Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2020 Surrogate-species concepts are prevalent in animal conservation. Such strategies advocate for conservation by proxy, wherein one species is used to represent other taxa to obtain a conservation objective.

Studying interspecific population synchrony: current status and future perspectives
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.Interspecific population synchrony, or co‐fluctuations in the population dynamics and demographic parameters of different species, is an important ecological phenomenon with major implications for the stability of communities and ecosystems. It is also central in the context of biodiversity loss, as interspecific synchrony can influence how ecological ...

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.

The Dentate Gyrus Grows Throughout Life Despite Turnover of Developmentally‐Born Neurons
Hippocampus, Volume 36, Issue 3, May 2026.ABSTRACT Adult‐born hippocampal neurons are highly plastic but there remains uncertainty about the magnitude of neurogenesis and its long‐term functional consequences. Theoretical predictions indicate that adult neurogenesis should lead to substantial growth of the dentate gyrus (DG) granule cell population.

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 3, Page 602-608, May 2026.This study examines the ecophysiological responses of common waxbills to temperature variation in Portugal. We measured body condition and basal metabolic rate (BMR) during summer and winter across two regions in Portugal. Body condition was negatively correlated with temperature, while the relationship between BMR and temperature varied seasonally. In

Programmed DNA elimination of germline development genes in songbirds
Nature Communications, 2019 Songbirds have extensive germline–soma genome differences due to developmental elimination of a germline-specific chromosome (GRC). Here, the authors show that the GRC contains dozens of expressed developmental genes, some of which have been on the GRC ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1462-1479, May 2026.Abstract Species distribution models (SDMs) are often used to understand changes to species' distributions and their habitats under different land‐use scenarios, enabling decision makers to prioritize areas for management efforts and balance environmental conservation with socio‐economic demands on the landscape.
