Wildlife temporal behaviors in response to human activity changes during and following COVID‐19 park closures

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
With urbanization reducing the amount of available wildlife habitat, and outdoor recreation increasing the human activity within wildlife habitats, it is important to understand the effects of human activity on animal behavior. This study examined how the reduction in human presence in urban parks in Gainesville, Florida, affected the temporal ...

Seasonal variation in wild pig (Sus scrofa) diet revealed by DNA metabarcoding

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Using DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, we investigated the diet of wild pigs at an extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem within Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arkansas. We found that wild pig diet was highly diverse and included at least 74 plant families and 106 genera and 23 species of vertebrates.

Courtship display behavior influences tail myology in Centrocercus minimus (Gunnison sage‐grouse)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Courtship displays among birds are widespread, particularly those which incorporate raised tail feathers for extended periods of time. The Gunnison sage‐grouse (Centrocercus minimus) is such a species. When we compared the tail muscles of the sage‐grouse to birds which do not engage in erected tail fan postures, both morphology proportional mass ...

The extraordinary evolutionary history of the reticuloendotheliosis viruses [PDF]

, 2013
The reticuloendotheliosis viruses (REVs) comprise several closely related amphotropic retroviruses isolated from birds. These viruses exhibit several highly unusual characteristics that have not so far been adequately explained, including their extremely

Intraocular Osseous Metaplasia in Norfolk Black Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo): Clinicopathological Characterization of a Rare Avian Condition

Veterinary Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Osseous metaplasia is a rare condition characterized by abnormal bone growth in soft tissues. Although documented in mammals, intraocular osseous metaplasia is uncommon in avian species and has been poorly characterized in turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo).

Space Use and Movements During Egg Laying Associated With Nest Fate and Female Survival in Eastern Wild Turkeys

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We assessed behaviors of female wild turkeys during the laying period and evaluated impacts of those behaviors on nest success and female survival. We found that increased movements during laying resulted in a decreased probability of nest success but an increased probability of female survival during incubation.

Does ecology predict taxonomy? How ecological differentiation can be used to spatially infer intraspecific diversity

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 518-530, February 2026.
Abstract Assessing the true dimension of biodiversity is a major challenge. Many species hide within them a diversity that is now being uncovered using molecular data. However, population genetic studies tend to be resource‐consuming and more difficult to apply to a broader range of taxa, limiting scalability.
