How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2190-2213, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2253-2264, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

Impact of removing laver (Porphyra) farming racks on the distribution, diversity and foraging behavior of waterbirds in coastal wetlands in eastern China

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
IntroductionThe coastal wetlands in eastern China are important feeding and resting sites for migratory waterbirds. Intertidal aquaculture in this region has various effects on waterbird communities, yet research on the impact of coastal restoration on ...

The costs of extra‐pair behaviours in birds

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2300-2312, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Extra‐pair behaviours – reproductive behaviours, including those related to copulation and paternity of offspring, amongst animals outside of a social pair bond – have long intrigued behavioural ecologists, particularly from the female animal's perspective.

A Monte Carlo-augmented geographical random forest approach for spatial biodiversity modeling: managing bird communities in small urban wetlands

Ecological Informatics
Small urban wetlands face intensifying pressures from rapid urbanization, yet their biodiversity patterns remain underexplored due to data scarcity and spatial complexity.
