Call for papers: Environmental and Ecological Determinants of Infectious Disease Emergence
How do changing environments influence the emergence of infectious diseases? This call for papers invites research for a Biology special issue on environmental and ecological drivers of disease. Topics include global change and zoonotic risk, pathogen ecology and evolution, spillover at human-wildlife-livestock interfaces, surveillance and prediction, and One Health approaches...

How could climate change reshape bird migration and HPAI?气候变化如何重塑鸟类迁徙与高致病性禽流感风险？
Climate change and highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) are often treated as separate challenges, yet they intersect through wild bird ecology. In our 2023 Comment, we asked how long-term climate change and short-term extreme weather could alter migration, host populations, individual health, and virus persistence in the environment. These pathways may reinforce or counteract one another, so climate change does not automatically mean greater disease risk. Understanding what happens requires following birds, viruses, and changing environments across scales: from the condition of individual birds and their local contacts to the movement of populations along entire flyways. This story outlines connections...气候变化和高致病性禽流感看似不同，却通过野生鸟类的生态过程相互关联。我们讨论长期气候变化与极端天气如何影响鸟类迁徙、宿主健康及病毒在环境中的存留。这些作用可能彼此叠加，也可能方向相反，因此不能简单地认为气候变化一定会提高疾病风险... [click for more details][点击查看详情]

How changing landscapes reshape migration and avian influenza risk景观变化如何重塑迁徙与禽流感风险
Migratory waterfowl depend on connected wetlands, feeding areas, and stopover sites between breeding and wintering grounds. When landscapes change, birds may travel along different routes, gather elsewhere, and encounter new sources of infection. This story connects studies of habitat degradation, migration networks, avian influenza transmission, and possible viral reassortment at the wild bird–poultry interface. Habitat loss does not produce one universal disease outcome. Risk depends on where sites are lost or gained, how birds respond, and which populations then meet. We trace those links through field observations and models, while distinguishing possible mechanisms from predictions of specific future disease outbreaks...迁徙水鸟依赖沿途的湿地和停歇地。景观变化可能改变迁徙路线、鸟类聚集地点与感染环境。我们串联多项研究，探讨栖息地退化如何影响迁徙网络、禽流感传播及野鸟与家禽交界面上的病毒重配。疾病风险取决于变化发生在哪里，以及鸟类如何响应...

What can a flock tell us about HPAI?从一群水鸟中，我们能看出什么 HPAI 风险信息？
Why are some waterbird species more often recorded as avian influenza hosts, and why do outbreaks occur at some winter wetlands but not others? This story looks beyond bird counts. Across studies of European waterbirds, we examine host traits, abundance, community composition, and how closely related the species are. We also ask whether ecological patterns associated with highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) remain useful across epidemic periods. The findings suggest that which species gather together can matter as much as how many birds are present. Observational records have limits, and patterns in wild birds may not transfer unchanged to poultry...为什么有些水鸟更常见于禽流感记录，而一些越冬湿地更容易报告疫情？这篇文章不仅看数量，也关注宿主性状、群落组成及物种间的差异。研究提示，哪些鸟聚在一起，可能与鸟有多少同样重要。监测数据仍有局限，野鸟中的规律也不能直接套用到家禽...

Call for papers: Asian Flyways under Global Change: Movement Ecology and Emerging Threats, special issue with Avian Research
This call for papers invited work on migratory waterbirds in the Central Asian and East Asian–Australasian flyways. These routes connect breeding, stopover, and wintering habitats across many countries, making international collaboration essential. The special issue sought original research, reviews, and perspectives on movement ecology, habitat connectivity, climate change, human pressures, population dynamics, avian disease, and understudied species. Its goal was to connect disciplines and build knowledge that supports waterbird conservation as landscapes and environmental conditions change. Submissions have now closed, but the original flyer and the full scope of the call remain available here for reference... [click for more details]
