DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9664
Abstract: Abstract The red‐backed shrike (Lanius collurio) used to be one of the most common hosts of the common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus). Nevertheless, during the last 30 years, there is increasing evidence from Central Europe that the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9764
Abstract: Abstract Space‐use and demographic processes are critical to the persistence of populations across space and time. Despite their importance, estimates of these processes are often derived from a limited number of populations spanning broad habitat… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/aec.12629
Abstract: Fire disturbance in tropical savannas is integral to maintaining habitat heterogeneity and biodiversity, but its impact on avian species is highly variable. Savannas in northern Australia have recently been invaded by gamba grass (Andropogon gayanus),… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms24010131
Abstract: Metagenomic methods are powerful tools to investigate viral diversity in biological or environmental samples and to identify previously unknown viruses. We used RNA metagenomics to identify, in the gut of red-backed voles, the nearly complete… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.7604
Abstract: Background Managing forests for timber while protecting wildlife habitat is of increasing concern. Amphibians may be particularly sensitive to forest management practices due to their unique biology; however, it is not clear how different species… read more here.
