Behavioural and fitness effects of experimental immune activation during incubation in a wild passerine

Ibis, EarlyView.
Incubation is vital for avian embryo development but demands significant parental investment, potentially at the cost of self‐maintenance and immune function. For example, the acute phase response (APR), a systemic reaction against inflammation, infection or tissue injury, can trigger sickness behaviours such as reduced activity and foraging.

A high incidence of non-cavity nesting in an introduced population of House Sparrows suggests that the species should not be constrained by cavity-nest site availability

Avian Research, 2017
Background The House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) has undergone dramatic population declines in many parts of Europe. It has been widely hypothesised that a lack of cavity nest sites has contributed to this decline.

Helminth fauna of Passer domesticus (Passeriformes: Passeridae) in the southern extreme of Brazil

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2020
The objective of this study was to report helminth parasite species of Passer domesticus (Linnaeus, 1758) (sparrow) and to analyze infection rates in relation to total length, body mass and sexual gender of hosts.

Linking eBird data with high spatiotemporal remote sensing products to estimate occupancy of bird populations across the island of Ireland

Ibis, EarlyView.
The vast increase in biodiversity data generated through citizen science initiatives, alongside a growing suite of remote sensing products and advanced modelling tools, has opened new avenues for rapidly, accurately and efficiently monitoring species trends to inform conservation, management and policy.

Sexually size dimorphic brains and song complexity in passerine birds [PDF]

, 2004
Neural correlates of bird song involve the volume of particular song nuclei in the brain that govern song development, production, and perception. Intra- and interspecific variation in the volume of these song nuclei are associated with overall brain ...

Breeding biology of the house sparrow (Passer domesticus) in the Faroe Islands / Nøringin hjá føroyska gráspurvinum (Passer domesticus)

Fróðskaparrit - Faroese Scientific Journal, 2017
Abstract: The breeding biology of the Faroese house sparrow (Passer domesticus) is described based on the results from nestlings that were ringed just before they were fledging. By means of dates and numbers, the beginning and duration of the breeding seasons are determined and the reproductive output is estimated.

Corn response to broiler litter total cleanout frequency

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Broiler (Gallus gallus domesticus) litter is a valuable nutrient source for corn (Zea mays L.) production in the southeastern United States; however, differences in total cleanout frequency of broiler houses may influence the agronomic value of broiler litter. A 3‐year field study was established on Decatur silt loam and Malbis sandy clay loam

The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1197-1234, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological
