exhibition of wild non-venomous snakes, primarily Elaphe quatuorlineata, Zamenis longissimus, and Hierophis ...

Habitat complexity and prey composition shape an apex predator's habitat use across contrasting landscapes

Ecography, EarlyView.
The spatial ecology of stalk‐and‐ambush predators like the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx depends on prey availability and environmental features, yet the relative roles of these factors remain unclear at large spatial scales. In this study, we analysed lynx habitat use across central and southern Finland using snow‐track data from the Wildlife Triangle ...

Assessing and evaluating human-wildlife interactions for coexistence in shared landscapes

Frontiers in Conservation Science
Land sharing strategies for conciliating biodiversity conservation and human development usually do not consider the need to deal with human-wildlife conflicts, a type of human-wildlife interaction (HWI).

Beyond birds: rethinking bird‐centered pathogen models in light of insect migration

Ecography, EarlyView.
Migration redistributes biomass, nutrients, and pathogens across ecosystems. For decades, migratory birds have been treated as the default long‐distance pathogen vectors, shaping both conceptual frameworks and empirical models of disease ecology.

Migration speed, timing, and long‐term shifts in age structure in North American passerines during fall migration

Ecography, EarlyView.
Migration is challenging for birds, especially juveniles, who experience high mortality rates during migration. The challenge is exacerbated in the Anthropocene, contributing to widespread population declines. Conservation efforts focused on increasing juvenile survival could bolster population recovery.
