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

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract Ongoing depletion of Iran's groundwater, driven by human extraction, has contributed to 106 incidences of basin‐scale, land‐surface subsidence covering 31,400 km2 (> ${ >} $10 mm/yr, 1.9%) of the country. We use Sentinel‐1 Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar time series to map and analyze, for the first time, surface velocities within ...

Journal of Zoology, Volume 326, Issue 4, Page 339-351, August 2025.We investigated sex and seasonal differences in the road crossing behavior of Asian black bears (Ursus thibetanus) living in central Honshu Island, Japan, as an example of wildlife risk‐taking behavior in a highly fragmented landscape. Our results show that Asian black bears generally avoid crossing roads, and that there are seasonal differences in ...
