Transformation of temporal sequences in the zebra finch auditory system

eLife, 2016
This study examines how temporally patterned stimuli are transformed as they propagate from primary to secondary zones in the thalamorecipient auditory pallium in zebra finches.

Evaluation of drones as a tool for multi‐species nest surveys on linear rights‐of‐way

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
This paper examines the use of drones with infrared cameras as a tool in the detection of bird nests on linear rights‐of‐way, in comparison to standard ground‐based nest surveys. Abstract The varying application of drone use in wildlife research has expanded in recent years. With the ability to utilize a variety of different sensors (e.g., infrared [IR]

Using decision analysis to develop a framework for nest protection for threatened birds

Oryx
The 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

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 ...

High temperatures and poor habitat reduce nestling condition and survival in a tropical songbird

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
Our study shows that improving habitat quality is critical for riparian wildlife as the climate warms and that supporting long‐term studies is important for detecting cryptic effects of anthropogenic threats. The Australian monsoonal savanna is projected to warm by 3.5°C by 2090, and our models predict an associated average of 2.2% decrease in purple ...

The Effects of Owl Decoys and Non-threatening Objects on Bird Feeding Behavior [PDF]

, 2012
As traditional agricultural practices change, the scarecrow has also been renovated and modernized to include mock natural predators, such as owls, hawks, and falcons instead of comical human representations.

CISO: Species distribution modelling Conditioned on Incomplete Species Observations

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 947-962, March 2026.
Abstract Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict species' geographic distributions, serving as critical tools for ecological research and conservation planning. Typically, SDMs relate species occurrences to environmental variables representing abiotic factors, such as temperature, precipitation, and soil properties.

Using SMS surveys to understand songbird ownership and shark product consumption in Indonesia

Oryx
The 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.

Chemical Reactions, Drowning Swimmers, Owner's Manuals: The Power of Metaphors in Couple Therapy

Family Process, Volume 65, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Over many years of working with couples, I have found that certain metaphors—drawn from images, films, stories, jokes, song lyrics, research findings, or events in my life—can be especially effective and memorable in clarifying and normalizing the diverse experiences of distressed couples.

Large‐Bodied and Wide‐Beaked Avian Frugivores Show Greater Specialisation in Tropical Seed Dispersal Networks

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Avian frugivores with large bodies and beaks are increasingly threatened due to smaller population sizes, greater energy requirements and higher vulnerability to hunting pressure and illegal wildlife trade. However, it remains unclear whether birds with these traits adopt consistent strategies in their interactions with fleshy‐fruited ...
