Relationships between chick vocalizations and parental absence in Kentish Plovers

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1437-1447, October 2026.
Chick calls within bird species vary greatly, often in relation to whether parents are present. We studied chick calls in a nidifugous shorebird, the Kentish Plover Anarhynchus alexandrinus, in three circumstances—(1) on the nest with parental presence; (2) on the nest with parental absence; and (3) out‐of‐nest with human observer presence—and ...

Can you really change your stripes? Stable wing ornamentation suggests limited condition‐dependent signalling in female common eiders

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1422-1436, October 2026.
Variation in the expression of white ornaments, such as flank spots or wing stripes, has previously been related to indices of individual quality in birds. We measured the white wing stripes of colour‐banded female common eiders Somateria mollissima in three islands in Iceland from 2014 to 2023, to determine whether the expression of these ornaments is

Time‐stressed Bar‐tailed Godwits exploit novel prey during migratory fuelling

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1681-1695, October 2026.
Long‐distance migratory birds breeding in the Arctic face challenges as earlier snowmelt shifts the timing of vital resources. To keep up with these advancements, birds will need to modify their migration. Higher fuelling rates during stopover have been identified as a critical mechanism for accelerating migration, but this requires adequate food ...

Environmental Filtering, Spatial Structure and Species Associations Shape Estuarine Shorebird Metacommunities Across a Continental Network

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Australian estuaries provide important non‐breeding habitat near the southern end of the East Asian–Australasian Flyway, but many are affected by coastal modification, vegetation expansion and changing hydrological conditions. We examined how habitat composition, habitat configuration, regional connectivity and residual species ...

Circulating miRNAome of avian influenza‐infected ruddy turnstones Arenaria interpres

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are highly conserved small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression post‐transcriptionally. Circulating miRNAs – miRNAs that have been released from cells and circulate in the bloodstream – are relatively stable and interesting ...

Survival of red knots in the northern Gulf of Mexico

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Highly migratory shorebirds are among the fastest declining avian guilds, so determining causes of mortality is critically important for their conservation. Most of these species depend on a specific geographic arrangement of suitable sites that reliably
