Use of Contaminated Habitat and Associated Selenium Uptake Mediate Haemosporidian Parasite Infections in Wild Passerine Birds

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We conducted a community‐scale field study to evaluate whether trace element contaminants derived from coal combustion residuals and nuclear fission products alter the dynamics of haemosporidian blood parasites, dipteran vectors, and avian hosts in riparian and wetland habitats in South Carolina, USA.

Does Seasonal Variation in Agility of Avian Prey Influence Body Size of Breeding Male Cooper's Hawks? And Comments on the Putative Influence of Avivory on Reproductive Output in Cities

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our findings regarding prey of breeding Cooper's Hawks in British Columbia and Wisconsin expand knowledge of their food habits and support the premise that seasonal agility of prey influences body size of nesting males. We deem it untenable to assume greater production of young at urban vs. rural nests based on proportion of avian prey use.

Farming Behavior by the Large Hawk‐Cuckoo Toward the Silver‐Eared Mesia and Black‐Streaked Scimitar Babbler

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
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.
