The effect of white‐tailed deer density on breeding songbirds in Delaware
Most population goals for white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are based solely on deer data, with little consideration for other parts of the ecosystem. A wider ecological approach is needed for more justifiable target deer densities.

We raised fall field crickets in acoustic environments of silence, their own song, traffic noise, or the song of the recently introduced Japanese burrowing cricket and measured development, size, and adult survival. We found that crickets reared with burrowing cricket song developed more quickly than crickets reared in silence.

Polarized light cues underlie compass calibration in migratory songbirds
Migratory songbirds use the geomagnetic field, stars, the Sun, and polarized light patterns to determine their migratory direction. To prevent navigational errors, it is necessary to calibrate all of these compass systems to a common reference.

ABSTRACT Aim Species richness of local communities may be regulated via negative diversity dependence of colonization or positive diversity dependence of extinction rate. We explore whether and how bird communities are regulated and what determines extinction and colonization rates across communities.

Data from: Diversity of haemosporidian parasites in Mississippi songbirds
Haemosporidian parasites are extremely diverse in birds, and the more bird hosts are tested, the greater the diversity of haemosporidians is found. Here, we conducted a survey of haemosporidians in the local populations (Oktibbeha County, MS) of common ...
