Clutch Destruction by Common Cuckoos (<i>Cuculus canorus</i>) During the Laying Stage of Vinous-Throated Parrotbills (<i>Sinosuthora webbiana</i>): First Video Evidence. [PDF]
We present the first video‐documented evidence of clutch destruction by Common Cuckoos during the laying stage of Vinous‐throated Parrotbills. This behavior, observed across five cases, led to complete clutch loss and host desertion. Our findings expand the known timeline of brood parasite aggression and offer new insights into host–parasite ...

Farming Behavior by the Large Hawk-Cuckoo Toward the Silver-Eared Mesia and Black-Streaked Scimitar Babbler. [PDF]
Some parasitic birds may destroy unsuitable host nests through “Farming behavior” to induce re‐nesting, thereby creating new opportunities for parasitism. Despite its potential significance, this behavior has been documented in only a few brood‐parasitic species.

Underestimated Fatalities of a Cryptic Avian Species of Conservation Concern at Wind Energy Facilities in California, USA. [PDF]
Blackbirds killed at wind turbines in California, USA, are typically assumed to be common red‐winged blackbirds. In reality, a surprising number of them are endangered tri‐colored blackbirds. This finding has important implications for the way fatalities are managed at these wind facilities. ABSTRACT Accurate information underpins successful ecological

Uncovering correlates of decline and critical refuges for a threatened terrestrial mammal. [PDF]
Abstract Globally, the geographic ranges of numerous species are contracting. Identifying spatiotemporal patterns of threat impact can illuminate why species decline in some parts of their range but persist in others. We developed a correlative approach to identify species’ response thresholds and locate ecological refuge areas associated with ...

The Role of Campus as an Urban Multiuse Protected Area in Bird Nocturnal Roosting Habitat Function. [PDF]
Campus green spaces are essential for providing critical nocturnal habitats, playing a key role in supporting urban bird species in fragmented environments. Seasonal variations significantly influence nocturnal bird roosting site selection, with birds adapting their roosting patterns to changing environmental conditions throughout the year.
