Relationships between chick vocalizations and parental absence in Kentish Plovers

Ibis, EarlyView.
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 ...

Pickering Brook Salt Marsh Restoration - Phase II [PDF]

, 2005
In the early 1900’s, the majority of coastal salt marshes in New England were ditched as part of an aggressive mosquito control program. In an attempt to eradicate mosquito-breeding habitat, open water areas were drained by a series of ditches excavated ...

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

Ibis, EarlyView.
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

Post‐hatching development of the remote‐tactile bill‐tip organ in precocial shorebirds (Scolopacidae)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Juvenile scolopacid shorebirds possess well‐developed osteological correlates of tactile bill‐tip organs, indicating sensory systems for remote‐touch foraging are present from early life. Ontogenetic changes in bill‐tip morphology suggest ecological specialisation and interspecific variation develop later, after fledging in these highly precocial ...

Microbial influence on the formation and subsequent changes of vertebrate tracks: field experiments on present‐day coastal sediments

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The presence of microbial mats is often invoked to explain the good preservation of vertebrate tracks, because they can cover and biostabilize such structures. However, microbial influence on the sediment properties when the track is made and on the track characteristics has not been so thoroughly analysed.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Identifying and Quantifying Conflicts Between Humans and Terrestrial Mammals in Great Britain

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
We conducted a literature review to identify conflicts between humans and terrestrial mammals in Great Britain. A modified Generic Impact Scoring System was applied to all conflicts so that mammals could be ranked according to their level of impact to help identify the most damaging species and to aid decision‐making. ABSTRACT Introduction Interactions

A review of the biology and management of horseshoe crabs, with emphasis on Florida populations [PDF]

, 2007
In Florida, some horseshoe crabs are fished for eel bait, but they are fished principally by the marine-life industry, which collects the animals live for resale as aquarium, research, or educational specimens.
