Age-Specific Survival Estimation of a Eurasian Crane Population Highlights a Long-Term Decline in Juvenile Survival. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The Eurasian crane (Grus grus), a symbol of conservation success in Europe, has made an impressive recovery. However, our results show that over the study period, juvenile survival declined by almost 30% overall, while sub‐adults experienced a smaller decrease, and adults showed no change.

Gastrointestinal parasites of a reintroduced semi-wild plains bison (Bison bison bison) herd: Examining effects of demographic variation, deworming treatments, and management strategy

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2021
Bison (Bison spp) are being reintroduced into semi-wild, spatially constrained herds across North America and Europe. Herd managers are concerned about gastrointestinal (GI) nematode parasites as they care for the health of their bison.

Deciphering Cryptic Population Structure in Western Sandhill Crane Subspecies (<i>Antigone canadensis</i>) of the Pacific Flyway. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Sandhill Crane populations of the Pacific Flyway are made up of breeding populations nesting west of the Rocky Mountains, and isolated by intermediate mountain ranges. Here, we analyze microsatellite markers, mitochondrial DNA sequences, and mitochondrial haplogroups to elucidate population genetic structure and found substantial genetic ...

Avian influenza overview September-November 2025. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract Between 6 September and 28 November 2025, 2896 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus detections were reported in domestic (442) and wild (2454) birds in 29 countries in Europe. The magnitude and geographical extent of these detections were unprecedented for this time of the year, particularly in wild birds.

Capturing change: the duality of time-lapse imagery to acquire data and depict ecological dynamics

Ecology and Society, 2017
We investigate the scientific and communicative value of time-lapse imagery by exploring applications for data collection and visualization. Time-lapse imagery has a myriad of possible applications to study and depict ecosystems and can operate at unique

Archive eggs: A research and management tool for avian conservation breeding

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012
Worldwide, approximately 168 bird species are captive‐bred for reintroduction into the wild. Programs tend to be initiated for species with a high level of endangerment. Depressed hatching success can be a problem for such programs and has been linked to

Differential changes in the onset of spring across US National Wildlife Refuges and North American migratory bird flyways. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Warming temperatures associated with climate change can have indirect effects on migratory birds that rely on seasonally available food resources and habitats that vary across spatial and temporal scales.

Avian mortalities due to transmission line collisions: a review of current estimates and field methods with an emphasis on applications to the Canadian electric network [PDF]

, 2013
Birds are vulnerable to collisions with human-made fixed structures. Despite ongoing development and increases in infrastructure, we have few estimates of the magnitude of collision mortality.
