Seeing the wood for the trees, irregular silviculture supports bat populations in conifer plantations
Author: Cook, P., Alder, D., Hordley, L., Newson, S.E. & Pengelly, D.
Published: 2023
Some woodland management practices may improve structural diversity and benefit bats and other species, but our understanding of responses to alternative woodland management techniques remains limited. This paper addresses this knowledge gap for bats.

Spring arrival of the Common Cuckoo at breeding grounds is strongly determined by environmental conditions in tropical Africa
Author: Davies, J.G., Kirkland, M., Miller, M.G.R., Pearce-Higgins, J.W., Atkinson, P.W. & Hewson, C.M.
Published: 2023
The average spring arrival dates of many summer migrants have advanced over recent decades, but the Cuckoo is one of several species in which this has not happened. The long-term decline in UK Cuckoo populations, together with the link between a changing climate and changing spring arrival dates more generally, raises the question as to why there has been such a limited shift in Cuckoo arrival times. This study sets out to address this question.
