🎼A new pilot study found that #bioacoustic #monitoring combined with #citizenscience effectively tracks invasive species impacts. 👉The study focused on invasive common rhododendron and cherry laurel and their effects on #bird communities in Welsh deciduous #forests: doi.org/10.3897/neob...

Using bioacoustics to assess the impact of evergreen invasive plants on bird communities in Wales, United Kingdom

Invasive alien species are one of the major drivers of biodiversity loss, with birds amongst the most vulnerable taxa affected by their impacts. However, potential impacts on bird communities have rar...

NEW PAPER: exploring variation in wing and tail moult in >2400 white-chinned petrels. Large sample size reveals considerable variation among individuals, which is surprising given the high cost of moult. ➡️ vist.ly/3m2d42w #ornithology #moult #seabirds

Fig. 1 from the article: White-chinned petrels moulting 4–5 inner primaries at the start of primary moult also replace most of their greater secondary coverts before the start of secondary moult (photos by Peter Ryan).

Fig. 4 from the article: Temporal distribution of the proportion of primary feather mass grown (PFMG) of adult white-chinned petrels accidentally caught by fishing vessels off southern Africa. The continuous line shows the average moult trajectory, dashed lines show 95% confidence intervals.
