Bamboozling Interactions: Interspecific associations within mixed-species bird flocks in bamboo in the Eastern Himalaya

The paper compares mixed-species bird flocks in bamboo and rainforest habitats, finding bamboo flocks more cohesive and interconnected, likely driven by resource availability and foraging behavior.

Ant impacts on global patterns of bird elevational diversity

The paper shows that the presence of the ant genus Oecophylla influences bird elevational diversity patterns by reducing prey density and bird species richness in mountain ranges.

Bird communities in a selectively logged tropical montane forest are dominated by small, low-elevation species

The paper examines how selective logging and climate change affect bird communities in tropical montane forests, finding shifts toward smaller, lower-elevation species in logged areas.

Understanding inter-individual social networks in mixed-species bird flocks

This study constructs individual-level social networks in mixed-species bird flocks in the Eastern Himalaya, revealing differences in flock structure and mechanisms between two flocktypes.

Poles apart: the structure and composition of the bird community in bamboo in the Eastern Himalaya

This study examines bird and arthropod communities in bamboo and rainforest in the Eastern Himalaya, finding distinct community compositions and evidence of bamboo-specialist bird species.

Abiotic niche predictors of long-term trends in body mass and survival of Eastern Himalayan birds

The paper uses an 11-year mark-recapture dataset to show how temperature-humidity niche shifts in logged forests affect body mass and survival of understorey insectivorous birds.

The effect of selective logging on microclimates, arthropod abundance and the foraging behaviour of Eastern Himalayan birds

This study examines how selective logging affects microclimates, arthropod abundance, and foraging behavior of Eastern Himalayan birds, finding altered microclimates and foraging success linked to habitat modification.

Preliminary evidence for upward elevational range shifts by Eastern Himalayan birds

The paper uses citizen science data to show that 39 Eastern Himalayan bird species are shifting to higher elevations in response to climate warming, with implications for biodiversity conservation.
