Social brains in context: lesions targeted to the song control system in female cowbirds affect their social network. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Social experiences can organize physiological, neural, and reproductive function, but there are few experimental preparations that allow one to study the effect individuals have in structuring their social environment. We examined the connections between

Non-breeding social behaviour as an investment in reducing future territoriality costs. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Territoriality is costly, and animals should adopt strategies to cope with these costs. Seasonal territoriality for breeding – a common strategy in many groups of animals – can reduce costs during the non‐breeding season but requires establishing new territories every breeding season.

The Role of Campus as an Urban Multiuse Protected Area in Bird Nocturnal Roosting Habitat Function. [PDF]
Ecol EvolCampus green spaces are essential for providing critical nocturnal habitats, playing a key role in supporting urban bird species in fragmented environments. Seasonal variations significantly influence nocturnal bird roosting site selection, with birds adapting their roosting patterns to changing environmental conditions throughout the year.

Effects of vegetation, corridor width and regional land use on early successional birds on powerline corridors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Powerline rights-of-way (ROWs) often provide habitat for early successional bird species that have suffered long-term population declines in eastern North America. To determine how the abundance of shrubland birds varies with habitat within ROW corridors
