Diet, phenology and body size shape nutrient release by songbirds

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animals can dramatically alter ecosystem structure and function through the cycling and transport of nutrients in their waste. While birds are particularly capable of influencing nutrient cycles due to their high mobility, abundance, metabolism and functional diversity,

Waterbird zoogeochemical effects shape wetland nutrient dynamics and algal communities in Laurentian Great Lakes coastal freshwater wetlands

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Distinct waterbird species influence nutrient cycling through guano contributions in Great Lakes coastal wetlands. Waterbird‐derived nutrients favour distinct algal communities and wetland sediments rapidly remove waterbird nutrients via biogeochemical processes.

Long‐term patterns of breeding range expansion mirror invasion dynamics during recolonisation of a semi‐colonial raptor

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We used a unique long‐term dataset of population recovery in the Osprey Pandion haliaetus to reveal the similarity in spatial patterns underpinning recolonisations and biological invasions. Our findings highlight the importance of rare pioneering movements in driving range expansion, and the value of conservation interventions such as species ...

Early results and lessons learned from biomanipulation and chemical restoration of a eutrophic shallow lake

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Over 44% of European lakes fail to meet ecological quality standards, prompting substantial investment in lake restoration to achieve good ecological status. Unfortunately, effects are often short‐lived due to persistent internal phosphorus (P) loading and strong cyprinid‐driven bottom‐up control, which limits water quality ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...
