Development of optimized methods for unbiased dusky grouse population monitoring using real and simulated data

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Rigorous state‐wide monitoring programs are lacking for dusky grouse Dendragapus obscurus, a North American species of forest grouse with relatively low detectability that is found in coniferous and mountainous areas in the western United States and Canada.

Age-specific effects on reproductive performance of grassland songbirds nesting in agricultural habitats

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2022
Clutch size and number of young fledged has been shown to increase with female age until approximately mid-life, when reproductive performance declines. We used a long-term dataset (2002–019) to investigate age-specific effects on reproductive parameters

Fruiting Season Length Restricts Global Distribution of Female-Only Parental Care in Frugivorous Passerine Birds. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Food availability is known to influence parental care and mating systems in passerine birds. Altricial chicks make uni-parental care particularly demanding for passerines and parental investment is known to increase with decreasing food availability.

Stable isotope analysis provides new information on winter habitat use of declining avian migrants that is relevant to their conservation [PDF]

, 2012
Winter habitat use and the magnitude of migratory connectivity are important parameters when assessing drivers of the marked declines in avian migrants. Such information is unavailable for most species.

Using programmable infusion pump in avian species – a validation methodology in geese

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife face anthropogenic and natural stressors that affect their physiology and behaviour. The activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and glucocorticoid (GC) production is intrinsically linked with energy regulation and environmental stressors.

Datasets of Bird Species Composition in a Land Reclamation Area of Lake Kahokugata, Central Japan, in Relation to Various Farmland Types

Ecology and Evolution
Agricultural intensification and land reclamation have transformed natural wetlands into farmland across East Asia, which has been a threat to bird diversity, particularly wetland and grassland specialists.

Passerine morphology: external measurements of approximately one‐quarter of passerine bird species [PDF]

Ecology, 2017
AbstractStudies of community organization and clade diversification that include functional traits have become an important component of the analysis of ecological and evolved systems. Such studies frequently are limited by availability of consistently collected data. Here, I present a data set including eight measurements of the external morphology of

Parental care and bird embryonic metabolism: A comparison between uniparentally incubating Silver‐throated Tits and biparentally incubating Black‐throated Tits

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Studies have shown that organisms may adjust metabolic rates in response to thermal variability, highlighting metabolic plasticity as a key adaptive mechanism. Understanding the extent of metabolic plasticity of an organism is key to predicting its adaptation to climate
