Lower competition in grasslands and higher facilitation in forests as potential drivers of the higher species richness of calcareous than siliceous communities vist.ly/47uwg

Our cover for September! 🦅 Levey et al. (2025) found, in southeastern Mexico, that while resident bird diversity declines with distance from protected forests and vegetation loss, migratory birds thrive in secondary forests and pastures. vist.ly/46vhw

Our previous cover for August! Morelli et al. (2025) show that traditional agricultural landscapes can sustain rich bird diversity. Nonetheless, shifts in land use strongly influence community composition and may drive biotic homogenization over time. vist.ly/46kzt
