The Genetic and Morphological Basis of Local Adaptation to Elevational Extremes in an Alpine Finch
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.We investigated morphological and genetic variation in the Sierra Nevada Gray‐crowned Rosy Finch to identify traits important for local adaptation in alpine environments. By combining trait measurements with genome‐wide analyses, we uncovered loci linked to thermoregulation, altitude adaptation, and cold tolerance.

Comparing bird communities within shrubby transmission line rights-of-way managed by mowing or by selective herbicide application in Maine and New Hampshire [PDF]
, 2018 In the northeastern U.S., thousands of miles of shrub-dominated transmission line rights-of-way (ROW) extend across the landscape and provide some of the largest and most stable shrubland habitats in the region.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.Our research provides novel insights into the genetic and physiological underpinnings of personality variation in wild birds, specifically focusing on the yellow‐rumped flycatcher (Ficedula zanthopygia). Through rigorous field investigations and genetic analyses, we demonstrate that female flycatchers with higher genetic diversity and better body ...

Boom‐Bust Dynamics Drive Community‐Wide Dietary Structuring in Desert‐Dwelling Raptors
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.We investigated how boom‐bust productivity dynamics affected dietary structuring within raptor communities of an arid bioregion. We found that higher productivity was associated with high dietary overlap, lower niche breadth and greater foraging on small mammals; however, raptors that were nomadic exhibited greater specialisation regardless of ...

Using SMS surveys to understand songbird ownership and shark product consumption in Indonesia
OryxThe unsustainable use of wildlife increases the risk of species extinction. In biodiversity-rich Indonesia, information on the scale of wildlife use is limited and requires further study.

The Interactive Effects of Annual Climatic Variability and Rangeland Management on the Reproductive Success of Dickcissels (Spiza americana) [PDF]
, 2017 Grassland songbird populations have declined due to poor rangeland management and habitat fragmentation. Few studies have taken into account variation in climatic conditions in tallgrass prairie systems when determining the factors contributing to ...
