Hummingbird Feeders Can Provide eDNA for Detection of Nectar‐Feeding Bats

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
This study monitors nectar‐feeding bats (Leptonycteris nivalis, Leptonycteris yerbabuenae, and Choeronycteris mexicana) through eDNA swabs of hummingbird feeders collected by citizen scientists. Using novel qPCR assays, we successfully detected L. yerbabuenae and C. mexicana in a grand majority of samples. Previously only known to occur in the U.S.

Preschoolers' Scientific Curiosity and Inquiry Capabilities: An Ecological Research Approach

open access: yesJournal of Research in Science Teaching, Volume 63, Issue 1, Page 40-61, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Existing tools for measuring scientific curiosity often fail to capture its multifaceted, dynamic nature—particularly in early childhood, where behaviors are context‐dependent, non‐verbal, and emergent. These challenges limit our ability to understand and support young children's scientific engagement.

Unruffling the global feather trade: a comparative analysis of CITES and LEMIS records of feathers and bird skins

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, bird feathers (class: Aves) were harvested from wild populations and sold globally in enormous quantities to meet the rising demand of the fashion industry. Although many laws now prevent similar widescale harvest, there is a paucity of studies on the trade that has continued to occur since the 20th century.

Movement Strategies of Neotropical Nectarivorous Birds: Insights From High‐Andean Hummingbirds and Flowerpiercers

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Nectar is a highly variable, mostly unpredictable resource in tropical mountains. How do nectarivorous birds such as this male Great Sapphirewing cope? Fine‐scaled tracking of hummingbirds and flowerpiercers shows flexibility in daily movement strategies in the high Andes, possibly in response to fluctuating local conditions such as weather and ...

How Management Practices Shape the “Local Habitat Signature” That Modulates Bird Communities in Urban Green Spaces

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Local scale factors, not just the broad urban gradient, are the key drivers of urban bird communities. Our multi‐scale study found that specific management practices, such as managing leaf litter depth or the presence of unmanaged tall grass, explained the largest portion of variation in bird composition.

Influence of Wine Label Imagery: Eye‐Tracking Evidence and Regulatory Implications

open access: yesDrug and Alcohol Review, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction The visual design of alcohol beverage packaging plays a crucial role in shaping consumer perceptions and purchase decisions, yet regulations in many countries are relatively lax. Guidelines often focus on the inclusion of health warnings rather than overall label or packaging design, giving producers considerable freedom.
