Linking eBird data with high spatiotemporal remote sensing products to estimate occupancy of bird populations across the island of Ireland

Ibis, EarlyView.
The vast increase in biodiversity data generated through citizen science initiatives, alongside a growing suite of remote sensing products and advanced modelling tools, has opened new avenues for rapidly, accurately and efficiently monitoring species trends to inform conservation, management and policy.

Climate Change Reduces Habitat Suitability of the Endemic Iranian Ground‐Jay (Podoces pleskei): Spatial Analyses to Guide Conservation Strategies

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Pleske's ground jay (Podoces pleskei), an endemic bird of Iran's drylands, faces severe habitat loss due to climate change and human activities. Using ecological niche models and GIS analyses, we identified key environmental drivers of its distribution and found that 52% of suitable habitat is projected to be lost, with much of the remaining range ...

Whole System Ecohydrological Change Following Natural Flood Management and a Five‐Year Beaver Reintroduction Trial

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Once‐common beavers have been absent from the British landscape for centuries, but wild beaver populations have returned in recent years as part of reintroduction schemes, including releases into monitored enclosures. In North Yorkshire, such a release of Eurasian beavers took place in 2019.

Emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) diet is driven by the gradient of C3 and C4 plant availability

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Intraspecific variation in diet is often influenced by geographic location, resource availability, trophic position, or foraging specialization and can result in environmental changes exerting heterogeneous effects across the species' distribution.

Quantifying range‐ and topographical biases in weather surveillance radar measures of migratory bird activity

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation
Weather radar systems have become a central tool in the study of nocturnal bird migration. Yet, while studies have sought to validate weather radar data through comparison to other sampling techniques, few have explicitly examined the impact of range and

The Wind of Change: Mapping Wind Energy Growth and Multi‐Species Vulnerability in Sardinia, Mediterranean

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 285-297, June 2026.
The rapid expansion of wind energy across the Mediterranean region calls for more advanced tools to assess and mitigate its impacts on biodiversity. In this study, we present an innovative approach combining 13‐year satellite imagery analysis and ecological modelling, to assess the spatiotemporal overlap between wind energy development and habitat ...

Phenology of migrating game birds in Italy based on citizen science data

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 3, May 2026.
Studying the timing of the seasonal movements of migratory birds, known as migration phenology, is crucial for managing and conserving migratory bird populations. This is particularly important for migratory game bird populations in Europe because, according to the EU, migratory birds should not be hunted during their breeding season or during return ...

Comparing transect survey and WSR-88D radar methods for monitoring daily changes in stopover migrant communities

, 2012
For decades, researchers have successfully used ground-based surveys to understand localized spatial and temporal patterns in stopover habitat use by migratory birds.

On traits matching and the modular organization of food web and occurrence networks

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 5, Page 837-850, May 2026.
What mechanisms shape ecological networks? In Paraná River piscivores, species traits and abundance scaling promote modular structures. Our findings reveal how communities self‐organize and highlight the conditions needed to sustain them. Abstract Modularity and nestedness have been observed recurrently across different ecological networks, including ...
