Widespread Contamination by Anticoagulant Rodenticides in Insectivorous Wildlife from the Canary Islands: Exploring Alternative Routes of Exposure [PDF]
ToxicsResearch on anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) in wildlife has primarily focused on apex predators, with less attention given to their potential integration into lower trophic levels and the associated exposure pathways. At the base of the terrestrial food

Pest-removal services provided by birds on subsistence farms in south-eastern Nigeria.
PLoS ONE, 2021 To what extent birds provide the ecosystem service of pest control in subsistence farms, and how this service might depend on retained natural habitats near farmlands is unexplored in West Africa.

Are declines in insects and insectivorous birds related? [PDF]
Ornithological Applications, 2021 Abstract A flurry of recently published studies indicates that both insects and birds have experienced wide-scale population declines in the last several decades. Curiously, whether insect and bird declines are causally linked has received little empirical attention.

The Value of Insectivorous Birds [PDF]
Nature, 1918 WITH reference to Sir Herbert Maxwell's comments on my article in NATURE of July 25, I think he has overlooked one of the causes I mentioned in connection with the present scarcity of our insectivorous birds, viz. the severity of the winter of 1916–17 and, to a smaller extent, of that of 1917–18.

Echolocation in Bats, Odontocetes, Birds, and Insectivores [PDF]
, 2022 AbstractIn this chapter, the authors review basic concepts about echolocation, the variety of animals known to echolocate, the production of echolocation signals, the different types of echolocation signals, the hearing anatomy, and how echolocating animals use echolocation. The differences between echolocation signals in air versus water are discussed.
