Effectiveness of conservation lands in Mexico for safeguarding terrestrial endemic species from the human‐induced extinction crisis

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Across 1639 endemic Mexican species, we show that most species' ranges coincide with moderate to high human pressure, while existing conservation lands cover only a small fraction of their distributions. This spatial mismatch indicates that current conservation–land networks are insufficient to prevent future biodiversity loss. Substantial expansion of

Understanding the motivations for keeping wild birds in the semi-arid region of Brazil

Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine, 2018
Background Birds are kept as pets around the world, and bird-keeping is an ancient and widespread practice, constituting one of the main reasons for the decline of some species.

Emergence of Livestock‐Associated Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST398 in Wild Birds, Brazil

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
In a protected forest fragment in southern Brazil, 197 wild birds were sampled, with 12.2% carrying Staphylococcus aureus. Two MRSA ST398 strains, the first reported in Brazilian wild birds, were identified. Genomic analysis revealed resistance and virulence genes, linking these strains to pigs and underscoring the critical need for resistance ...

Sporophila maximiliani

, 2022
Sporophila maximiliani We were unable to trace any records from Alagoas. Therefore, we consider the putative occurrence of this species in the state mentioned by Sick (1997) to be speculative. See the species’ range based on documentary evidence in Ubaid et al. (2018).

Historical anthropogenic stressors affect bird ecology and feather development in neotropical forests

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 10, October 2025.
Fragmentation and habitat loss driven by agricultural expansion have significantly affected bird ecology. Additionally, the growing use of agrochemicals impacts ecosystems and avian communities. Tools such as isotopic analysis provide reliable proxies for assessing organisms' habitat use and diet, and can also reflect environmental alterations, such as

Understorey bird responses to the abandonment of artisanal gold mining in Guyana

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 10, Page 2774-2786, October 2025.
Whilst many forest‐dependent birds will avoid the exposed mine centre, diversity at the immediate edge has the potential to recover, particularly in smaller and older mines. As we have found that natural vegetation recovery occurs at the mine edges and not within the centre, targeted restoration efforts might focus on mine edges to enhance recovery ...

Changes in land cover drove the recent range expansion of a tropical farmland bird

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 9, September 2025.
Several bird species associated with agricultural landscapes in the Palearctic and in the Nearctic (i.e. farmland birds) have been experiencing severe population declines since the 1970s, mainly due to habitat loss driven by agricultural intensification.
