The impact of boat activities associated with an acoustic fish telemetry study on waterbird populations in a Special Protection Area

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract It is widely recognized that the research techniques used to monitor and study wildlife have the potential to disturb and alter the behavior of the study species. However, other impacts on sensitive, non‐target, species are rarely investigated.

Loggers affect the foraging behaviour and fitness of European shags

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.
Biologgers enable real‐time collection of detailed behavioural and physiological data from wide‐ranging animals, including seabirds inhabiting remote regions. However, the number of studies using tracking devices has not been matched by research exploring the behavioural and fitness costs of deployment, and the effects on data reliability.

Human–Bird Interactions Across Time and Space in a Bronze Age City: The Case of Tell Atchana, Alalakh (Amuq Valley, Turkey)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 597-611, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Birds have played both subsistence and symbolic roles in past human societies, with their significance evolving alongside sedentary lifestyles and agriculture. Although Neolithic settlements in Western Asia primarily relied on domesticated mammals, birds remained a marginal resource, their importance varying by region.

Trends of some wintering waterbirds in Lazio (1993-2006)

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Ornitologia - Research in Ornithology, 2012
Since the 90s, censuses of wintering waterfowl have been carried out in the main wetlands of Lazio. We analysed the trends of 31 species in the 1993-2006 period (base year 1993) by means of TRIM (Trends and Indices Monitoring data) software (Model 3 ...

Differences of water chemistry, bird assemblages and nutrient loads introduced by waterbirds into morphologically similar waterbodies

open access: yesOceanological and Hydrobiological Studies, 2023
The number and structure of waterbirds is affected by the size of the waterbody, the presence of islands and macrophytes, but also by their trophy status. The aims of the study were to compare nutrients in water, numbers of waterbird assemblages, and the

Almost Seven Decades of Coastal Bird Community Recovery Across Three European Seas

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
Our study examined long‐term trends in coastal bird communities across three European seas from 1957 to 2024. We found that bird abundance and diversity have increased over time, although these improvements vary among regions and sites. Protected areas—particularly strictly protected ones—play an important role in supporting these recoveries, but ...

Solar Radiation Affects Bird Distributions but Not Elevational Shifts in European Mountains

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Climate change is driving species towards higher elevations. While local shifts in elevation are well documented, patterns across entire mountain regions are less understood. On a local scale, abiotic factors, such as topography and solar radiation relating to microclimate, affect species distributions and can thus influence the rate of ...

A Practical Method to Assess Bird Strike Risk in Air Operations Using a Count‐Based Risk Mitigation Tool

open access: yesRisk Analysis, Volume 45, Issue 11, Page 3540-3553, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Bird strikes pose a risk to aviation. Collisions between birds and airplanes result in a threat to human lives, economic losses, and material damage. The majority of these collisions occur on airfields during takeoff and landing. Knowing what bird species are present on airfields, in what numbers, and relating that to the extent to which these
