Estimating seasonal survival of migratory birds using continuous‐time capture–recapture models

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 6, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding the population dynamics of migratory species requires consideration of their entire annual cycle. A key requirement is the decomposition of annual survival into seasonal periods. While there is increasing evidence that migrations are the most dangerous phase of the annual cycle, temporal variation in seasonal survival and its ...

Rooftop Breeding Does Not Consistently Explain Variation in Yolk Testosterone in Herring Gulls

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Rooftop‐ and ground‐breeding represent distinct ecological contexts that may influence maternal hormone allocation in Herring gulls. Yolk testosterone concentrations differed between rooftop‐ and ground‐breeding pairs in one of 2 years but were not consistently associated with breeding context, nest density or proxies of maternal quality, suggesting ...

Inferring the Abundance of an Island Megaherbivore From Semi‐Structured Distance Sampling

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We use a hierarchical Bayesian distance‐sampling model to infer the atoll‐wide abundance and habitat‐specific density of Aldabra giant tortoises from long‐term, irregular transect monitoring on Aldabra Atoll (Seychelles). The detection‐corrected wet‐season estimate indicates a large, stable population of ~182,500 individuals (2018–2021), supporting the

Global analysis suggests nitrogen deposition as an underestimated driver of vegetation greening

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
The local effects of atmospheric nitrogen deposition on plants are well established, yet a global empirical analysis of nitrogen deposition effects on vegetation dynamics is missing. Here, we assess how nitrogen deposition, alongside other global change drivers such as fire, and changes in temperature, precipitation and human land use, is related to ...

Toward Repurposing Global Passive Air Sampling Networks for Insect Monitoring: Promises and Pitfalls of Airborne eDNA

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Our key findings show that polyurethane passive air samplers can sample insects, although highly abundant insects tend to be overrepresented. Our results also suggest that airborne eDNA might give us a broad temporal image of the insect communities over several weeks, rather than a snapshot of when samples are collected.
