Foraging Observations: Novel Trophic Interactions Between the Andean Gull (<i>Chroicocephalus serrranus</i>) and Endangered Vertebrates of Lake Titicaca. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
We show that the Andean gull predates on both the Titicaca Grebe and the Titicaca Giant Frog. Both these species are critically endangered, and it was unknown that they had natural predators before this. ABSTRACT We record two new predation events and one new kleptoparasitic Andean Gull (Chroicocephalus serranus) behavior, interactions that directly ...

WABAD: A world annotated bird acoustic dataset for passive acoustic monitoring. [PDF]

open access: yesEcology
Abstract Under the current global biodiversity crisis, there is a need for automated and noninvasive monitoring techniques that can gather large amounts of data cost‐effectively at various ecological scales, from local to large spatial scales. These data can then be analyzed to inform stakeholders and decision‐makers.

Recommendations for Improving the Modeling of Wintering Waterbird Population Sizes and Trends. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
We assessed four statistical approaches (simple GLMM, optimized GLMM, LORI, and TRIM) for analyzing International Waterbird Census data and found that commonly used methods inadequately address zero inflation, overdispersion, and spatial autocorrelation.

A New Species of Plasmodium of the Subgenus Novyella Infecting White-Shouldered Fire-Eyes (Pyriglena leucoptera) (Aves: Thamnophilidae) in Brazil. [PDF]

open access: yesIntegr Zool
South America has a remarkable genetic diversity of avian haemosporidians, yet only a few species have been described combining molecular and morphological data. This study introduces Plasmodium (Novyella) pyriglenae sp. nov., a new species infecting the white‐shouldered fire‐eye (Pyriglena leucoptera) in Brazil.

Present and Future of the White-Tailed Laurel Pigeon (<i>Columba junoniae</i>) on Gran Canaria Island. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
Reintroduction projects are fundamental for the restoration of ecosystems and biodiversity conservation. In this work, we evaluate the success of the reintroduction of the white‐tailed laurel pigeon on Gran Canaria island. We found that the species has colonized most of its potential habitat in the new distribution area but that such niche is likely to

Faeces, Feathers and Flight: Understanding of Escape Behaviour in Incubating Eurasian Woodcocks (<i>Scolopax rusticola</i>). [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
Using a large dataset of nest photographs from open‐source platforms, we investigated defecation and fright moulting in incubating Eurasian woodcocks (Scolopax rusticola), finding defecation in 54% of nests and feathers in 67%. We suggest these behaviours may aid the female's escape rather than protect the nest, and highlight the importance of ...

Socio-Economic Status and Non-Native Species Drive Bird Ecosystem Service Provision in Urban Areas. [PDF]

open access: yesGlob Chang Biol
Birds bring important benefits to people, like pest control and aesthetic enjoyment. We studied birds in cities across Spain and Portugal to see how income levels affect the benefits people get from nature. We found that higher income areas tended to have more bird species but, surprisingly, fewer of these benefits, while places with non‐native birds ...
