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.

Impaired Reproductive Performance of Waterbirds in Metal-Contaminated Tropical Rice Agroecosystems: Evidence from Little Egrets (Egretta garzetta)

Toxics
Heavy metal pollution in rice fields is a major concern; however, little research has addressed its exposure and risk to waterbirds inhabiting rice fields.

A Dangerous Prey Fish? Brachyspira‐Rich Gastrointestinal Microbiota in Pompano Dolphinfish From Neritic and Deep Waters of the South China Sea

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study reveals an unexpectedly simplified, Brachyspira‐dominated gastrointestinal microbiota in pompano dolphinfish from both neritic and deep‐sea habitats of the South China Sea. Environmental DNA and functional analyses suggest these fish may acquire potential pathogens in anthropogenically influenced coastal waters and transport them offshore ...

Integrating Molt Migration Into Physiological Assessments of Inter‐Population Stress in a Globally Endangered Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Feather corticosterone (fCORT) provides a powerful indicator of population‐level physiological responses to human disturbance, yet its interpretation is complicated by variation across taxa, habitats, and molt‐movement strategies. Using stable isotope analyses to account for molt migrants in the globally endangered Scaly‐sided Merganser (Mergus ...

Waterbirds and human-related threats to their conservation in Laguna Cuyutlán, Colima, México

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2009
Laguna Cuyutlán, the only large wetland in a span of 1 150 km along the Pacific coast of México, has been neglected as to its importance for waterbird conservation. At least 25 waterbird species nest there, with some of their colonies being very relevant,

Ocean Chlorophyll-a Concentration and the Extension of the Migration of Franklin’s Gulls (Leucophaeus pipixcan) in Southern South America

Animals
Although many long-distance migratory birds choose stable wintering sites and staging posts, irruptive migrants may exhibit considerable interannual variability in their migratory patterns, often depending on food availability.

Breeding Ecology of the Critically Endangered Baer's Pochard (Aythya baeri): Nest Threats and Conservation Implications

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study identifies that the daily nest survival of Baer's Pochard was primarily influenced by three factors: it increased with greater distance from the shore and the height above water, and decreased with later laying dates. Both nest location and timing were identified as critical factors for reproductive success.

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Plant–Soil–Enzyme Interactions in Intertidal Wetlands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study reveals that during the exposure period in the Shengjin Lake intertidal wetland, the temporal gradient serves as the primary driving force for changes in the plant–soil–enzyme system, followed by alkaline phosphatase activity, nitrate nitrogen, and pH.

Mechanism of Alfalfa in Enhancing Goose Egg Yolk Flavor: An Analysis Based on Metabolomics and Quantitative Lipidomics

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Organic egg production requires daily provision of coarse feed, fresh or dried forage, and silage to poultry. This study employed flavoromics, metabolomics, and quantitative lipidomics to investigate the effects of replacing 0% (CK), 10% (T10), and 20% (T20) of the basal diet of laying geese with alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) on the sensory ...
