#NEWPAPER reveals surprising migratory route of Griffon Vulture in Africa. GPS tracking shows one female's journey extending hundreds of kilometres south, highlighting gaps in current understanding. #conservation tinyurl.com/5n7fwadd MCNB Ian MacGregor-Fors

#NEWPAPER shows that cooperative nests by Monk parakeets are primarily built by males, which collaborate in the process. Kleptoparasitism of material by neighbours is prevalent, and females assume nest defence. tinyurl.com/msuc6dv5 MCNB

#NEWPAPER. Research on tropical damselfly Phylolestes ethelae unveils nocturnal copulation behaviour, unique to this American species. Females lay eggs post-dusk, suggesting a strategy to protect sperm investment. #DamselflyBehavior tinyurl.com/ykhrnert MCNB Universidade de Vigo

MCNB Animal Biodiversity and Conservation Journal is featured in the new DAFNEE Academia Friendly jourNals in Ecology and Evolution directory dafnee.isem-evolution.fr. Only 91 out of the 475 journals included are Diamond Open Access, and we're proud to say that ours is one of them! Ian MacGregor-Fors MCNB

#NEWPAPER: Forests globally are biodiversity hotspots, but knowledge gaps exist about forest-dwelling butterflies. This study in NE Türkiye reveals key factors affecting their presence MCNB tinyurl.com/4ykje5hh

According to 2023 Scimago Journal and Country Rank (SJR), MCNB Animal Biodiversity and Conservation Journal has moved from Q3 to Q2, both within Animal Science and Zoology and Natural and Landscape Conservation categories.

#NEWPAPER The abandonment of traditional activities in French Mediterranean has led to scrubland expansion and biodiversity loss. Hunters manage habitats by clearing scrubland, increasing bird species richness. tinyurl.com/2s3ttu66 MCNB

#NEWPAPER In Sierra de Guadarrama, bird richness peaks at mid-elevations, while bat richness rises with altitude. Both are tied to productivity, but woodland affects them differently. tinyurl.com/4hfnub4y MCNB

#NEWPAPER Characidium pterostictum, an insectivorous fish, shows diet changes by size and location in southern Brazil’s Ijuí River. This fish species requires extensive preservation of the watercourses it inhabits. tinyurl.com/3d8crucm MCNB

#NEWPAPER Resurveys help predict the future abundance and distribution of invasive species. In Barcelona, monk parakeet populations grew exponentially from 1976 to 2022. If unchecked, their numbers will continue to rise. tinyurl.com/mrxbxt5y MCNB
