‘O sibling, where art thou?’ – a review of avian sibling recognition with respect to the mammalian literature [PDF]

, 2004
Avian literature on sibling recognition is rare compared to that developed by mammalian researchers. We compare avian and mammalian research on sibling recognition to identify why avian work is rare, how approaches differ and what avian and mammalian ...

Question the Mark: A Review and Assessment of Bat Marking Practices

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
We reviewed a decade of research on bats and conducted a broader systematic review to assess the nature of bat marking practices and the effects and efficacy of marks. Effects of marks on bats, mark details and marking procedures are rarely reported and further research on the effects of marks on bats and more thorough reporting are needed.

Surviving the Squeeze: Genomic Analysis of a Successful Invasion by European Common Wall Lizards (Podarcis muralis) in North America (Ohio, USA)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive species that undergo a founder event may experience a decline in genetic diversity yet still establish successful populations. A possible example is a population of the common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, which was founded following an introduction in the 1950s of a small number of individuals from Europe ...

Seasonal Drivers of Density in a Subarctic Population of Northern Red‐Backed Voles

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
In this study, we analyzed 30 years of northern red‐backed vole population data from Denali National Park to examine how environmental factors influenced density over time. We found that this population showed cyclic population fluctuations with a 2–4 year period, with some variation between sampling sites, and that densities were positively associated
