Head direction cells in a migratory bird prefer north [PDF]
Science Advances, 2022 Animals exhibit remarkable navigation abilities as if they have an internal compass. Head direction (HD) cells encoding the animal’s heading azimuth are found in the brain of several animal species; the HD cell signals are dependent on the vestibular nuclei, where magnetic responsive cells are present in birds.

Directional compass preference for landing in water birds [PDF]
Frontiers in Zoology, 2013 AbstractIntroductionLanding flight in birds is demanding on visual control of velocity, distance to target, and slope of descent. Birds flying in flocks must also keep a common course of landing in order to avoid collisions. Whereas the wind direction may provide a cue for landing, the nature of the landing direction indicator under windless conditions

Direct Effects of Cattle on Grassland Birds in Canada [PDF]
Conservation Biology, 2014 Abstract Effects of grazing on grassland birds are generally thought to be indirect, through alteration of vegetation structure; however, livestock can also affect nest survival directly through trampling and other disturbances (e.g., livestock‐induced abandonment).

How are Natura 2000 protected areas covering different components of avian diversity in Spain?
Ecological Indicators, 2021 Protected areas are a relevant conservation tool at our disposal, especially for developing management strategies of natural habitats. However, explicit tests at large spatial scales about its effectivity protecting different components of biodiversity ...
