High temperatures and poor habitat reduce nestling condition and survival in a tropical songbird
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.Our study shows that improving habitat quality is critical for riparian wildlife as the climate warms and that supporting long‐term studies is important for detecting cryptic effects of anthropogenic threats. The Australian monsoonal savanna is projected to warm by 3.5°C by 2090, and our models predict an associated average of 2.2% decrease in purple ...

CISO: Species distribution modelling Conditioned on Incomplete Species Observations
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 947-962, March 2026.Abstract Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict species' geographic distributions, serving as critical tools for ecological research and conservation planning. Typically, SDMs relate species occurrences to environmental variables representing abiotic factors, such as temperature, precipitation, and soil properties.

Chemical Reactions, Drowning Swimmers, Owner's Manuals: The Power of Metaphors in Couple Therapy
Family Process, Volume 65, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Over many years of working with couples, I have found that certain metaphors—drawn from images, films, stories, jokes, song lyrics, research findings, or events in my life—can be especially effective and memorable in clarifying and normalizing the diverse experiences of distressed couples.

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Avian frugivores with large bodies and beaks are increasingly threatened due to smaller population sizes, greater energy requirements and higher vulnerability to hunting pressure and illegal wildlife trade. However, it remains unclear whether birds with these traits adopt consistent strategies in their interactions with fleshy‐fruited ...

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1557, Issue 1, March 2026.Recent work on non‐human animal vocalizations has offered new insights into rhythmicity. In an attempt to improve upon methods commonly used in animal rhythm research, we investigated the rhythmic structure of budgerigar song. Our proposed statistical approach showed rhythmicity in human music but not language, and uncovered non‐random structured ...

Semiparametric regression for circular response with application in ecology
Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 54-101, March 2026.ABSTRACT A regression model for a circular response variable depending on a linear or a circular predictor is presented in this paper. The conditional density belongs to a parametric flexible family that allows for asymmetry and varying peakedness around the modal direction.

Recovery of cirl bunting, Emberiza cirlus, song diversity after translocation
Conservation Science and PracticeIn order to improve conservation outcomes translocation or reintroduction of individuals may be necessary. When song learning birds are translocated, changes in the cultural diversity of song repertoires, or abnormal vocalizations, in the new population ...

Trade-Off between Song Complexity and Colorfulness in Parid Birds
DiversityPasserines are the most successfully diversified bird order (around 60% of all avian species). They have developed complicated songs to defend their territories and to attract females for mating that can evolve quickly due to cultural transmission ...
