Variation in the Oxidative State of Collared Flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis) Nestlings and Its Association With Their Plumage Coloration

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Plumage coloration is widely recognized as an important component in intraspecific communication. Our aim was to examine the variation of oxidative parameters and their associations with the coloration of two different nestling plumage traits in collared flycatchers (Ficedula albicollis).

Using Landsat Satellite Imagery to Investigate Spatial and Temporal Variation in Life History Traits in a Long‐Term Study Population of Superb Fairy‐Wrens Malurus cyaneus

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We used 27 years of data from an insectivorous passerine in southeastern Australia, the superb fairy‐wren Malurus cyaneus, to assess how climate variation influences vegetation productivity and, indirectly, reproduction and survival via potential trophic interactions.

Turnover‐Dominated β‐Diversity and Its Temperature and Trophic Drivers of Scarabaeoidea Assemblages Along an Elevational Gradient in a Tropical Island Rainforest in China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
An important issue with diversity patterns along elevational gradients in mountain ecosystems is that far few studies have incorporated abundance and top‐down effects‐which may covary with environmental gradients‐when inferring the mechanisms structuring insect communities. Here, we tested the effects of potential drivers (temperature, humidity, litter

Navigating urban ecology: Conceptual and methodological insights

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Since its consolidation as a sub‐discipline of ecology in the late 1990s, urban ecology has grown substantially, enhancing our understanding of how urbanization shapes biodiversity and how biodiversity adapts to urbanization. Inherently interdisciplinary in its scope and application, urban ecology is rooted in multiple theoretical and ...

Testing the delivery of conservation schemes for farmland birds at the farm-scale during winter, in Southern lowland England

, 2013
Many farmland bird species across Europe have continued to show population declines since the 1970s, as a result of agricultural intensification. A large number of conservation schemes and initiatives have emerged from Government and the food industry ...

From lagging to leading: Increased phenological asynchrony in a Batesian mimicry complex

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Climate change can alter species interactions by shifting phenology and species distributions. Batesian mimicry is one such interaction in which mimic protection is often assumed to depend on temporal and spatial overlap with defended models, although recent studies suggest strict synchrony may not always be required.

Allometric relationships of the gastrointestinal tracts of insectivorous passerine birds from Malaysia, New Guinea and Australia

, 1990
Beak length, gizzard width and intestinal length were all similarly related to body mass in gleaning, insectivorous, passerine birds from Malaysia, New Guinea and Australia.

Stressed Overwintering Bottleneck Hypothesis: Ocean Warming and Acidification Synergistically Disrupt Arctic Zooplankton Overwintering

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
Ocean warming (OW) and acidification (OA) synergistically doubled overwintering Calanus glacialis mortality and increased DNA damage. OW accelerated moulting by mid‐Polar Night, boosted metabolism, depleted lipids by early March, 1–4 months pre‐spring algal bloom, and amplified oxidative damage. Collectively, these stressors cause overwintering failure,

Potential Benefit of Predator Exclusion Fence for the Threatened Ground Wētā Hemiandrus fabella

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
Although conservation practitioners in Aotearoa New Zealand are world‐leaders in predator exclusion fencing for threatened species conservation, the degree to which fences protect invertebrates has not been extensively studied, especially in non‐forested environments.
