Seasonal Dynamics of the Gut Microbiome in Urban Feral Pigeons Are Associated With Environmental Conditions, Not With Diet Shifts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Using feral pigeons in urban environments, we show that microbiome diversity and composition vary seasonally despite stable diet composition. ABSTRACT Gut microbiomes play a crucial role in host physiology and seasonal adaptation. While seasonal shifts in avian gut microbiota are often attributed to seasonal diet variation, environmental factors may be

Studying interspecific population synchrony: current status and future perspectives

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Interspecific population synchrony, or co‐fluctuations in the population dynamics and demographic parameters of different species, is an important ecological phenomenon with major implications for the stability of communities and ecosystems. It is also central in the context of biodiversity loss, as interspecific synchrony can influence how ecological ...

Low‐intensity urban development delays the spring departures of nonbreeding migratory bird populations

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Urban areas alter the timings (phenologies) of seasonal processes for plants and animals, yet the effects on bird migration, particularly pre‐breeding migration, are not well understood. Higher temperatures, higher levels of artificial light at night, and earlier vegetation emergence in urban areas can advance spring seasonal processes ...

Amphibian Intestine Allometry

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 5, May 2026.
Total intestine length scales hyper‐allometrically, that is, at an exponent > 0.33, with body mass across vertebrates, including amphibians. ABSTRACT Across four large vertebrate groups—fish, reptiles, birds and mammals— intestine length has been shown to scale hyper‐allometrically with body mass (BM), at an exponent higher than the geometric ...

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a stronger inhibitor of overwintering dormancy than urban warming in mosquitoes

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Low intensities of warm white ALAN were a stronger inhibitor of diapause initiation than urban warming, indicating that changes in brightness or light colour may not be sufficient to mitigate ecological impacts and ALAN from common sources can extend seasonal mosquito biting activity and reproduction into late autumn.
