Ecologic Immunology of Avian Influenza (H5N1) in Migratory Birds

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
The claim that migratory birds are responsible for the long-distance spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses of subtype H5N1 rests on the assumption that infected wild birds can remain asymptomatic and migrate long distances unhampered.

Avian Wing Proportions and Flight Styles: First Step towards Predicting the Flight Modes of Mesozoic Birds [PDF]

, 2011
We investigated the relationship between wing element proportions and flight mode in a dataset of living avian species to provide a framework for making basic estimates of the range of flight styles evolved by Mesozoic birds.

Migration stopover ecology of Cinnamon Teal in western North America

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Identifying migration routes and fall stopover sites of Cinnamon Teal (Spatula cyanoptera septentrionalium) can provide a spatial guide to management and conservation efforts, and address vulnerabilities in wetland networks that support migratory ...

Avian Malaria and Related Parasites from Resident and Migratory Birds in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, with Description of a New Haemoproteus Species

Pathogens, 2021
Determining the prevalence and local transmission dynamics of parasitic organisms are necessary to understand the ability of parasites to persist in host populations and disperse across regions, yet local transmission dynamics, diversity, and ...

Flyway connectivity and exchange primarily driven by moult migration in geese

Movement Ecology, 2019
Background For the conservation and management of migratory species that strongly decrease or increase due to anthropological impacts, a clear delineation of populations and quantification of possible mixing (migratory connectivity) is crucial.

Ecophysiology of avian migration in the face of current global hazards [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2012
Long-distance migratory birds are often considered extreme athletes, possessing a range of traits that approach the physiological limits of vertebrate design. In addition, their movements must be carefully timed to ensure that they obtain resources of sufficient quantity and quality to satisfy their high-energy needs.

Can ecological forecasting lead to convergence on sustainable lighting policies?

Conservation Science and Practice, 2023
The overuse and expansion of artificial light at night (ALAN) has emerged from complex social, economic, and political factors, making it a societal problem that negatively impacts wildlife and people.

Migratory songbirds and urban window collision mortality: vulnerability depends on species, diel timing of migration, and age class

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2022
Hundreds of millions of birds are estimated to die annually in North America by colliding with windows, and understanding the species-level correlates of collision mortality is an important step towards mitigation.

Using Avian Radar to Examine Relationships Among Avian Activity, Bird Strikes, and Meteorological Factors

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Radar systems designed to detect avian activity at airfields are useful in understanding factors that influence the risk of bird and aircraft collisions (bird strikes).
