Embryo movement is more frequent in avian brood parasites than birds with parental reproductive strategies
TLDR
It is found that brood parasites exhibited significantly increased muscular movement during incubation compared to non-parasites, which suggests that increased embryo movement may facilitate the development of the stronger musculoskeletal system required for the demanding tasks undertaken by young brood parasites.
Street lighting has detrimental impacts on local insect populations
Direct evidence shows that artificial light at night reduces caterpillar abundance and disrupts larval behavior and development.

Changing bird communities of an agricultural landscape: declines in arboreal foragers, increases in large species
TLDR
Investigating how land-use change has affected birds of the Tasmanian Midlands, one of Australia's oldest agricultural landscapes and a focus of habitat restoration, suggests increases in large-bodied granivorous or carnivorous birds and declines in some arboreal foragers and nectarivores.

Unlocking the potential of historical abundance datasets to study biomass change in flying insects
TLDR
The model allows biomass to be estimated for historical moth abundance datasets, and so the approach will create opportunities to investigate trends and drivers of insect biomass change over long timescales and broad geographic regions.

The risk of parasitism in relation to the distance from reed warbler nests to cuckoo perches
TLDR
It was found that reed warblers breeding further away from trees laid significantly larger eggs than birds breeding closer to trees.
How important are climate-induced changes in host availability for population processes in an obligate brood parasite, the European cuckoo?
TLDR
It is found that, due to climate-induced changes in the timing of breeding, availability of dunnock Prunella modularis nests has decreased, but that availability of reed warbler Acrocephalus scirpaceus has increased.
East Atlantic teleconnection pattern and the decline of a common arctiid moth
Teleconnection patterns are large‐scale atmospheric circulation systems and variation in them is often associated with impacts on climate and weather over broad areas. Arctia caja L. is a well‐known,…
Abundance and Species Richness of Nocturnal Insects on Organic and Conventional Farms: Effects of Agricultural Intensification on Bat Foraging
TLDR
It is suggested that less-intensive farming benefits British bat populations by providing and maintaining diverse and structurally varied habitats, which in turn support a wide selection of insect prey for bats, including insect families that are significant components of the diet of a number of rare bat species.
Recent population declines in Afro‐Palaearctic migratory birds: the influence of breeding and non‐breeding seasons
TLDR
The evidence for impacts of breeding and non‐breeding conditions on population trends of British breeding birds of varying migratory status and wintering ecology is explored.
Variation in moth occurrence and implications for foraging habitat of Ozark big-eared bats
Declines in British-breeding populations of Afro-Palaearctic migrant birds are linked to bioclimatic wintering zone in Africa, possibly via constraints on arrival time advancement
Capsule The bioclimatic zone and habitat type within which birds winter are the most important determinants of population trends. Aims To investigate whether regional factors on wintering grounds,…
