Citizen science reveals host‐switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 305-322, June 2026.
A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

A Guild‐Based Ecological Assessment: Integrating Multi‐Model Approaches to Reveal Key Environmental Associations for Waterbirds in Nansi Lake, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
In Nansi Lake, waterbird guild densities were consistently linked to environmental gradients, with negative responses to nutrients and sediment variables, but positive responses to fish diversity and periphyton. Piscivores specifically favored high dissolved oxygen and low nitrogen conditions.

Stochastic colonization, transient and boom–bust dynamics shape invasions by native taxa

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Boom–bust dynamics (BBD) is a population dynamic pattern described in invasion ecology, where a population suddenly increases (boom) before quickly declining (bust), eventually stabilizing at much lower levels. This initial outbreak is considered a transient phase preceding a long‐term population equilibrium.
