Seasonal Exploitation of Migratory Waterfowl at Natufian el‐Wad Terrace, Mount Carmel, Israel

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 555-570, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Increased avian exploitation is a hallmark of broad‐spectrum subsistence strategies in the Levantine Natufian culture (15,000–11,700 cal. BP). However, detailed publications of bird remains from the Natufian are scant, especially regarding the Early Natufian, and the available evidence shows high inter‐site variability that begs explanation ...

Human–Bird Interactions Across Time and Space in a Bronze Age City: The Case of Tell Atchana, Alalakh (Amuq Valley, Turkey)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 597-611, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Birds have played both subsistence and symbolic roles in past human societies, with their significance evolving alongside sedentary lifestyles and agriculture. Although Neolithic settlements in Western Asia primarily relied on domesticated mammals, birds remained a marginal resource, their importance varying by region.

Rapid Global Deforestation Leaves Forest‐Dependent Raptors With Half of Their Suitable Habitat Remaining

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
We analyzed high‐resolution global data on forest change between 2001 and 2023 within the ranges of 369 forest‐dependent raptor species. On average, these species have lost 10% of forest within their ranges since 2001. Seventy‐seven species had already lost at least 15% of additional forest cover within their ranges in the latter half of the 20th ...

Ectoparasite and trichomonosis management improve nestling golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) health and survival: An effective mitigation strategy

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 10, Page 2764-2773, October 2025.
For sensitive or at‐risk bird species, treating parasites and disease can improve nest productivity and support population growth, making it a valuable conservation tool. In areas with high concentrations of poultry bugs or where eagles consume avian vectors of Trichomonas spp., pathogen and parasite treatments may serve as an effective mitigation ...

Past research and future directions in understanding how birds use their sense of smell

open access: yesIbis, Volume 167, Issue 4, Page 853-881, October 2025.
Our understanding of the functional importance of olfaction to birds has improved over the past 60 years, largely as the result of experimental studies testing how birds use their sense of smell in different contexts. As it is impossible to measure directly which odours birds can detect, we rely on measuring behavioural responses to scent cues or ...
