Circularly Polarized Structural Color Pigments Tunable Across the Full Visible Spectrum

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 6, 9 February 2026.
By infusing black dye into spherical shells of polymerized cholesteric liquid crystal, blue, green and red omnidirectional retroreflectors of circularly polarized structural color are achieved. They can be laid out on arbitrary surfaces without any need for index matching binder to define graphical information for robots and Augmented Reality devices ...

The Genetic and Morphological Basis of Local Adaptation to Elevational Extremes in an Alpine Finch

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We investigated morphological and genetic variation in the Sierra Nevada Gray‐crowned Rosy Finch to identify traits important for local adaptation in alpine environments. By combining trait measurements with genome‐wide analyses, we uncovered loci linked to thermoregulation, altitude adaptation, and cold tolerance.

The effect of white‐tailed deer density on breeding songbirds in Delaware

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2013
Most population goals for white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are based solely on deer data, with little consideration for other parts of the ecosystem. A wider ecological approach is needed for more justifiable target deer densities.

Nocturnally migrating songbirds drift when they can and compensate when they must

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
The shortest possible migratory route for birds is not always the best route to travel. Substantial research effort has established that birds in captivity are capable of orienting toward the direction of an intended goal, but efforts to examine how free-

Simple Sequence Repeat Gene Polymorphisms in Yellow‐Rumped Flycatcher With Gender‐Specific Associations and Personality Variations

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Our research provides novel insights into the genetic and physiological underpinnings of personality variation in wild birds, specifically focusing on the yellow‐rumped flycatcher (Ficedula zanthopygia). Through rigorous field investigations and genetic analyses, we demonstrate that female flycatchers with higher genetic diversity and better body ...

Assessing factors associated with changes in the numbers of birds visiting gardens in winter: Are predators partly to blame?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
The factors governing the recent declines observed in many songbirds have received much research interest, in particular whether increases of avian predators have had a negative effect on any of their prey species.

Boom‐Bust Dynamics Drive Community‐Wide Dietary Structuring in Desert‐Dwelling Raptors

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We investigated how boom‐bust productivity dynamics affected dietary structuring within raptor communities of an arid bioregion. We found that higher productivity was associated with high dietary overlap, lower niche breadth and greater foraging on small mammals; however, raptors that were nomadic exhibited greater specialisation regardless of ...

BIRDS AND SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT IN MEDITERRANEAN RIPARIAN AREAS: Bird studies in the RIPIDURABLE project [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
RIPIDURABLE is an INTERREG IIIC European Program involving 10 partners from Portugal, Spain, France and Greece. Scientists, technicians and local/regional authorities worked together to integrate knowledge, knowhow and practice, towards a rational ...

Facets and Typed Relations as Tools for Reasoning Processes in Information Retrieval

open access: yes, 2014
Faceted arrangement of entities and typed relations for representing different associations between the entities are established tools in knowledge representation. In this paper, a proposal is being discussed combining both tools to draw inferences along

Passive Acoustic Data as Phenological Distributions: Uncovering Signals of Temporal Ecology

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Passive acoustic monitoring has the potential to broaden our understanding of vocal animals' annual phenological cycles throughout and beyond the breeding season. We present standardized analytical methods for quantifying vocal phenology from passive acoustic recordings processed by classification algorithms, guided by clearly articulated hypotheses ...
