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.
Benefits and costs of native reforestation for breeding songbirds in temperate uplands
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.
Using molecular and crowd‐sourcing methods to assess breeding ground diet of a migratory brood parasite of conservation concern
Bucking the trend: the diversity of Anthropocene ‘winners’ among British moths
An appreciation of how some species are becoming more common despite unprecedented anthropogenic pressures could offer key insights for mitigating the global biodiversity crisis.  Research to date…

An update of the Worldwide Integrated Assessment (WIA) on systemic insecticides. Part 2: impacts on organisms and ecosystems
TLDR
This review concludes with a summary of impacts on the ecosystem services and functioning, particularly on pollination, soil biota, and aquatic invertebrate communities, thus reinforcing the previous WIA conclusions.
Assessing the Performance of EU Nature Legislation in Protecting Target Bird Species in an Era of Climate Change
International legislation forms a cornerstone of conservation, yet its efficacy is rarely quantified. We assess whether species listed on Annex I of the European Union (EU) Birds Directive, for which…
Demographic drivers of decline and recovery in an Afro-Palaearctic migratory bird population
Across Europe, rapid population declines are ongoing in many Afro-Palaearctic migratory bird species, but the development of appropriate conservation actions across such large migratory ranges is…
Migratory birds under threat
TLDR
To halt declines, preservation of remaining habitats and restoration of habitats both at breeding and nonbreeding grounds is essential, as well as stopping illegal killing and taking of birds along their migration routes.
Population decline is linked to migration route in the Common Cuckoo
TLDR
Common Cuckoos use two distinct routes to reach the same wintering grounds, allowing assessment of survival during migration independently of origin and destination, and the proportion of birds using this route strongly correlates with population decline across nine local breeding populations.
The interacting effects of food, spring temperature, and global climate cycles on population dynamics of a migratory songbird.
TLDR
The results indicate that the warming temperature trends might have a positive effect on recruitment and population growth of black-throated blue warblers if food abundance is sustained in breeding areas, and potential intensification of future El Niño events could negatively impact vital rates and populations of this species.
Landscape-scale conservation of farmland moths
Long‐term population dynamics of a migrant bird suggests interaction of climate change and competition with resident species
TLDR
The results suggest that the resident species (blue tit and great tit) could adjust to increasing spring temperature while the migrant species could not, leading progressively to the exclusion of the pied flycatcher from the area.
Rainfall on wintering grounds affects population change in many species of Afro-Palaearctic migrants
AbstractSurvival and population growth rates in several species of Afro-Palaearctic migrant have been shown to correlate with rainfall regimes and/or vegetation level on their African wintering…
The decline of Afro-Palaearctic migrants and an assessment of potential causes
There is compelling evidence that Afro-Palaearctic (A-P) migrant bird populations have declined in Europe in recent decades, often to a greater degree than resident or short-distance migrants. There…
