Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2190-2213, October 2026.ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2253-2264, October 2026.ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

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,

The costs of extra‐pair behaviours in birds
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2300-2312, October 2026.ABSTRACT Extra‐pair behaviours – reproductive behaviours, including those related to copulation and paternity of offspring, amongst animals outside of a social pair bond – have long intrigued behavioural ecologists, particularly from the female animal's perspective.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.Using an optimized MaxEnt model integrated with the HSI‐InVEST habitat quality model, we predicted that suitable habitats for the Oriental Stork in China will expand (0.22%–7.82%) and shift northeastward under future climate scenarios, with altitude and precipitation identified as key drivers.

Estimating the total mortality of seabirds following a marine heat wave
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract Marine heat waves detrimentally affect a range of marine species, including seabirds, and are increasing in frequency and severity. When thousands of dead seabirds wash up on beaches, the public becomes concerned. However, the number of dead birds recorded on beaches is only a fraction of the total mortality; most birds perish at sea.

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract The United Nations and European Union have set ambitious conservation goals to halt and reverse declines in biodiversity by protecting 30% of land and sea areas by 2030. Effective conservation planning requires evidence‐based spatial prioritization to maximize the coverage of species within designated protected areas.
