Population decline

  1. Bird declines are accelerating in agricultural regions
    Analysis of 35 years of bird survey data reveals population declines are accelerating in agricultural hotspots across North America, affecting nearly half of monitored species.
  2. Bury genomes show a population turnover in the Paris Basin
    Genetic analysis of 132 ancient genomes from Paris Basin reveals population discontinuity during Neolithic decline, with disease and environmental change driving northward ancestry shift around.
  3. Harvest levels may prevent red fox growth, but not decline
    Integrated population modeling of red foxes shows harvest alone cannot suppress populations when compensatory immigration buffers mortality, with implications for mesopredator management.
