This review discusses bacteriophages' roles in soil ecosystems, highlighting their impact on nutrient cycling, plant health, and soil remediation, as well as animal‐mediated phage dispersal mechanisms. Overall, while bacteriophages have potential biotechnological applications, their negative effects on microbial functions and nutrient cycling highlight

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

A more‐than‐human political ecology of Indonesian songbird trade
Abstract Since its inception, conservation science has considered wildlife trade a problem. In focusing on conservation outcomes, conservationists almost completely ignore the welfare of traded animals and plants and the harms they endure. We developed a political ecology approach that incorporates the interconnectedness of people with animals and ...

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

We experimentally evaluated the effects of artificial lighting on mammal visitation patterns at waterholes in north‐central Namibia using motion‐activated camera traps across two dry seasons. Lighting had minimal effects on most species, although gemsboks increased use of artificially lit waterholes and lions reduced nocturnal activity at illuminated ...

Comparison of two volunteer strategies for managing house sparrows in the United States
With a citizen science project, we investigated two volunteer management interventions that prevent house sparrow reproduction: swapping eggs with replicas (Swaps) and removing eggs and nest material (Removals). House Sparrows nested twice as quickly after Removals than Swaps, abandoned nestboxes more often after Swaps than Removals, with native ...

To Tame a Songbird: The Genomics of the Domestication Syndrome in a Songbird Model Species
Abstract Many domesticated animals share a syndromic phenotype marked by a suite of traits that include more variable patterns of coloration, reduced stress, aggression, and altered risk-taking and exploratory behaviors relative to their wild counterparts.
