An agent‐based model determining a successful reintroduction of the extinct passenger pigeon
Natural Resource Modeling, Volume 33, Issue 4, November 2020., 2020 Abstract The passenger pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) was an iconic species in eastern North America that was one of the most numerous birds in the world at the time of European colonization. Passenger pigeons went extinct in 1914 due to excessive hunting.

Improved subtyping affords better discrimination of Trichomonas gallinae strains and suggests hybrid lineages [PDF]
, 2019 Trichomonas gallinae is a protozoan pathogen that causes avian trichomonosis typically associated with columbids (canker) and birds of prey (frounce) that predate on them, and has recently emerged as an important cause of passerine disease.

Automated identification of avian vocalizations with deep convolutional neural networks
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 6, Issue 1, Page 79-92, March 2020., 2020 Passive acoustic monitoring is a powerful tool for wildlife conservation and research but depends on researchers’ ability to isolate signals of interest in the resulting data. We developed a data‐processing pipeline to automate this task using a deep convolutional neural network to identify the calls of six owl species in field recordings, with ...

An Experimental Investigation into the Effects of Traffic Noise on Distributions of Birds: Avoiding the Phantom Road [PDF]
, 2013 Many authors have suggested that the negative effects of roads on animals are largely owing to traffic noise. Although suggestive, most past studies of the effects of road noise on wildlife were conducted in the presence of the other confounding effects ...

Long-distance dispersal of pigeons and doves generated new ecological opportunities for host-switching and adaptive radiation by their parasites. [PDF]
, 2022 Adaptive radiation is an important mechanism of organismal diversification and can be triggered by new ecological opportunities. Although poorly studied in this regard, parasites are an ideal group in which to study adaptive radiations because of their ...

Survival rates of band‐tailed pigeons estimated using passive integrated transponder tags [PDF]
, 2023 Obtaining survival estimates on the Interior population of band-tailed pigeons (Patagioenas fasciata) is challenging because they are trap shy, but the joint use of passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags and bands is a potential solution.

Habitat use of conifer forests for Interior Band-tailed Pigeons is mediated by precipitation
Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2022 Although managing habitats in the context of climate change is increasingly important in Western North America, management recommendations are often lacking at fine scales relevant for management.
