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.

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.

Plant‐Pollinator Interaction Rewiring Boosts Year‐to‐Year Community Persistence

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our study shows that year‐to‐year changes in plant–pollinator interactions are not random but structured to enhance pollinator persistence, buffering communities against environmental fluctuations. Using a uniquely resolved 8‐year dataset from 12 sites, we reveal that these shifts are primarily driven by changes in phenology and abundance of the ...
