The Mental Health Impact of the COVID‐19 Pandemic on Health and Social Care Workers

Health Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The COVID‐19 pandemic placed exceptional strain on essential services, raising urgent concerns about the mental well‐being of workers in critical sectors. This study examines the short‐ and medium‐term effects of the COVID‐19 pandemic on the mental health of health and social care (HSC) workers in the UK relative to other occupational groups ...

Delayed nest predation: a possible tactic toward nests of open-nesting birds

Folia Zoologica, 2014
Predators use various tactics to find and depredate bird nests. This study examines a possible tactic of visually orientated predators termed “delayed nest-visit”. This consists in remembering the positions of incubating parents and subsequent easy depredation of eggs when the parents are away from their nests.

Urbanization and Seasonality Increase Introduced Plant Consumption by the World's Southernmost Parrot 城市化与季节性增加了全球最南端鹦鹉对引入植物的取食

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
Urbanization may alter bird foraging. Austral Parakeets (Enicognathus ferrugineus) in Patagonia rely on introduced plants in urban areas, especially in winter, despite preferring natives in the wild. This seasonal reliance on introduced species highlights urbanization trade‐offs and underscores the need to manage green areas with native plants to ...

Parent birds assess nest predation risk: influence of cavity condition and avian nest predator activity

Journal of Avian Biology, 2017
Skutch hypothesized that nest predators visually assess parental activities to locate a prey nest, whereas parents modify fitness‐related traits to reduce the probability of nest predation. We examined how cavity condition and parental activity interact with avian nest predators to shape the nest success of two coexisting parid ...

Decision‐making and risk‐taking as predictors of health risk behaviors in the Millennium Cohort Study

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Facets of decision‐making and risk‐taking are implicated in adolescent health risk behaviors; however, whether they may lead to adolescent engagement in substance use, gambling, and self‐harm is unknown. Methods We used the Millennium Cohort Study to test whether a task‐based measure of decision‐making and risk‐taking predicts ...

Decision fatigue in hospital medicine: A retrospective exploratory evaluation

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background “Decision fatigue” (DF) is the deterioration in decision‐making ability stemming from repeated decision making. Objective Explore DF over the clinical workblock and across hospitalist and work characteristics. Methods Patients seen by hospitalists at two hospitals in January and February 2022 were retrospectively evaluated for ...

Does photo-monitoring affect nest predation?

Journal of Field Ornithology, 2002
We examined predation rates on natural and artificial Common Wood-Pigeon (Columba palumbus) nests with camouflaged cameras, with uncamouflaged cameras, and without cameras in Villatobas, Central Spain. Total daily nest survival probability was considerably higher in uncamouflaged-camera nests than in the two other types of nests, while there were no ...

Mitigating Fox Predation on Freshwater Turtle Nests: Comparing Effectiveness of Three In Situ Protection Methods

Ecology and Evolution
Freshwater turtles in the Murray‐Darling Basin (MDB), Australia, have declined since the 1970s. Intense nest predation by introduced foxes likely contributes to these declines, disrupting juvenile recruitment needed to sustain populations.

Contrasted habitat selection among Eurasian curlew populations according to landscape heterogeneity and breeding stage

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
This study aimed to quantify the spatio‐temporal use of breeding environments by the Eurasian curlew in 5 contrasting agricultural landscapes. To this end, 64 individuals were tagged with GPS devices to assess their space use according to their breeding stages and define their foraging habitat selection.
