Using Pop-GUIDE to Assess the Applicability of MCnest for Relative Risk of Pesticides to Hummingbirds

open access: yesEcologies, 2023
Hummingbirds are charismatic fauna that provide important pollination services, including in the continental US, where 15 species regularly breed. Compared to other birds in North America, hummingbirds (family Trochilidae) have a unique exposure route to

Occurrence of a Cavity‐Nesting Tropical Swallow Is Associated to Riverbed Lithology

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the factors shaping species distribution is a key challenge in ecology and biogeography. While dispersal limitations, environmental features, and biotic interactions are commonly recognized as key determinants of species abundance and distribution, some species exhibit patchy distributions that remain hard to explain.

Beyond Bergmann and Allen: A Unified Framework for Thermoregulatory Morphology

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Context Ecogeographical rules such as Bergmann's and Allen's have long guided expectations about how organismal size and shape vary across temperature gradients. Yet these rules are typically tested independently despite sharing a common thermoregulatory basis.

An overview of the oldest and most comprehensive avifauna of the early Eocene British London Clay

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Early Eocene birds from the British London Clay have been known for two centuries, but a comprehensive understanding of the avifauna of the London Clay Formation is still in its infancy. In the present study, the bird assemblage of the Walton Member is reviewed, which represents one of the oldest subdivisions of the formation.

Fit for purpose? Analysis of the relationship between skull, beak shape and feeding ecology in Psittaciformes

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 5, Page 873-887, May 2026.
Psittaciformes exhibit high levels of morphological diversity, particularly in skull and beak structure, previously linked to diet and body size. Although there were some levels of significance between diet and beak shape, body mass was a much stronger co‐variate. Diet is not determining beak shape within the clade.
