A non-invasive method to monitor farmland bird exposure to triazole fungicides

Elena Fernandez-Vizcaino et al.

Summary: Through ecological experiments, we found that measuring triazole fungicide residues in farmland bird feces can effectively assess their exposure levels.

Field Availability and Avoidance of Imidacloprid-Treated Soybean Seeds and Cotyledons by Birds

Laura Addy-Orduna et al.

Summary: Treated seeds and their cotyledons pose toxicological risks to seed-eating birds. The study found that the density of untreated seeds and the damage to seedlings were higher than those treated with imidacloprid. Additionally, the abundance and richness of birds decreased after sowing, suggesting a deterrent effect of imidacloprid-treated seeds on birds.

The implementation of irrigation leads to declines in farmland birds

Xabier Cabodevilla et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the impact of irrigation on bird species occurrence patterns in a 100 km(2) area in northern Spain. It found that irrigation had an overall negative impact on the local bird community, with the majority of species decreasing in occurrence rates and only a small fraction increasing. This negative impact was particularly detrimental to farmland birds.

Bird exposure to fungicides through the consumption of treated seeds: A study of wild red-legged partridges in central Spain

Elena Fernandez-Vizcaino et al.

Summary: The study found that the intake of sown seeds and pesticide in partridges is affected by landscape composition, with lower exposure occurring in areas with lower landscape heterogeneity, higher habitat mosaic, and more natural vegetation. By combining experimental data and field observations, the research highlights the importance of the risks that pesticide-treated seeds pose to farmland bird populations through dietary intake.

Leaching of 1,2,4-triazole from commercial barley seeds coated with tebuconazole and prothioconazole

Christian Nyrop Albers et al.

Summary: The experiment showed that leaching of 1,2,4-triazole from barley seeds coated with triazole fungicides is a possibility, but only a small percentage of the fungicides ended up as 1,2,4-triazole in the leachate. Therefore, when evaluating the leaching risks from pesticide applications in agriculture, both seed dressing pesticides and their degradation products should be taken into consideration.

Avoidance of neonicotinoid-treated seeds and cotyledons by captive eared doves (Zenaida auriculata, Columbidae)

Laura Addy-Orduna et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the avoidance behavior of eared doves towards different pesticides. The results showed that neonicotinoid-treated sorghum led to anorexia in doves but did not fully prevent poisoning and death. The effects of neonicotinoids on soybean seeds and cotyledons were inconclusive due to low consumption by captive doves.

Pervasive exposure of wild small mammals to legacy and currently used pesticide mixtures in arable landscapes

Clementine Fritsch et al.

Summary: This study investigated the exposure of free-ranging mammals to pesticides and found widespread contamination, which has implications for ecosystem impacts. The results suggest that wildlife exposure to pesticide mixtures is a common occurrence, highlighting the need to consider the concept of environmental exposure and question the adequacy of current risk assessment and mitigation processes.

All is fish that comes to the net: metabarcoding for rapid fisheries catch assessment

Tommaso Russo et al.

Summary: Monitoring marine resource exploitation is crucial in fisheries science and biodiversity conservation, with fishery-dependent data playing an increasingly important role. By using DNA metabarcoding in slush water from fishing nets, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between read counts and species abundances in the catch, showing the potential for this approach to provide valuable information on demersal assemblages and fisheries impact.

Birds feeding on tebuconazole treated seeds have reduced breeding output

Ana Lopez-Antia et al.

Summary: Exposure to tebuconazole-treated seeds was found to affect the physiology and reproductive output of red-legged partridges, particularly at high doses. This highlights the need to revisit risk assessments for tebuconazole as a seed treatment in light of its potential effects on bird reproduction.

Metabarcoding insights into the diet and trophic diversity of six declining farmland birds

Xabier Cabodevilla et al.

Summary: This study used a metabarcoding approach to analyze the diet composition of six significant farmland birds in European cereal pseudo-steppes, revealing that they mainly consume plants with some species also consuming arthropods. The study highlights the importance of natural and semi-natural vegetation in providing a diverse food source for these declining species throughout the year.
