Microplastics in the menu of Mediterranean zooplankton: Insights from the feeding response of the calanoid copepod Centropages typicus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Microplastic input into the ocean represents an increasing threat to marine biota and may endanger the functioning of marine ecosystems, especially in semi‐enclosed basins, such as the Mediterranean Sea. The size spectrum of microplastics overlaps with that of nano‐microplankton (2–200 μm), thus potentially misleading suspension‐feeding ...

Variation in population size, nest distribution, colony extent, and timing of movements at the largest known parrot colony

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Psittaciformes are among the most threatened birds, and population size and trend estimates are needed to aid conservation. The burrowing parrot Cyanoliseus patagonus is undergoing substantial changes in its population size, due to habitat degradation, trapping for the pet trade, and persecution as crop pest.

Impacts of African elephants and other environmental drivers on trees nested in by critically endangered white‐backed vultures

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The decline of white‐backed vultures Gyps africanus (hereafter termed vultures) across Africa highlights the need to understand their habitat and nesting requirements, especially in protected areas where African elephants Loxodonta africana can impact the trees in which vultures build their nests.

Monitoring active osprey nests with drones is more time efficient and less disturbing than conventional methods

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Drones are used to monitor bird nesting sites at less accessible locations, such as on cliffs, human infrastructure, or within the tree canopy. While there are a growing number of studies documenting avian behavioral responses to various drones, there is a continued need to monitor taxa‐specific responses to different drone models. We explored both the

Climatic variation affects seasonal survival of an alpine bird species

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Mountains are particularly exposed to climate change, and empirical studies have shown that montane bird species are highly sensitive to the ongoing changes. Modelling mortality risks under climatic variation will give insight into species‐specific sensitivity. Willow ptarmigan Lagopus l.

Non‐brooding northern bobwhite resource selection during breeding season in a managed longleaf pine ecosystem

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Investigating resource selection patterns of declining species is critical to developing effective conservation strategies and mitigating negative population trends. We trapped and radio‐collared northern bobwhite Colinus virginianus and recorded the location of each individual three times per week during the northern bobwhite breeding season (April ...

Urbanization, environmental stabilization and temporal persistence of bird species: A view from Latin America [PDF]

, 2018
Background. A scarcely studied consequence of urbanization is the effect of temporal stabilization of the environment on bird communities. This alteration is thought to dampen environmental variations between day and night, seasons and years, promoting a

Use of Apple Airtag to track urban wildlife: Proof of concept with Harris's hawks

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate tracking of the movement of wildlife is important for understanding the behavior, spatial use, and resource selection of a species. While traditional methods like Very High Frequency (VHF) transmitters have been widely used, newer technologies, such as GPS data loggers and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) transmitters ...
