Mechanisms of Body Alignment in a Diurnal Songbird Migrant
Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 6, Page 399-411, June 2026.The graphical abstract illustrates the body alignment mechanism of a diurnal songbird migrant, the dunnock (Prunella modularis). Dunnocks consistently expressed an angular body alignment, with inter‐individual variation at the level of the population.

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 6, Page 373-384, June 2026.Scoring of male courtship behaviour in Dolomedes minor revealed no effect of female mating status on courtship duration or sequence structure, but males delayed the initiation of courtship when encountering previously mated females. ABSTRACT The evolution of male courtship rituals has traditionally been attributed to female mate selection, but may also

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 305-322, June 2026.A 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 ...

Corticosterone as a Physiological Biomarker: Decoding the Environment‐Cort‐Energy Paradigm
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Corticosterone (cort) is increasingly used as a biomarker in wildlife conservation, though debate remains over which measures best capture physiological and environmental relationships. Using structural equation modeling on a 14‐year dataset, we evaluated the total hormone, free hormone, and CBG profile hypotheses linking cort, energetic state, and ...

Separating Overlapping Birdsongs Enhances the Reliability of Avian Vocal Activity Analysis
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Monitoring avian vocalizations plays a crucial role in biodiversity assessment and ecological management, yet overlapping acoustic signals in natural environments often hinder accurate recognition and estimation. This study addresses that challenge by developing and validating a deep learning‐based source separation framework specifically designed for ...

Using decision analysis to develop a framework for nest protection for threatened birds
OryxThe regent honeyeater Anthochaera phrygia is a Critically Endangered Australian songbird, with current population estimates of < 300 individuals remaining in the wild. Low nest success is a factor preventing the recovery of the population, and management

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.The study investigates genetic divergence among white‐crowned sparrow subspecies across North America, revealing three to four distinct genetic clusters based on genome‐wide SNP analysis, particularly highlighting divergence in the Z chromosome. Notably, Z. l. pugetensis consistently diverges from other populations, and a north–south split within Z. l.
