Molecular evidence of domoic acid production in the high Arctic Qikiqtaaluk Region of Inuit Nunangat

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 6, November 2026.
Abstract Domoic acid, a neurotoxin produced by the diatom Pseudo‐nitzschia, is an increasing concern in Arctic marine environments. Shellfish harvesting occurs in many Canadian Arctic waterways in Inuit Nunangat and is the main vector for human domoic acid exposure, but most toxin monitoring has occurred in the Pacific Arctic region.

Evaluating the sensitivity of raptors to wind turbine collisions: An integrative approach based on GPS tracking

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 4, October–December 2026.
Quantitative information on bird flight behaviour is essential to assess the sensitivity of different bird species to wind turbine collisions and inform wind turbine siting to minimise collision risk. By integrating (1) time spent in flight, (2) proportion of flights at risk height and (3) distance travelled from the nest location, derived from GPS ...

At‐nest drone monitoring causes minimal behavioural disturbance in breeding Eurasian Curlew

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 4, October–December 2026.
Incubating Eurasian Curlew taken with DJI Mavic 3T optical camera at a height of 25 m. Drone‐based monitoring of breeding Curlew in lowland England caused minimal behavioural disturbance. Although incubating birds frequently looked up at the drone, displacement from the nest was rare, suggesting that drones can provide an effective low‐impact ...

Osteological correlates of the respiratory and vascular systems in the neural canals of Mesozoic ornithurines Ichthyornis and Janavis

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2725-2738, October 2026.
Abstract In birds, the neural canal houses a variety of anatomical structures including the spinal cord, meninges, spinal vasculature, and respiratory diverticula. Among these, paramedullary diverticula and the extradural dorsal spinal vein may leave behind osteological correlates in the form of pneumatic foramina and fossae, and a bilobed geometry of ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2190-2213, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2253-2264, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

Breeding on a Tropical Island Proves More Difficult Than Expected: The Ongoing Breeding Failure of Laysan Albatross on Clarion Island

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study establishes essential baseline data on the current status, colony dynamics, and key threats facing the Laysan Albatrosses on Clarion Island and offers critical insights to guide future conservation and management efforts. ABSTRACT In the 1980s, the Laysan Albatross (Phoebastria immutabilis) expanded its breeding range into the eastern ...

Measuring Bird Morphology From Field Photographs

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
We evaluated a digital photography approach based on the pinhole camera model to estimate bird morphometric traits from single images, testing its accuracy under controlled conditions and across 37 species photographed in the field. Photographic measurements showed strong agreement with museum and database‐derived traits (ρ = 0.82–0.95), with wing and ...
