Extended Strahler Ordering to Distinguish Mapped River Channels From Overland Flow Pathways and Consistently Compare Digital Networks

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 869-885, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Digital networks are virtual representations of freshwater systems that provide important inputs to, and mapping of, river classifications, simulation models, and quantitative data analyses for policy, planning, and management. Strahler order has often been used to characterize network configuration and as a proxy indicator of river channel ...

Estructura de la comunidad y asociación de las aves acuáticas con la heterogeneidad espacial del complejo lagunar Bahía Magdalena-Almejas, Baja California Sur, México

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2008
Para probar la hipótesis que la heterogeneidad espacial determina la diversidad de aves acuáticas en un humedal costero, comparamos la densidad, diversidad y composición de especies de aves acuáticas entre habitats y otras unidades de paisaje del ...

Integumentary fibrosarcoma in a free‐living swan (Cygnus olor): Medical and welfare considerations

open access: yesVeterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract A 10‐kg adult male mute swan (Cygnus olor) of unknown age was admitted for investigations of two large ventral masses overlying the keel bone, which were discharging purulent material. The masses measured 8.9 × 2.1 cm and 4.2 × 3.2 cm. Empirical treatment with non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs and antimicrobials was instigated.

Environmental drivers of metapopulation dynamics throughout the full annual cycle in a declining Arctic‐nesting migratory herbivore

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 5, Page 865-881, May 2026.
We provide a framework for extending commonly used integrated population models to a metapopulation framework for testing novel ecological hypotheses about how changing environmental conditions within and among subpopulations drive changes in animal abundance.

A Feasibility Study of Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to Survey Avian Abundance by Using Audio Recording

open access: yes, 2015
Roadside counts are commonly used to assess songbird abundance, but they result in oversampling habitat edges and underrepresenting core habitats, areas of steep terrain, and wetlands.

Large mammal recovery in the wake of human population decline

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Human depopulation, particularly in rural areas, has contributed to the recovery of some large mammal populations. While recovery is generally good news for conservation, it can also lead to human‐wildlife conflict. We present several avenues to maximize coexistence in the face of further rural depopulation in other places. Read the free Plain Language

A national assessment of waterbird hunting in coastal wetlands of Suriname, South America

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
We examined waterbird harvest levels in Suriname using hunter survey data from 2006 and 2016. The analysis showed a significant decline in the average harvest per hunter over the decade, except for blue‐winged teal and migratory shorebirds. However, the sustainability of current harvest levels remains uncertain, underscoring the need for a national ...
