PARASITES OF NEBRASKA PHEASANTS

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1972
Parasite prevalence, intensity, and diversity in Nebraska pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) were studied during the fall of 1971. Fifty-four of 63 (86%) pheasants examined for helminths harbored at least one parasite species. Heterakis gallinarum (65% of the pheasants), Choanotaenia infundibulum (48%), Echinoparyphium recurvation (1.6%), and Zygocotyle ...

From Barns to Bushes: Exploring the ECOFF‐Based Non‐Wild‐Type Status of Campylobacter spp. in Pets, Livestock, Synanthropic Birds and Wild Animals in Northwestern Italy

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 30-44, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to both humans and animals. Zoonotic bacteria, such as Campylobacter, contribute to human infections and the spread of AMR, particularly through livestock, pets and wildlife. We investigated the prevalence, distribution and EUCAST ECOFF‐based wild‐type (WT) vs.

The Role of Campus as an Urban Multiuse Protected Area in Bird Nocturnal Roosting Habitat Function

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Campus green spaces are essential for providing critical nocturnal habitats, playing a key role in supporting urban bird species in fragmented environments. Seasonal variations significantly influence nocturnal bird roosting site selection, with birds adapting their roosting patterns to changing environmental conditions throughout the year.

Larger native woods with less conifer plantation support greater populations of the marsh tit Poecile palustris, a declining forest specialist

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Many forest specialist birds are in widespread decline across Europe. In Britain, marsh tits are an indicator species of mature native woodlands, but have suffered an 81% population decline since the 1960s. We assessed whether habitat degradation during the mid 20th century, through the widespread conversion of native deciduous woodland to conifer ...
