Simulation experiment to test strategies of geomagnetic navigation during long-distance bird migration

open access: yesMovement Ecology, 2021
Background Different theories suggest birds may use compass or map navigational systems associated with Earth’s magnetic intensity or inclination, especially during migratory flights.

Characterization of Pax3 and Sox10 Transgenic Xenopus Laevis Embryos as Tools to Study Neural Crest Development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The neural crest is a multipotent population of cells that originates a variety of cell types. Many animal models are used to study neural crest induction, migration and differentiation, with amphibians and birds being the most widely used systems.

Suite of simple metrics reveals common movement syndromes across vertebrate taxa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
ecause empirical studies of animal movement are most-often site- and species-specific, we lack understanding of the level of consistency in movement patterns across diverse taxa, as well as a framework for quantitatively classifying movement patterns. We

The Monarch Butterfly as a Model for Understanding the Role of Environmental Sensory Cues in Long-Distance Migratory Phenomena

open access: yesFrontiers 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

“Closer‐to‐home” strategy benefits juvenile survival in a long‐distance migratory bird

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
Human‐induced changes in the climate and environment that occur at an unprecedented speed are challenging the existence of migratory species. Faced with these new challenges, species with diverse and flexible migratory behaviors may suffer less from ...

Multi‐species, multi‐country analysis reveals North Americans are willing to pay for transborder migratory species conservation

open access: yesPeople 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 ...

In vivo tracking and immunological properties of pulsed porcine monocyte-derived dendritic cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Cellular therapies using immune cells and in particular dendritic cells (DCs) are being increasingly applied in clinical trials and vaccines. Their success partially depends on accurate delivery of cells to target organs or migration to lymph nodes ...

Intensive hunting changes human-wildlife relationships [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 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 ...

Using weather radar to help minimize wind energy impacts on nocturnally migrating birds

open access: yesConservation 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 ...
