In this study, combining avian visual modelling and a controlled field experiment, we objectively studied the ‘egg-matching hypothesis’ using the brood parasitic Asian Koel <i>Eudynamys scolopaceus</i> and one of its main hosts in Bangladesh, the Common Myna <i>Acridotheres tristis</i>. Common Mynas rarely reject foreign eggs, so we expected that Asian Koels would not differentiate between egg appearances. To directly assess nest selection behaviour, we installed 100 paired nestboxes – each pair comprising one nest with restricted koel access and another accessible nest. We demonstrate that Asian Koels do not differentiate between active Common Myna nests or dummy nests with Common Quail <i>Coturnix coturnix</i> eggs or dummy nests without quail eggs during egg-laying. Parasitism was also significantly less frequent (2.1%, <i>n</i> = 141) in boxes with smaller openings that were less accessible to koels, whereas 27.8% (<i>n</i> = 18) of myna nests in nestboxes with large openings were parasitized. Koels parasitized 23.4% (<i>n</i> = 141) of dummy nests with eggs in nestboxes with large openings. None of the dummy nests in boxes with small openings were parasitized. Koels laid eggs in active myna nests or dummy nests only when at least one active myna clutch was present. This lack of discrimination between these different experimental groups suggests that Asian Koels were not matching host eggs in this experiment. In addition, Common Myna eggs from parasitized nests did not appear more like Asian Koel eggs compared with Common Myna eggs from unparasitized nests. Together, these findings suggest that, rather than attempting to lay eggs in nests that best match their own eggs in appearance, Asian Koels lay eggs that poorly match in colour to the local hosts' eggs.</p>","PeriodicalId":13254,"journal":{"name":"Ibis","volume":"168 2","pages":"492-503"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147569434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, measuring the number of nesting attempts is often challenging. We used individual-based re-nesting models to estimate whole-season productivity for the Spotted Flycatcher <i>Muscicapa striata</i> in England to investigate demographic drivers of long-term population decline. Between 2004 and 2006 we monitored 248 nests in two regions of England covering three broad nesting habitats: farmland, garden and woodland. We combined field-derived measures of nesting start date, clutch size, hatching and fledging rates, whole-nest survival and re-nesting intervals, with nest-stage durations taken from the literature, to estimate whole-season per-pair productivity for each habitat and region combination. We weighted these estimates by the proportion of Spotted Flycatchers counted in each region-habitat (derived from extensive monitoring data for 1994–2006 and 2007–2021) to derive region-specific productivity measures. Finally, we compared these derived empirical productivity measures with the level required to maintain population size given current knowledge of survival rates of UK-breeding Spotted Flycatchers. Whole-season productivity only reached the required threshold for population stability in gardens. Regional estimates of whole-season productivity were substantially lower than the level required for population stability in both regions and both time periods, and the number of nesting attempts needed to achieve stability was also implausibly high in both regions. Assuming the same rates of whole-season productivity for Spotted Flycatchers distributed across these habitats and regions based on Breeding Bird Survey data for 2007–2021, productivity declined further to levels below that needed to sustain the population in all three habitats, mainly as a consequence of lower proportions recorded in gardens in southwest England. Historical and recent population declines of Spotted Flycatchers in eastern and southwest England are likely to have been caused by low productivity, particularly low survival of nests at the egg stage. Our study illustrates the utility of re-nesting models as a tool for understanding the demographic drivers of population change in multi-brooded species.</p>","PeriodicalId":13254,"journal":{"name":"Ibis","volume":"168 2","pages":"479-491"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147563633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Passive acoustic monitoring combined with localization of individuals is a promising approach to gather such data. Various approaches for the identification of species and localization of individuals have been proposed, but there is so far no fully automated ready-to-use workflow that combines identification and localization. We here present a novel approach based on sound recordings with multiple cost-efficient autonomous recording units (Audiomoths). The workflow uses a well-established artificial intelligence model (BirdNET; other models possible) for species identification and localizes the sources of all identified bird sounds with high accuracy. Tests with replayed sounds of different bird species in an agricultural landscape show that – after filtering out identifications with low identification confidence – the algorithm localizes more than 92% of the sounds within 2 m of the true location (78% &lt;1 m). We used the workflow to localize wild birds, to demonstrate its applicability in a real-world situation and its usefulness for avian ecology. This workflow is completely automated and ready-to-be-used, including by non-experts. It can also be used when strong winds affect the speed of sound or if three-dimensional localizations are of interest. By making data on individual bird locations accessible, the presented work will help to advance fundamental and applied ecology as well as conservation.</p>","PeriodicalId":13254,"journal":{"name":"Ibis","volume":"168 2","pages":"554-570"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ibi.70012","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147563969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such variation often arises from the process of group formation, which drives patterns of relatedness and hence the degree of social conflict and co-operation between group members. Using field observations and molecular genetics, we investigated breeding behaviour in an urban population of the highly social Monk Parakeet <i>Myiopsitta monachus</i> to address two objectives. First, we investigated breeding-group frequency, composition and formation, finding that 19% of breeding units were co-operative groups, ranging in size from three to five birds, the remainder being pairs (81%). Group composition was variable with multi-male, multi-female and multi-male–female groups. Relatedness in breeding groups also varied with many containing kin, but some groups containing only non-kin. This variation reflected alternative routes to group formation, including offspring retention by pairs, sibling coalitions and aggregation of unrelated individuals. Secondly, we investigated productivity, reproductive investment and patterns of parentage in relation to the size of breeding units. Productivity did not differ significantly between pairs and groups. We detected extra-pair paternity in 27% of broods raised by pairs, and parentage shared among more than two members of most breeding groups, with joint-nesting by females detected in multi-female groups. In conclusion, the breeding system of the Monk Parakeet defies simple definition, instead showing variable reproductive roles, with potential for both indirect and direct fitness benefits.</p>","PeriodicalId":13254,"journal":{"name":"Ibis","volume":"168 2","pages":"451-464"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ibi.13457","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147570243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To investigate mist-net bird captures and species assemblage structure, we compiled data from 312 sites across the Pan-Amazon. Using coverage-based rarefaction and extrapolation curves, we propose a minimum sampling effort, standardizing samples by completeness, to obtain a robust representation of local understorey bird assemblages in Amazonian forests. Furthermore, we aimed to assess the variation in capture rates across sampling days and hours, as well as to characterize species assemblages based on their ecological and morphological attributes. The sample coverage for 312 sites varied from 0.46 to 1.0. Sample size (represented by numbers of individuals) varied according to the standardized sample coverage. For sample coverage of 0.9, the sample size ranged from 30 to 271, with an average of 128.7 individuals. Species-rich sites (&gt;60 understorey bird species) required a larger sample size than more depauperate sites to achieve a sample coverage of 0.9. Capture success was greatest on the first day of sampling (44.8% of all individuals and 83.7% of species), and in the morning (70.8% and 96.4%). The archetypal bird sampled by understorey mist-netting in Amazonian forests is a fairly common small-bodied insectivore that occupies only one habitat type and spends most of its time perched above ground on shrubs or saplings. We suggest that a representative minimum sample of understorey birds should include, on average, 129 individuals per sampling unit. However, this threshold can vary according to local species richness, and we propose different sample sizes for different levels of species richness. For ecological studies where abundance data are essential to derive robust diversity estimates, we recommend operating mist-nets from dawn to dusk.

Despite this, the specific impacts of both organic and conventional farming practices on bird coloration and sperm quality in natural settings remain unexplored. This study aimed to determine whether these farming practices differentially affect body mass, coloration intensity and sperm quality in passerine birds inhabiting agricultural landscapes. We captured seven passerine species in hedgerows adjacent to fields farmed organically or conventionally, within a 250-m radius representative of their breeding home-ranges. Body mass was measured across all species, and an index of coloration intensity, based on carotenoid (yellow/orange) and melanin (black) pigments, was assessed in four species. Additionally, we evaluated three sperm quality parameters (sperm density, percentage of abnormal sperm and intra-individual variance of sperm morphology) using fresh sperm samples collected from four species in the field. We hypothesized that birds living near conventional fields would exhibit lower body mass due to reduced food availability. Additionally, we predicted that the more favourable conditions associated with organic farming – such as greater food abundance and lower exposure to pollutants – would benefit birds, leading to enhanced coloration and improved sperm quality. Our results did not reveal any differences in body mass or coloration. The absence of observable effects might be due to several factors: methodological limitations, cross-contamination between habitats or insufficient exposure to farming practices that may hide any potential difference between the two habitats, or the intrinsic adaptive strategies of the species. However, subgroup analyses of three and four species revealed a decrease in sperm density and a higher proportion of abnormal spermatozoa in the Common Whitethroat and Common Nightingale living in conventionally farmed areas, respectively.

We found a significant positive correlation between WPS among paired Daurian Redstarts, i.e. individuals tend to select mates with WPS similar to their own.

The BOU now follows AviList taxonomy and this change has implications for the British List.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The linear sequence of orders is revised:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anseriformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Galliformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Podicipediformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Otidiformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cuculiformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pterocliformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Columbiformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gruiformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Charadriiformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Phaethontiformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gaviiformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Procellariiformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ciconiiformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suliformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pelecaniformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Caprimulgiformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Apodiformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Strigiformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Accipitriformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bucerotiformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Coraciiformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Piciformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Falconiformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Psittaciformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Passeriformes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The linear sequence of families is revised:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anatidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Phasianidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Podicipedidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Otididae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cuculidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pteroclidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Columbidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gruidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rallidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Burhinidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recurvirostridae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Haematopodidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Charadriidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Scolopacidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Glareolidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stercorariidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alcidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Laridae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Phaethontidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gaviidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Diomedeidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oceanitidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hydrobatidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Procellariidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ciconiidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fregatidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sulidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Phalacrocoracidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Threskiornithidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pelecanidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ardeidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Caprimulgidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Apodidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tytonidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Strigidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pandionidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Accipitridae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Upupidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Coraciidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meropidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alcedinidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Picidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Falconidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Psittaculidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tyrannidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vireonidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oriolidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Laniidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Corvidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remizidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Paridae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Panuridae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alaudidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cisticolidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Acrocephalidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Locustellidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hirundinidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aegithalidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cettiidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Phylloscopidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sylviidae&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bombycillidae&lt;","PeriodicalId":13254,"journal":{"name":"Ibis","volume":"168 1","pages":"395-410"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ibi.70009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145719683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
