Inconsistent scientific methods hamper the management of drone use near birds
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 2, February 2025.Inconsistencies in the scientific methods used among studies investigating drone‐induced bird disturbance make it difficult to compare and combine results between studies. This results in a lack of robust evidence which hampers efforts to manage the use of drones near birds.

Environmental Variability Shapes Life History of the World's Birds
Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 2, February 2025.Theory suggests life history plays a key role in the ability of organisms to persist under fluctuating environmental conditions. Synthesising a collection of global data resources, we demonstrate a link between environmental variability and species' pace of life. Additionally, we highlight the importance of contextualising rates of environmental change
