BMC Zoology is calling for submissions to our Collection on "Birds and environment: exploring the interconnections and conservation challenges".

Birds, as integral components of ecosystems, serve as vital indicators of environmental health. Their behaviors, migration patterns, and population dynamics can provide valuable insights into the state of the environment. This special issue aims to bring together a diverse collection of articles that shed light on various aspects of bird-environment interactions, their adaptations, and the challenges they face in today's changing world.

New Content ItemThis Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 15: Life on Land.
