Article assessing range-wide genetic structure and contemporary gene flow in the thorn-tailed rayadito (Aphrastura spinicauda), a passerine bird inhabiting the temperate forests of South America.

Article integrating ecophysiological information with the development of new high-resolution climatic layers for Antarctica, to better understand how the distribution of P. steinenii may respond to change over the next century under different IPCC climate change scenarios. The authors conclude that the species has the potential to expand its distribution to include parts of the west and east coasts of the Antarctic Peninsula and even coastal ice-free areas in parts of continental Antarctica. The authors also propose P. steinenii as an effective native sentinel and indicator species of climate change in the Antarctic.

This article studies the nest-site selection and survival rate of the five most abundant open-cup forest-dwelling passerines (Elaenia albiceps, Zonotrichia capensis, Phrygilus patagonicus, Turdus falcklandii, and Anairetes parulus) in the world’s southernmost forests of Navarino Island, in the Cape Horn Biosphere reserve, Chile (55°S).

Article demonstrates that using Field Environmental Philosophy (FEP) methodology, inconspicuous species can be made visible and their ecological, ethical, aesthetic, and economic values can be recognized by citizens.
