Rapid responses of marsh birds to large‐scale tidal wetland restoration in California's Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Tidal wetland restoration is widely used to recover ecosystem function in modified estuaries, yet uncertainty remains about how quickly wildlife communities respond. Early trajectories are central to evaluating restoration success, guiding adaptive management, and building ecosystem resilience in engineered landscapes. Marsh birds

Molecular and Serological Screening of West Nile and Usutu Virus in Birds and Humans: A Sentinel Study in Finland

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
We developed sensitive real‐time PCR assays for West Nile virus and Usutu virus to screen bird and human samples in Finland. Although no positive samples were detected, active migratory flyways and recent cases in neighbouring countries highlight the risk of future introduction and the need for continued surveillance.

Effect of feed supplements on the occurrence of coccidia oocysts in the digestive tract of pheasants

Acta Fytotechnica et Zootechnica, 2016
The occurrence of coccidiosis is an enormous problem of pheasant farming. The aim of this study is to show, that this disease can be cured by unconventional dietary supplements.

Isotopic evidence for the consumption of Galliformes by the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) in rural southern England

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
Anthropogenic resource subsidies can drive mesopredator population growth, altering predator–prey dynamics. The red fox Vulpes vulpes is a generalist canid that can readily exploit such subsidies. In the UK, tens of millions of pheasants Phasianus colchicus and red‐legged partridges Alectoris rufa are released annually for sport shooting, potentially ...

Feathers and flu: identifying data gaps in avian influenza host dynamics to prioritize wildlife conservation Plumas y gripe: identificación de datos faltantes en la dinámica de hospedadores de la influenza aviar para priorizar la conservación de la vida silvestre

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 225, Issue 1, September 2026.
We describe the host response continuum for highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV), including the continuum of host responses to HPAIV infection and exposure based on the primary axis of host competence, ability to infect other hosts, and host vulnerability.

What we know about wildlife outcomes of the conservation reserve program: A meta‐analysis

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is one of the most extensive private‐land conservation programs in the United States, aimed at mitigating habitat loss and supporting biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. Individual studies of CRP effects on wildlife report mixed results, necessitating a comprehensive synthesis.

云南省昭通地区雉鸡地理亚种分布的研究

野生动物学报, 1992
作者对1983年和1988年在昭通地区采集的50只雄雉鸡标本进行了分析鉴定。结果表明,云南省雉鸡的3个亚种均在昭通地区分布,即云南亚种（Phasianus colchicus elegans）、滇南亚种（Phasianus colchicus rothschildi）和贵州亚种（Phasianus colchicus decollatus）.本文较全面地查清了该地区雉鸡亚种的分布状况并首次发现这3个亚种的杂交居间型,记述了几个杂交居间型的发生地点。

Primary nesting season designations on Conservation Reserve Program lands: Grassland bird breeding phenology and stakeholder perspectives

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
Primary nesting season (PNS) dates under the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) span the peak breeding of most grassland bird species, but some initiate breeding before and some continue after PNS, including species of conservation concern. Stakeholders disagree on PNS suitability, but agree that CRP “manages for the most”‐ a compromise between bird ...
