Waved albatrosses can navigate with strong magnets attached to their head [PDF]

, 2003
The foraging excursions of waved albatrosses Phoebastria irrorata during incubation are ideally suited for navigational studies because they navigate between their Galápagos breeding site and one specific foraging site in the upwelling zone of Peru along

Ecoacoustics for context‐rich direct and indirect trophic interaction data and ecological network construction

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1489-1505, May 2026.
Abstract Understanding species interactions is critical for ecology and conservation, yet conventional network construction methods often lack spatiotemporal resolution and important contextual information. The growing field of ecoacoustics enables remote sensing across large spatiotemporal scales and the monitoring of otherwise cryptic communities ...

Desert crossing strategies of migrant songbirds vary between and within species

Scientific Reports, 2019
Each year, billions of songbirds cross large ecological barriers during their migration. Understanding how they perform this incredible task is crucial to predict how global change may threaten the safety of such journeys.

Hearing and Echolocation in the Australian Grey Swiftlet, Collocalia Spodiopygia [PDF]

, 1987
The frequency sensitivity of hearing in the grey swiftlet, Collocalia spodiopygia, was determined by neuronal recordings from the auditory midbrain (MLD).

Inferring Time‐to‐Speciation From Hybrid Zone Analysis Informs Assessments of Taxonomic Inflation

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 9, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Measuring gene flow across hybrid zones can provide a direct evaluation of reproductive isolation (RI) between evolutionary divergent lineages. Geographic‐explicit modelling of gene flow across hybrid zones, known as cline analysis, thus offers a gold standard for species delimitation under the biological species criterion.

To Tame a Songbird: The Genomics of the Domestication Syndrome in a Songbird Model Species

Abstract Many domesticated animals share a syndromic phenotype marked by a suite of traits that include more variable patterns of coloration, reduced stress, aggression, and altered risk-taking and exploratory behaviors relative to their wild counterparts.

Distribution of Legacy and Emerging PFASs in a Terrestrial Ecosystem Located near a Fluorochemical Manufacturing Facility

Toxics
This study investigated the distribution of 29 legacy and emerging per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in soil, nettles, invertebrates, and plasma and feathers of great tits (Parus major) of a terrestrial ecosystem near a fluorochemical plant ...

Multi-year change and annual variation in fall migratory timing of songbirds captured across a 19-year time span in northeastern Pennsylvania, USA

Journal of Field Ornithology
Although there is abundant evidence that timing of spring migration in landbirds is influenced by annual variation in temperature and longer-term warming due to climate change, much less is known about how these factors influence fall migration ...

Songbird 101

Wildlife Rehabilitation Bulletin, 2011
This paper provides tips on various aspects of organizing a songbird rehabilitation program. Whether one works in a large center with several volunteers or is a home–based rehabilitator, developing procedures, protocols, and policies helps one manage each day more productively and provides continuity of care for each songbird patient.

Recovery of cirl bunting, Emberiza cirlus, song diversity after translocation

Conservation Science and Practice
In order to improve conservation outcomes translocation or reintroduction of individuals may be necessary. When song learning birds are translocated, changes in the cultural diversity of song repertoires, or abnormal vocalizations, in the new population ...
