Conserving steppe-land birds under climate change: a gap analysis for the Eurasian Stone-curlew (Burhinus oedicnemus) in the Western Palearctic

This study identifies climate refugia for the Eurasian Stone-curlew under climate change and finds most are outside protected areas, suggesting a need for targeted conservation actions.

Eurasian Stone-curlews Burhinus oedicnemus breeding in Italy show a remarkable inter and intra-population variability of migratory behaviour

This study examines migratory behavior variability in Eurasian Stone-curlews in Italy, finding differences between continental and Mediterranean populations and linking migration timing to temperature changes.

Projected dynamics of breeding habitat suitability for a steppe-land bird warrant anticipatory conservation actions

The paper models future breeding habitat suitability for the Eurasian stone-curlew under climate and land-use scenarios, identifying critical conservation areas.

More than expected: the abundance of yellow-legged gulls Larus michahellis breeding in the historic centre of Venice and the initial effects of the new waste collection policy on the population

The paper estimates the urban population of yellow-legged gulls in Venice and assesses the impact of a new waste collection policy on their breeding success and population trends.

Acoustic analysis and playback experiments do not support the taxonomic revision of the Central and Western Canary Islands subspecies of the Eurasian Stone-curlew (Burhinus o. distinctus)

The study finds no acoustic evidence to elevate B. o. distinctus to full species status, supporting existing morphological and genetic classifications.

Feral pigeon populations: their gene pool and links with local domestic breeds

This study analyzes genetic variability in Italian feral pigeon populations and finds that their genetic structure is complex and influenced by local domestic breeds.
