Chewing Lice From the Wings of Migrating Shorebirds: Diversity, Host Specificity, and Associations With Host Body Condition. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated the diversity, prevalence, and abundance of chewing lice in 1403 individuals representing 20 migratory shorebird species from the families Charadriidae and Scolopacidae, identifying 26 louse species through microscopy and DNA barcoding.

Citizen science reveals host-switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change. [PDF]
Med Vet EntomolA 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 ...

Season, Microclimate and Shoreline Disturbance Interactively Shape Bird Functional Diversity. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis 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 ...

Global review of shorebird tracking data to identify research gaps and conservation priorities. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Tracking has enabled rapid advances in knowledge of the movement behavior and habitat use of shorebirds and is thus making a growing contribution to their conservation. However, realizing the full potential that tracking holds for conservation involves understanding what has been performed on shorebirds to date and identifying regional and ...
