Tree cover and geographic origin of tree species drive bird functional groups in urban environments
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Urban trees provide habitat and resources for wild species in cities and support biodiversity provision of ecosystem services, among which insect control is particularly relevant. Predators of insects are promoted by the presence of trees and, in turn, may enhance biosecurity of the trees.

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We placed 214 avian carcasses in a desert environment at locations not associated with infrastructure and monitored their removal by scavengers using camera traps. We found that 211 of the 214 carcasses were scavenged and median persistence time was 1.53 days. None of the predictor variables were informative of carcass persistence times.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Comparison of two volunteer strategies for managing house sparrows in the United States
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.With a citizen science project, we investigated two volunteer management interventions that prevent house sparrow reproduction: swapping eggs with replicas (Swaps) and removing eggs and nest material (Removals). House Sparrows nested twice as quickly after Removals than Swaps, abandoned nestboxes more often after Swaps than Removals, with native ...
