Threshold Responses of Bird Communities to Human Footprint: Testing the Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis and Implications for Biodiversity Conservation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Human activities, quantified by the Human Footprint Index (HFP), drive biodiversity declines, with birds serving as sensitive indicators of ecosystem health. In northeastern Inner Mongolia, Threshold Indicator Taxa Analysis (TITAN) identified a community composition shift at HFP ≈ 14, with species‐specific thresholds ranging from 3.37 to 43.22 ...

Contrasted effects of human pressure on biodiversity in the UK: a multi‐taxonomic assessment using airborne environmental DNA

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
Human activities have significantly modified habitats, resulting in a global biodiversity crisis. In this study, we leveraged the first national‐scale biodiversity survey based on airborne environmental DNA, comparing the effects of three human pressure indices increasing in complexity and scope – a binary urban–rural index, an index integrating land ...

Comparison of methods for estimating wild turkey poult survival

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.
Wild turkey poult survival is a challenging metric to measure in wild turkey reproduction, and interpreting this information can have significant implications for managers at the population scale. Flushing wild turkey broods and radio‐tagging poults produced similar estimates of poult survival over a 56‐day monitoring period post‐hatching. Both methods

Positive selection underlies Faster-Z evolution of gene expression in birds. [PDF]

, 2015
The elevated rate of evolution for genes on sex chromosomes compared to autosomes (Fast-X or Fast-Z evolution) can result either from positive selection in the heterogametic sex, or from non-adaptive consequences of reduced relative effective population ...

Current understanding of lymphoproliferative disease virus in wild turkeys

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.
Lymphoproliferative disease virus (LPDV) is a retrovirus that can cause a spectrum of disease in wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo), from subclinical infection to lymphoid tumors. We reviewed the literature to summarize our current understanding of LPDV, including disease presentation, surveillance, impact on fitness, spatiotemporal distribution, and ...

Ecovoltaic solar energy development can promote grassland bird communities

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 12, Page 3341-3354, December 2025.
Our findings suggest that properly sited and developed ecovoltaic solar facilities in human altered landscapes can improve habitat for birds and other wildlife, but further research is needed to understand which species may benefit most from these novel ecosystems.

Inhibitory control tests in non‐human animals: validity, reliability, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2482-2507, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Inhibitory control, the ability to control impulsive or pre‐learned behaviour in order to reach a more rewarding goal, is essential in many aspects of normal life. In non‐human animals, better inhibitory control performances have been associated with a larger brain, better problem‐solving skills, and fitness benefits.
