Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Urbanization can modify species interactions, including those between parasites and their hosts. In birds, urbanization can either increase or decrease avian malaria (haemosporidian) infection, depending on host species, parasite, or study location. However, temporal coordination between parasites and hosts, which may impact infection outcomes,

Shifting Syllable Production in an Ex Situ Population of a Critically Endangered Songbird
Zoo Biology, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 29-36, January/February 2026.Bali mynas produced songs containing more syllables under increased anthropogenic disturbance. ABSTRACT Singing is an ecologically important behaviour for songbirds. Syllables function as the building blocks of birdsong, so changes to their production will have implications for overall song structure.

A Regionally Determined Climate‐Informed West Nile Virus Forecast Technique
GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract West Nile virus (WNV) infection has caused over 30,000 human cases of the severe, neuroinvasive form of the disease (West Nile virus Neuroinvasive Disease; WNND) and nearly 3,000 deaths in the U.S. Despite known links to observable climate factors, no effective nationwide WNV or WNND forecast exists.

The Role of Nestling Acoustic Experience in Song Discrimination in a Sparrow [PDF]
, 2020 Oscine songbirds are an ideal system for investigating how early experience affects vocal behavior. Young songbirds face a challenging task: how to recognize and selectively learn only their own species’ song, often during a time-limited window.
