Testing the Mediating Role of Social Interactions on the Relationship Between Age and Plumage Traits on Reproductive Success

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
This conceptual figure uses Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAG) to represent the hypothesized biological mechanism in which age and/or plumage traits affect reproductive success, and social interactions mediate these relationships. It highlights the predicted decomposition of (a) the total effect into the direct and indirect effects under scenarios of (b ...

Should equine practitioners still prescribe chloramphenicol for treating horses?

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Background Clinical breakpoints for chloramphenicol are not currently available to test susceptibility of bacteria isolated from horses. Without these breakpoints, testing the susceptibility of bacterial isolates from horses cannot be interpreted properly.

Threatened cockatoo adapts foraging strategy to survive habitat loss from fire

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Fire regimes are changing across the globe as a result of human‐induced climate change. For granivorous bird species, changes in fire regimes can affect seed availability and the persistence of populations. We investigated the foraging behaviour of Glossy Black Cockatoos Calyptorhynchus lathami halmaturinus, a resource specialist, following large‐scale

Seasonality and plasticity in the use of native and introduced plant resources by a large forest parrot

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Human‐induced environmental change is reshaping plant communities, requiring native animals to adapt their foraging behaviour to track and exploit novel food resources. Trees such as pines (Pinus spp.) introduced for plantation forestry outside of their native ranges often become naturalized.

Geographical distribution of the Pinnated Bittern (Botaurus pinnatus): Update and seasonal movement pattern

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
The Pinnated Bittern Botaurus pinnatus (Ardeidae) is a widely distributed Neotropical wading bird whose distribution and seasonal status remain poorly resolved. Discrepancies among published literature, citizen science records and the range currently assumed by BirdLife International indicate that both its geographical distribution and migratory ...
