Seasonal population dynamics and energy consumption by waterbirds in a small temperate estuary [PDF]
, 2017 Simple measures of population dynamics and energy consumption can provide baseline information on the role of consumers in food webs, particularly for cryptic or highly-mobile species of waterbirds.

PREVALENCE OF ECHINOSTOMATIDOSIS IN WATERBIRD
Russian Electronic Scientific Journal, 2023 The article presents the results of studies on the distribution of echinostomatidosis of geese and ducks in the Republic of Bashkortostan. According to the results of the autopsy and helminthoscopic studies, the extent of infestation in geese in the foreststeppe zone of the Republic is 76,7%, in the steppe zone – 54,5%, in the mountain forest – 36,7 ...

Mobile consumers influence the shoreward edge of intertidal seagrass ecosystems
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Ecological paradigms suggest that the environmentally stressful edge of a habitat is determined by physical factors. The work finds that, counter to these paradigms, an environmentally stressful edge can also be impacted by biotic interactions and are more complex than suggested.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Distinct waterbird species influence nutrient cycling through guano contributions in Great Lakes coastal wetlands. Waterbird‐derived nutrients favour distinct algal communities and wetland sediments rapidly remove waterbird nutrients via biogeochemical processes.

Cardiovascular Plasticity and Adaptation of High‐Altitude Birds and Mammals
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This schematic depicts the cardiovascular adaptations of mammals and birds to high‐altitude hypoxia. It highlights key phenotypic changes in oxygen transport and cardiac responses, driven by molecular mechanisms including transcriptional regulation and genetic modifications.

Endozoochory of large bryophyte fragments by waterbirds [PDF]
, 2017 Dispersal is a fundamental requirement for all organisms, indeed theoretical arguments show that dispersal is still required even in a uniform and predictable environment, and it is obviously a key mechanism by which plants respond to climate change ...

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Using fecal DNA metabarcoding, we quantified dietary overlap among reintroduced fishers and sympatric coyotes, bobcats, and Pacific martens in Washington's North Cascades. Niche overlap was substantial for common prey but varied with body size, revealing fine‐scale resource partitioning that may limit fishers' access to energetically efficient prey ...

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.To help ensure the growth and persistence of frog populations, we quantified changes in frog occurrence as a function of concurrent changes in land cover in the surrounding landscape of eight marsh‐breeding frog species, or groups of species. We used data from the Great Lakes Marsh Monitoring Program delivered by Birds Canada at 377 sites across four ...
