DNA metabarcoding reveals wolf dietary patterns in the northern Alps and Jura Mountains
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Understanding predator–prey interactions is crucial for wildlife management and human–wildlife coexistence, particularly in multi‐use landscapes such as western Europe. As wolves Canis lupus recolonize their former habitats, knowledge of their diet is essential for conservation, management and public acceptance.

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.Autonomous recording units (ARUs) are increasingly used for passive acoustic monitoring, but deploying them in remote or inaccessible locations remains challenging. We developed and field‐tested a lightweight, low‐cost floating platform for drone‐assisted deployment and retrieval of ARUs in wetland interiors.

Cross-species conservation in the regulation of parvalbumin by perineuronal nets
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2023 Parvalbumin (PV) neurons play an integral role in regulating neural dynamics and plasticity. Therefore, understanding the factors that regulate PV expression is important for revealing modulators of brain function. While the contribution of PV neurons to

The singing phenology of Bachman's sparrow: implications for monitoring programs
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We used automated recording units, weather data, and multiple logistic regression with generalized estimating equations to determine the annual singing period and influences on singing behavior of Bachman's sparrow in Texas, USA, surveying daily for 2 years.

Diet, phenology and body size shape nutrient release by songbirds
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animals can dramatically alter ecosystem structure and function through the cycling and transport of nutrients in their waste. While birds are particularly capable of influencing nutrient cycles due to their high mobility, abundance, metabolism and functional diversity,

The Complete Genome of a Songbird
Abstract Bird genomes are the smallest among amniotes, but remain challenging to assemble due to their structural complexity. This study presents the first fully phased, diploid, telomere-to-telomere (T2T) reference genome for the zebra finch ( Taeniopygia guttata ), a model ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Migrating songbirds regularly use shallow torpor (up to 98% of birds for some species) to save energy (up to 42%) during inactive periods. This Ruby‐crowned Kinglet Corthylio calendula that was captured after a spring snowstorm highlights the value of being able to save energy when encountering unfavourable conditions.
