The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Citizen science reveals host‐switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 305-322, June 2026.
A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

Sexing and ageing Rose‐ringed ParakeetsPsittacula krameriin Britain [PDF]

Ringing & Migration, 2004
Although Rose‐ringed Parakeets Psittacula krameri over three years old can easily be sexed due to the males’ rose‐coloured neck‐rings and black bibs, sexually immature males and females are considered impossible to separate in the hand. The biometrics of males and females overlap but males tend to be slightly larger than females in all measurements. We

Fine‐Scale Genomic Divergence in the Amazonian Pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) Highlights the Need for Local Management Strategies

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater habitats face significant human disturbances globally, impacting food security and ecosystems. Protected areas can mitigate biodiversity loss, but limited data on population connectivity hinders conservation management. This study examines pirarucu (Arapaima gigas), a heavily exploited and threatened Amazonian fish, using genomic ...

Individual variation in animal communication: from species averages to unique voices

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2625-2640, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The comparative study of communicative behaviour in non‐human animals, especially primates, has yielded crucial insights into the evolution of human language. This research, mostly focused on the species and population level, has improved our understanding of the various socio‐ecological factors that shape communication systems.
