Estructura de la comunidad y asociación de las aves acuáticas con la heterogeneidad espacial del complejo lagunar Bahía Magdalena-Almejas, Baja California Sur, México

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2008
Para probar la hipótesis que la heterogeneidad espacial determina la diversidad de aves acuáticas en un humedal costero, comparamos la densidad, diversidad y composición de especies de aves acuáticas entre habitats y otras unidades de paisaje del ...

Spatial scales matter in designing buffer zones for coastal protected areas along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway

Global Ecology and Conservation
Coastal protected areas are increasingly threatened by urbanization, posing significant risks to wetland biodiversity. Consequently, the recognition of buffer zones as essential for reducing anthropogenic impacts on protected areas has grown.

The effect of purifying Lake Manzala, Egypt by dredging on the diversity of waterbirds

Journal of Coastal Conservation
Abstract Birds are very sensitive to habitat change, making them a good indicator of biodiversity response to habitat modifications. Changing any component of the ecosystem will affect the associated species diversity negatively or positively.

Waterbird Species Are Highly Sensitive to Wetland Traits: Simulation-Based Conservation Strategies for the Birds of the Sicilian Wetlands (Italy)

Biology
In this study, we (a) formulated a general hypothesis about how wetland (functional and structural) traits influence avian diversity, (b) turned this hypothesis into a non-parametric Bayesian network, (c) disentangled the direct and indirect effects of ...

Waterbird diversity and spatial distribution across China: Patterns and conservation strategies

Global Ecology and Conservation
Understanding regional patterns of waterbird distribution and community assembly is crucial for effective conservation in China. However, comprehensive nationwide analyses of waterbird spatial distribution remain limited. Elucidating these patterns and underlying mechanisms and developing corresponding conservation strategies is imperative. We compiled

Heavy Metal Characteristics and Their Association With Microbial Communities of Wetland Soils of Shengjin and Caizi Lakes, China

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
Heatmaps showing correlations between heavy metals and microbiota, heavy metals and KEGG pathways, and microbiota and KEGG pathways in Shengjin Lake and Caizi Lake, respectively. ABSTRACT Wetland soils are among the ecosystems most vulnerable to anthropogenic disturbances, and they play critical roles in biogeochemical cycling and energy exchange.

Different demographic drivers of recovery in two adjacent populations of a long‐lived bird of prey

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Understanding the demographic mechanisms underlying population decline or recovery is critical for conservation and management, yet similar population trends may arise from very different underlying processes. Comparing populations of vulnerable species groups like long‐lived raptors in different environments can reveal how species respond to change ...

Coupling Time-Series Sentinel-2 Imagery with Multi-Scale Landscape Metrics to Decipher Seasonal Waterbird Diversity Patterns

Remote Sensing
Seasonal dynamics in wetland landscapes are closely associated with habitat availability and are likely to influence the spatial organization and diversity of waterbird communities. However, most existing studies rely on static land-cover representations

Diversity of Migratory Waterbirds along the Deli Serdang Coast, North Sumatra

Journal of Sylva Indonesiana
Migratory waterbirds rely strongly on wetland ecosystems as staging and refueling sites along their migration routes, including those situated within the East Asian–Australasian Flyway (EAAF) traversing Sumatra. This study aim to record the species diversity, evenness, and community similarity of migratory waterbirds along the Deli Serdang coast, North

Buildings as accidental habitat: Where animals nest, sleep and forage

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3531-3551, October 2026.
Abstract Animals have long inhabited human buildings alongside us, but our understanding comes from isolated studies, such as reports of a possum in the roof or a bat in our walls. What we lack is the building's perspective: which building features actually serve as habitat and for whom?
