Season, Microclimate and Shoreline Disturbance Interactively Shape Bird Functional Diversity
This study examined the seasonal and spatial patterns of bird functional diversity across natural and urbanized coastal sites in Ghana. We found that natural shorelines undergo significant seasonal functional reorganization, whereas urbanized areas maintain stable, generalist‐dominated communities year‐round, losing the temporal dynamics that support ...

Apparent Survival of Territorial Golden Eagles Using Non‐Invasive Genetic Profiling
In a novel study for the species, DNA was extracted from moulted feathers over 4 years involving 21% of the Scottish population of territorial golden eagles, and individuals' genetic profiles were analysed for apparent survival rates. Results showed sexual differences but not between two sub‐populations; very few cases of breeding dispersal were ...

Birds Decorating Their Nests With Plastic May Suffer Less Egg Depredation by Corvids
Many birds add anthropogenic material to the nest. We presented artificial nests on the ground in spring, each with two quail eggs and half of them decorated with pieces of white plastic. The plastic induced a neophobic response in territorial European magpies, reducing the rate of nest predation.

Black grouse Lyrurus tetrix declines continue throughout much of temperate Europe, following habitat loss and population isolation, associated with reduced productivity. In northern England, only 1437 lekking males remained in 2014, genetically isolated from other UK populations, and typified by low productivity but high adult survival.
