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.

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

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
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.

Sediment microbial communities in long‐term wetland restorations within the Prairie Pothole Region of the United States

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Hydrologic wetland restoration in the Prairie Pothole Region is a common management practice to facilitate habitat and ecosystem recovery after degradation or drainage. Little is known about the recovery of sediment microbial communities relative to other organisms, such as vegetation, fish, and macroinvertebrates, even though they are critical for ...

Diversity and Conservation of Waterbirds in the Northern Avifaunal Region of Sri Lanka

Ceylon Journal of Science, 2017
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the waterbird diversity, distribution, and conservation status in the northern avifaunal region of Sri Lanka, which includes two of the four richest waterbird regions in Sri Lanka, namely Jaffna and Mannar. We compiled data from the annual waterbird censuses and monthly records of the Ceylon Bird Club from ...

Tidal reinstatement of coastal wetlands: a global review

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coastal wetland restoration is a global priority due to its critical role in enhancing climate resilience and biodiversity. Tidal reinstatement, through the removal or modification of tidal barriers, is a promising method to restore these ecosystems.

Population genomic signatures of founding events in autonomously self‐fertilizing plants: a test with Impatiens capensis

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 616-628, April 2026.
Summary Autonomously self‐fertilizing plants possess disproportionate abilities to found populations. Viewed from the metapopulation perspective, founding events should be frequent in such plants, but the intensity and timing of bottlenecks and recovery should vary among populations.

Using PLS-SEM models to explore the interactions of meteorology and landscape pattern changes on waterbird diversity: A case of the Liaohe Estuary

Ecological Informatics
Waterbirds are highly sensitive to environmental quality, with climate and landscape patterns being the two most important factors for influencing waterbird diversity. Understanding the effects of climate and landscape may lead to more effective policies

Spatiotemporal Assessment of Littoral Waterbirds for Establishing Ecological Indicators of Mediterranean Coastal Lagoons

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2017
Waterbirds are vital indicators of anthropogenic influence on the ecological status of Mediterranean coastal lagoons. Our study relates temporal waterbird data to key environmental gradients at catchment scale that have a structural or functional ...

Metabarcoding Analysis Reveals Microbial Diversity and Its Environmental Drivers in the Pantanos de Villa Lagoons in Lima—Peru

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study characterized, for the first time, the microbial diversity in four lagoons of the Pantanos de Villa Wildlife Refuge in Lima, Peru, using 16S rRNA marker gene metabarcoding and identified the physicochemical drivers that influence the microbial community structure of these lagoons.
