A national assessment of waterbird hunting in coastal wetlands of Suriname, South America

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
We examined waterbird harvest levels in Suriname using hunter survey data from 2006 and 2016. The analysis showed a significant decline in the average harvest per hunter over the decade, except for blue‐winged teal and migratory shorebirds. However, the sustainability of current harvest levels remains uncertain, underscoring the need for a national ...

Shorebird responses to fine‐scale water level fluctuations and macrofauna biomass in a newly constructed freshwater wetland

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Abstract Introduction Restoration of marine and freshwater wetlands for shorebirds is essential for the recovery of their declining populations. An ongoing approach is to restore shorebird habitats by large‐scale engineering, expecting the return of birds once suitable abiotic conditions are (re)established.

Structure of the Wetland‐Dependent Bird Assemblages in the Pequenos Lençóis Maranhenses, in Maranhão, Brazil

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Wetland‐dependent birds play crucial ecological roles and are highly influenced by local environmental factors such as depth, salinity and microhabitat availability. Although the importance of these environments for biodiversity is already recognized, studies on the spatiotemporal dynamics of these assemblages in Maranhão remain scarce.

The Case of the Missing Green Iguana Predators: Reviews of Ecological Literature Should Go Beyond Google Scholar

open access: yesThe Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, Volume 107, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Knowing about species interactions is essential for ecological research, conservation efforts, resource management, and maintaining healthy ecosystems, but many of these, such as reports of predation, may not always be published in easily located resources—if they are published at all.

Effects of hunting on waterbird numbers in Mediterranean coastal wetlands in France: the case of the Hérault department

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
Waterfowl hunting plays a complex role in the conservation of waterbird populations. While hunting can provide conservation benefits, excessive or unregulated hunting may threaten waterbird populations, particularly for species with declining numbers or high sensitivity to human disturbances.
