Breeding home range selection of Eastern Population sandhill cranes across the boreal forest
We evaluated breeding home range habitat selection of sandhill cranes (Antigone canadensis) in the boreal forest of eastern Canada. Overall, we found that sandhill cranes selected breeding home ranges with greater proportions of wetlands, cropland, and recently disturbed forest.

Conservation Arks: Genomic Erosion and Inbreeding in an Abundant Island Population of Koalas
ABSTRACT The persistence of many threatened species depends on isolated habitat patches such as conservation parks, fenced reserves, and islands. While these ‘conservation arks’ provide refuge from many contemporary threats, they can also pose risks of genetic diversity loss and inbreeding depression, further exacerbating extinction risk.

Farmers' tolerance for crop damage caused by wildlife: the role of compensation
Compensation is a common strategy to alleviate financial losses caused by wildlife, but its effects on farmers' tolerance towards damage to crops caused by wildlife are poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted semi‐structured interviews in three areas in and around biosphere reserves in Sweden and Germany to examine farmers ...

Sandhill Crane Roost Selection, Human Disturbance, and Forage Resources [PDF]
Sites used for roosting represent a key habitat requirement for many species of birds because availability and quality of roost sites can influence individual fitness. Birds select roost sites based on numerous factors, requirements, and motivations, and

Multilevel regression modelling to investigate variation in disease prevalence across locations [PDF]
In this article, we show how to investigate the role of individual (personal) risk factors in outcome prevalence in multicentre studies with multilevel modelling. The variation in outcome prevalence is modelled by introducing a random intercept.

Avian influenza overview March–June 2025
Abstract Between 8 March and 6 June 2025, 365 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus detections were reported in domestic (167) and wild (198) birds across 24 countries in Europe. HPAI A(H5N1) virus detections were predominant and mainly located in western, central and south‐eastern Europe.
