Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2020 The awe-inspiring annual migration of monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) is an iconic example of long-distance migratory phenomena in which environmental sensory cues help drive successful migration. In this mini-review article, I begin by describing

People and Nature, 2022 Migratory species often provide ecosystem service benefits to people in one country while receiving habitat support in other countries. The multinational cooperation that could help ensure continued provisioning of these benefits by migration may be ...

Intensive hunting changes human-wildlife relationships [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Wildlife alter their behaviors in a trade-off between consuming food and fear of becoming food themselves. The risk allocation hypothesis posits that variation in the scale, intensity and longevity of predation threats can influence the magnitude of ...

Avian Immunome DB: an example of a user-friendly interface for extracting genetic information
BMC Bioinformatics, 2020 Background Genomic and genetic studies often require a target list of genes before conducting any hypothesis testing or experimental verification. With the ever-growing number of sequenced genomes and a variety of different annotation strategies, comes ...

Using weather radar to help minimize wind energy impacts on nocturnally migrating birds
Conservation Letters, 2022 As wind energy rapidly expands worldwide, information to minimize impacts of this development on biodiversity is urgently needed. Here we demonstrate how data collected by weather radar networks can inform placement and operation of wind facilities to ...

Animal Migrations: Endangered Phenomena [PDF]
American Zoologist, 1991 Synopsis. Current conservation research focuses on diminishing species diversity, minimal viable populations, and on the successive demise of habitats and populations that leads species to extinction. In this paper we utilize the monarch butterfly's remarkable migration and overwintering biology as a paradigm of a new conservation theme: endan?

Animal migration research takes wing [PDF]
Current Biology, 2018 In the beginning there was great confusion about animal migration. Aristotle, noting that the types of birds around him changed with the seasons, concluded that summer redstarts turned into robins at the onset of winter, and that garden warblers became blackcaps [1]. Others thought that birds disappear in winter because they hibernate submerged in mud.

Time synchronisation for millisecond-precision on bio-loggers
Movement EcologyTime-synchronised data streams from bio-loggers are becoming increasingly important for analysing and interpreting intricate animal behaviour including split-second decision making, group dynamics, and collective responses to environmental conditions ...
