Urban green roofs provide habitat for migrating and breeding birds and their arthropod prey. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
The world is rapidly urbanizing, and many previously biodiverse areas are now mostly composed of impervious surface. This loss of natural habitat causes local bird communities to become dominated by urban dweller and urban utilizer species and reduces ...

A trait dataset for Taiwan's breeding birds. [PDF]

Biodivers Data J, 2020
Species traits affect how a species interacts with the environment and other species and thus determine the role of the species in an ecosystem. They affect not only population dynamics of a species across space and over time, but also community structure and function through their key role in the community assembly processes.

Locally adapted migration strategies? Comparing routes and timing of northern wheatears from alpine and lowland European populations

Journal of Avian Biology, 2022
The northern wheatear Oenanthe oenanthe has an almost circumpolar breeding distribution in the Northern Hemisphere, but all populations migrate to sub‐Saharan Africa in winter.

Drones, automatic counting tools, and artificial neural networks in wildlife population censusing

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The use of a drone to count the flock sizes of 33 species of waterbirds during the breeding and non‐breeding periods was investigated. In 96% of 343 cases, drone counting was successful.

Detecting the non-breeding region and migration route of Whimbrels (Numenius phaeopus rogachevae) in the East Asian–Australasian Flyway

Avian Research, 2022
Determining the migration routes and connections of migratory birds at the population level helps clarify intraspecific differences in migration. Five subspecies have been recognized in the Whimbrel (Numenius phaeopus) in Eurasia. Ssp.
