Phylogenomics of the American robin (Turdus migratorius) reveals hidden lineages and introgression

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Phylogenomic analyses of Turdus migratorius uncover four previously unrecognized lineages, including a divergent Baja California lineage (T. m. confinis). The results reveal complex evolutionary relationships that depart from simple models of continuous divergence, supported by evidence of introgression between the Mexican lineage and its previously ...

Rapid responses of marsh birds to large‐scale tidal wetland restoration in California's Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Tidal wetland restoration is widely used to recover ecosystem function in modified estuaries, yet uncertainty remains about how quickly wildlife communities respond. Early trajectories are central to evaluating restoration success, guiding adaptive management, and building ecosystem resilience in engineered landscapes. Marsh birds

Standard metabolic rates of three nectarivorous meliphagid passerine birds

, 1999
Standard metabolic rate (VO2 STD) was determined for three species of passerine bird from the family Meliphagidae to investigate the possible effect of nectarivory on standard metabolic rate in this family.

The alarmingly threatened Aquatic warbler: from early ecological insights to current conservation priorities

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
The Aquatic warbler (Acrocephalus paludicola) is the rarest songbird of continental Europe and a fen mire specialist. The systematic drainage in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries resulted in the loss of almost all fen mires in the breeding range. In our conservative and cautious estimate, we assume that the total historical population was around ...

The Chromosomal Organization of Isleria hauxwelli and Its Meaning for the Karyotypic Evolution in Thamnophilidae (Passeriformes)

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The order Passeriformes, the most speciose avian order, includes over 6000 species (~60% of all birds). The Amazon Basin alone hosts > 900 bird species, with Passeriformes representing > 500 of them. The family Thamnophilidae comprises ~200 insectivorous species, accounting for 15% of Neotropical passerine richness.

The costs of extra‐pair behaviours in birds

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2300-2312, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Extra‐pair behaviours – reproductive behaviours, including those related to copulation and paternity of offspring, amongst animals outside of a social pair bond – have long intrigued behavioural ecologists, particularly from the female animal's perspective.

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2448-2466, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Daytime passerine migrants over the Sahara — are these diurnal migrants or prolonged flights of nocturnal migrants?

, 2007
Passerine migrants are usually divided into diurnal and nocturnal migrants. When crossing the Sahara it was expected that nocturnal migrants would continue their flight into the day.

Identifying the exposure of taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of steppe birds to renewable energy development

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Biodiversity is globally threatened by human impacts, including land‐use transformation and climate change, which has prompted a rapid transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) energy. However, utility‐scale PV plants require vast areas and can lead to conflicts with biodiversity conservation, making ...
