Providing regular and frequent maps of losses and gains of farmland birds based on European monitoring data

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Knowledge of species distributions is essential for informing policies on nature conservation and restoration. However, updating them on a regular basis and doing so in a harmonized manner at the international level is difficult. The European Bird Census Council integrated national monitoring data covering 5 years to update farmland bird ...

Threats to Nature's Contributions to People Provided by Terrestrial Vertebrates Across Europe

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Species and ecosystem processes provide essential benefits to people, known as Nature's Contributions to People (NCP). However, we still lack a comprehensive understanding of NCP provided by terrestrial vertebrates on a macroecological scale, and of the threats they face. To address this, we built a comprehensive dataset that documents the

Nest Bacterial Environment Affects Microbiome of Hoopoe Eggshells, but Not That of the Uropygial Secretion.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
The study of associations between symbiotic bacterial communities of hosts and those of surrounding environments would help to understand how bacterial assemblages are acquired, and how they are transmitted from one to another location (i.e.

The status of the Hoopoe (Upupa epops) in Hungary: a review [PDF]

open access: yesOrnis Hungarica, 2015
Abstract The Hoopoe is a widespread species in Hungary with the strongest populations on the Great plains. The fact that in 2015 it became ‛The Bird of the Year’ in Hungary offers the possibility to summarise the information about the distribution, population size, dispersion, migration as well as the nature conservation status of the ...

Supporting cavity‐nesting birds in organic orchards and vineyards: Evaluating the use of artificial nest boxes

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Artificial nest boxes increased nesting opportunities for birds when tailored to their ecological needs. More complex and heterogeneous landscapes with greater forest and shrub cover increased nest box use. Nest box placement height and management‐related factors also influenced their occupation.

Effectiveness of territorial protection categories in conserving an endemic island bird during population fluctuation

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
Static boundaries of protected areas failed to capture the Canary Islands stonechat's shifting distribution patterns. Abstract Protected areas represent cornerstones of biodiversity conservation on oceanic islands, yet their effectiveness for endemic species remains poorly evaluated. We assessed how various territorial protection categories conserve an

Bridging the gap: improving methodologies for future avian microbiome research

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
Recent advances in the field of wild avian microbiome research have significantly deepened our understanding of the eco‐evolutionary dynamics of bird–microbe interactions. Consequently, the field is now approaching a pivotal moment in uncovering the ultimate factors shaping avian microbiome structure, especially in relation to birds' ecological ...
