Different Prey Resources Suggest Little Competition Between Non-Native Frogs and Insectivorous Birds Despite Isotopic Niche Overlap

, 2016
Non-native amphibians often compete with native amphibians in their introduced range, but their competitive effects on other vertebrates are less well known.

Reproductive consequences of mate retention and divorce in a short‐lived migratory passerine

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 1139-1147, July 2026.
In socially monogamous birds, pair‐bond duration varies across species, from single‐breeding associations to long‐lasting, multi‐year bonds. Studies of pair retention and divorce have focused on long‐lived and sedentary species rather than short‐lived and migratory species.

Adaptive Singularities of the Digestive System of Insectivorous and Granivorous Birds

, 1973
A comparative-morphological analysis of the digestive system was performed for insectivorous (A pus apus L., Riparia riparia L., Motacilla alba L., Sturmus vulgaris L.) and granivorous (Coccothraustes coccothraustes L., Pyrrhula pyrrhula L., Carduelis ...

Modelling the national breeding distribution and population size of an elusive forest bird, the Eurasian Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola)

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 1034-1054, July 2026.
Understanding the distribution of species is central to conservation biology. Species distribution modelling (SDM) is a standard method used for this purpose, especially for elusive species for which limited occurrence data exist. The Eurasian Woodcock Scolopax rusticola (hereafter Woodcock) is an elusive, woodland‐dwelling wader that is declining in ...

The raphe nuclear organization and serotonergic system in the bat (Artibeus planirostris)

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 207-221, July 2026.
Schematic representation of the methodological workflow used to characterize the serotonergic (5‐HT) system in the bat Artibeus planirostris. Serotonin (5‐HT) immunohistochemistry was performed on brainstem sections to identify and map the distribution of serotonergic neurons within the raphe nuclei.

Digitised herbarium specimen data reveal a climate change‐related trend to an earlier, shorter Canadian Arctic flowering season, and phylogenetic signal in Arctic flowering times

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 2, Page 696-706, July 2026.
Summary The Arctic is experiencing some of the world's most rapid changes in climate. Arctic plant flowering time responses to climate change are understudied. Globally, conflicting evidence exists on whether flowering time responses to temperature are evolutionarily conserved.

Sheep dung input enhances arthropod biomass and a threatened insectivorous bird: Experimental management for conservation

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
In recent decades, Europe has seen a notable decrease in extensive grazing by domestic livestock; endangering semi‐natural open habitats; and impacting soil, vegetation, arthropods and insectivores.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...
