DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.1804
Abstract: The impacts of invasive plant control on native animals are rarely evaluated. Using data from an eight-year study in southeastern Australia, we quantified the effects on native bird, mammal, and reptile species of (1) the… read more here.

Assessing the Portion of Diet Taken by Birds and Mammals from a Pesticide‐Treated Area—Proposal for a Joint Way Forward
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry"
DOI: 10.1002/etc.5311
Abstract: An environmental risk assessment for birds and mammals is an important part of any application package for potential registration of pesticides in Europe. A realistic estimation of the exposure of a certain species to the… read more here.

Biodiverse river basins: assessing coverage of protected areas for terrestrial vertebrates
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Biodiversity and Conservation"
DOI: 10.1007/s10531-021-02240-5
Abstract: Conservation planning requires information at adequate scales for decision-making and priority definition. Considering the importance of the Usumacinta river basin, we assessed the distribution of vertebrate richness (amphibians, birds and mammals), threatened species, and their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2017.05.023
Abstract: Abstract Using habitat mitigation to minimize or offset negative impacts of land use change on biodiversity is increasingly common and widespread. For example, where natural disturbance is undesirable (e.g., wildfire in oil and gas fields),… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2020.109830
Abstract: The most likely route of exposure to high concentrations of neonicotinoids capable of producing lethal or sublethal effects in birds and mammals is consumption of treated seeds. We placed trail cameras at simulated seed spills… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.vetpar.2017.01.004
Abstract: Toxoplasmosis, caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii, is one of the most widespread zoonoses in the world. It can affect most warm-blooded animals but only felids are its definitive hosts. We determined seroprevalence and associated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0950268817002576
Abstract: SUMMARY H9N2 is the most widespread avian influenza virus subtype in poultry worldwide. It infects a broad spectrum of host species including birds and mammals. Infections in poultry and humans vary from silent to fatal.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2017.0451
Abstract: Sophisticated vocal communication systems of birds and mammals, including human speech, are characterized by a high degree of plasticity in which signals are individually adjusted in response to changes in the environment. Here, we present,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/geb.12869
Abstract: Aim The diversity of birds and mammals is typically described in separate analyses, but species may play similar roles. Here, we develop a comparative trait framework for birds and mammals to provide a global quantification… read more here.

The role of divergent ecological adaptation during allopatric speciation in vertebrates
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Science"
DOI: 10.1126/science.abo7719
Abstract: After decades of debate, biologists today largely agree that most speciation events require an allopatric phase (that is, geographic separation), but the role of adaptive ecological divergence during this critical period is still unknown. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2020.00419
Abstract: Before they develop competent endothermy, mammals and birds are sensitive to fluctuating temperature. It follows that early life thermal environment can trigger changes to the ontogeny of thermoregulatory control. At the ecological level, we have… read more here.
