Quantifying the Detrimental Impacts of Land-Use and Management Change on European Forest Bird Populations [PDF]

, 2013
The ecological impacts of changing forest management practices in Europe are poorly understood despite European forests being highly managed. Furthermore, the effects of potential drivers of forest biodiversity decline are rarely considered in concert ...

Zooarchaeological Analysis of an Atoll Assemblage From Central Micronesia

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There has been a dearth of archaeological research on atolls in the central‐eastern Caroline Islands of Micronesia. This has limited our understanding of pre‐contact subsistence and settlement strategies in these more marginal and remote environments, particularly in regards to zooarchaeological data.

Effects and observation of migrating birds on a boundary-layer windprofiler in Eastern Germany

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 1998
Boundary-layer windprofilers recently have become more and more a standard technique for measuring lower atmospheric wind profiles operationally. Although the availability of reasonable data is quite high, there are about 2 % of all profiles which show ...

Modeling highly pathogenic avian influenza transmission in wild birds and poultry in West Bengal, India. [PDF]

, 2013
Wild birds are suspected to have played a role in highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 outbreaks in West Bengal. Cluster analysis showed that H5N1 was introduced in West Bengal at least 3 times between 2008 and 2010.

Fasting and Refeeding Mediated Phospholipid Remodeling Plays an Important Role in Improving Meat Quality of Aged Laying Hens

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explored fasting‐induced physiological remodeling effects on meat quality in aged laying hens. Fasting for 15 days (F15) significantly reduced abdominal fat, intermuscular fat width, subcutaneous fat thickness, and liver index versus pre‐fasting (F0) (p < 0.05), which recovered post‐refeeding.

Reviving a Legacy Citizen Science Project to Illuminate Shifts in Bird Phenology

International Journal of Zoology, 2012
Climate change has been of high interest to both the scientific community and the public at large since the phenomenon was first suggested. Subsequently, and with growing evidence of its impending ramifications, numerous studies have attempted to ...

Using life-history traits to explain bird population responses to changing weather variability [PDF]

, 2011
Bird population dynamics are expected to change in response to increased weather variability, an expression of climate change. The extent to which species are sensitive to effects of weather on survival and reproduction depends on their life-history ...

‘Fish in simulated water’? A Bourdieusian analysis of Chinese doctoral students' learning experiences in Southeast Asian developing countries

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract International student mobility (ISM) has historically followed a pattern of movement from developing regions to developed countries. However, in recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of Chinese students pursuing doctoral studies in Southeast Asian developing countries, an area that has received relatively little ...

Quantifying nocturnal thrush migration using sensor data fusion between acoustics and vertical‐looking radar

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation
Studying nocturnal bird migration is challenging because direct visual observations are difficult during darkness. Radar has been the means of choice to study nocturnal bird migration for several decades, but provides limited taxonomic information. Here,

Space-Based Ornithology - Studying Bird Migration and Environmental Change in North America [PDF]

Natural fluctuations in the availability of critical stopover sites coupled with anthropogenic destruction of wetlands, land-use change, and anticipated losses due to climate change present migratory birds with a formidable challenge.
