Linking eBird data with high spatiotemporal remote sensing products to estimate occupancy of bird populations across the island of Ireland

Ibis, EarlyView.
The vast increase in biodiversity data generated through citizen science initiatives, alongside a growing suite of remote sensing products and advanced modelling tools, has opened new avenues for rapidly, accurately and efficiently monitoring species trends to inform conservation, management and policy.

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.

Response of Waterbirds to Salt Pond Enhancements and Island Creation in the San Francisco Bay [PDF]

, 2013
Historically, San Francisco Bay supported the largest salt pond complex on the Pacific coast of North America, and these areas have been used by large numbers of migrating and wintering waterbirds for more than a century.

Ecosystem recovery in restored saltmarshes detected through invertebrate communities

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Saltmarsh ecosystems support rich biodiversity and provide key ecosystem services. Invertebrate communities underpin essential processes such as nutrient cycling and decomposition. However, saltmarshes have been widely degraded by land use change.

Monitoring mercury across the National Wildlife Refuge System using a biosentinel approach

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
We measured mercury concentrations in 1,356 dragonfly larvae collected from 30 National Wildlife Refuges across the United States and found wide variability among refuges, spanning the full range reported for other protected lands. Using a management‐focused mercury impairment index, 80% of refuges contained sites classified as moderate or higher risk.

Comparative Analysis of Gut Microbiota Among Captive Waterbird Species: Effects of Diet and Environmental Factors

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study reveals that diet drives gut microbiota differences in captive waterbirds (bar‐headed goose, ruddy shelduck, black‐necked crane), with protein‐rich diets shaping distinct microbial communities. Artificial lakes enhance microbial diversity compared to enclosures, offering insights for improving captive waterbird health.

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
