Geographic variation in the altitudinal migration patterns, body size, oxidative status and exploratory behavior in a neotropical bird. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 Individuals of the same species can substantially vary their altitudinal migration pattern and phenotype according to local weather conditions. Here, we evaluate latitudinal variation in altitudinal migration patterns and its possible links with body size, oxidative status, and exploratory behavior in a neotropical bird.

Combining point counts and autonomous recording units improves avian survey efficacy across elevational gradients on two continents. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 Using avian surveys conducted in comparable, high elevation, temperate mountain habitats at opposite ends of the Americas (British Columbia, Canada, and southern Chile), we show combined ARU and point count methods are among the most efficient and accurate approaches to capturing diversity.

Conformity to Bergmann's rule in birds depends on nest design and migration. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 Bergmann's rule has received mixed support from empirical studies and here, we examined if behavior may moderate its effect. We show that amongst European birds, conformity to Bergmann's rule depends on migratory behavior and the design of nests. Abstract Ecogeographical rules attempt to explain large‐scale spatial patterns in biological traits. One of

Plausible causes of seed preferences and diet composition in seed‐eating passerines
Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2022, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022 We evaluated whether seed mass, handling time, handling efficiency and profitability account for (a) preferences in controlled experiments and (b) field‐diet composition of four bird species of the Monte desert, Argentina. The question of whether birds maximise their energy intake rates while feeding on seeds is assessed.

Glacier influence on bird assemblages in habitat islands of the high Bolivian Andes
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 242-256, February 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Climate projections for the upcoming decades predict a significant loss of ice mass particularly critical for glaciers in tropical mountains. In the dry landscapes of the southern Andes (from Southern Peru to Chile), this global trend has strong ecological impacts on high‐altitude wetlands that support a unique avifauna for feeding ...
