Urbanization, environmental stabilization and temporal persistence of bird species: A view from Latin America [PDF]

, 2018
Background. A scarcely studied consequence of urbanization is the effect of temporal stabilization of the environment on bird communities. This alteration is thought to dampen environmental variations between day and night, seasons and years, promoting a

How many bird and mammal extinctions has recent conservation action prevented?

bioRxiv, 2020
Aichi Target 12 of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) aims to ‘prevent extinctions of known threatened species’. To measure its success, we used a Delphi expert elicitation method to estimate the number of bird and mammal species whose ...

Intratropical migration of the Hook-billed Kite (Chondrohierax uncinatus) in Middle America

Journal of Field Ornithology, 2023
The Hook-billed Kite (Chondrohierax uncinatus) is a specialized and secretive Neotropical raptor that has received little research attention. Despite scattered records of Hook-billed Kite movements, this species was long thought to be non-migratory.

Modeling detection probability to improve marsh bird surveys in southern Canada and the Great Lakes states

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2016
Marsh birds are notoriously elusive, with variation in detection probability across species, regions, seasons, and different times of day and weather.

ABC’s Bird-Smart Wind Energy Campaign: Protecting Birds from Poorly Sited Wind Energy Development

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
This article summarizes American Bird Conservancy’s (ABC’s) strategies and goals for achieving Bird-Smart wind energy in the United States. We describe the current and projected impact of wind energy development on birds and bats in the United States. We

Causal mechanisms for negative impacts of energy development inform management triggers for sagebrush birds

Ecosphere, 2023
Estimated population trends can identify declining species to focus biological conservation, but monitoring may fail to illuminate causes of population change and strategies for reversing declines. Monitoring programs can relate trends with environmental

Constitutive IP₃ signaling underlies the sensitivity of B-cell cancers to the Bcl-2/IP₃ receptor disruptor BIRD-2 [PDF]

, 2018
Anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins are upregulated in different cancers, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), enabling survival by inhibiting pro-apoptotic Bcl-2-family members and inositol 1,4,5 ...

Common Loon Reproductive Success in Canada: the West is Best but Not for Long

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2013
Reproductive success of Common Loons (Gavia immer) is a powerful indicator of aquatic ecosystem health, especially in relation to mercury and acid precipitation. We examined relationships between Common Loon reproductive success and longitude, year, lake
