Food Availability Cannot Explain Dispersal and Settlement Decisions of a Grassland Bird

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We test a commonly assumed explanation for animal movements—namely that food availability shapes where animals disperse to. Based on the results of four strong predictions, 3 years of data, and hundreds of individual birds, we show that food cannot explain breeding dispersal in this system, and we propose alternative explanations consistent with our ...

Western Bluebirds (Sialia mexicana) Use Public Information for Prospecting but Not Ultimate Nest Site Selection

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Prospecting Western Bluebirds demonstrated a strong response to public information simulating reproductive success within nest boxes deployed in agricultural systems, but this initial attraction did not translate to increased box selection the following breeding season.

Comparative foraging ecology of lynx and coyotes in three Gulf of Alaska national parks

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Consumers exhibit varying degrees of dietary specialization, with foraging strategies shaped by both evolutionary history and local food availability. In boreal systems, Canada lynx are considered snowshoe hare specialists, whereas coyotes are classically generalist foragers capable of exploiting diverse resources.

Distribution of Legacy and Emerging PFASs in a Terrestrial Ecosystem Located near a Fluorochemical Manufacturing Facility

open access: yesToxics
This study investigated the distribution of 29 legacy and emerging per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in soil, nettles, invertebrates, and plasma and feathers of great tits (Parus major) of a terrestrial ecosystem near a fluorochemical plant ...

Songbird 101

open access: yesWildlife Rehabilitation Bulletin, 2011
This paper provides tips on various aspects of organizing a songbird rehabilitation program. Whether one works in a large center with several volunteers or is a home–based rehabilitator, developing procedures, protocols, and policies helps one manage each day more productively and provides continuity of care for each songbird patient.

Multi‐year partner fidelity is associated with higher annual reproductive output in a biparental subtropical shorebird

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Partner fidelity is a key component of reproductive strategies in socially monogamous species, yet its adaptive value remains context dependent and poorly understood outside environments with short breeding seasons. In most bird species, partners may remain together or re‐pair between successive nesting attempts, but it remains unclear which components

Multi-year change and annual variation in fall migratory timing of songbirds captured across a 19-year time span in northeastern Pennsylvania, USA

open access: yesJournal of Field Ornithology
Although there is abundant evidence that timing of spring migration in landbirds is influenced by annual variation in temperature and longer-term warming due to climate change, much less is known about how these factors influence fall migration ...

Between birch and berries: seasonal dietary niche partitioning among sympatric alpine herbivorous birds

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Niche partitioning is important for the coexistence of closely related species, allowing species to reduce overlap in resource use despite shared ecological requirements. In alpine environments, harsh climatic conditions and low habitat complexity constrain opportunities for ecological segregation, making seasonal resource fluctuation especially ...

Plasticity in parental care: Interspecific competitor cues shape biparental cooperation in a burying beetle

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1358-1371, August 2026.
Our study contributes to our understanding of the effects of interspecific competition in species with biparental care where male and female parents must somehow coordinate their response to interspecific competition. Abstract Interspecific competition is an important evolutionary driver of many species' life histories and behaviours, arising wherever ...
