Automatic vocalisation detection delivers reliable, multi-faceted, and global avian biodiversity monitoring

The paper applies a pre-trained bird vocalisation detection model to global audio datasets, achieving high precision for many species and enabling biodiversity monitoring across multiple spatial and temporal scales.

Linking animal migration and ecosystem processes: data-driven simulation of propagule dispersal by migratory herbivores

This paper develops a predictive modeling framework to simulate propagule dispersal by migratory herbivores, applied to Galapagos tortoises spreading guava seeds, showing their role in invasive species spread.

Post-glacial expansion dynamics, not refugial isolation, shaped the genetic structure of a migratory bird, the yellow warbler

The paper uses climate-informed spatial genetic modeling to show that post-glacial expansion dynamics, not refugial isolation, shaped the genetic structure of the yellow warbler.

The role of habitat configuration in shaping animal population processes: a framework to generate quantitative predictions

The paper introduces a framework to generate quantitative predictions about how habitat configuration influences animal population processes, using a model for simulating habitat networks.

mtDNA-based reconstructions of change in effective population sizes of Holarctic birds do not agree with their reconstructed range sizes based on paleoclimates

The paper uses mitochondrial DNA and bioclimatic models to compare changes in effective population size and range size in Holarctic birds, finding no correlation between the two.

Movement and conformity interact to establish local behavioural traditions in animal populations

This study develops a model integrating movement and conformist social learning to show their combined impact on the spread of behavioural traditions in animal populations.
