Stable Isotope Analysis as a Tool to Prevent Illicit Wildlife Trade of Songbirds in Brazil

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Feather isotopes provide clear differences between wild and captive songbirds in Brazil. Combining multiple isotopes improved classification accuracy and revealed individuals falsely declared as captive‐bred. These results demonstrate the potential of isotope analysis to detect wildlife laundering in the bird trade.

Urbanization and brood parasitism affect growth, but not free amino acid concentrations in nestling song sparrows (Melospiza melodia)

Frontiers in Bird Science
Urbanization is projected to grow rapidly in the coming decades. Several consequences of this form of anthropogenic change for ecosystems and individuals are described by the fields of urban ecology and urban ecophysiology, respectively.

Differential reliance on aquatic prey subsidies influences mercury exposure in riparian arachnids and songbirds

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Cross‐ecosystem subsidies move substantial amounts of nutrients between ecosystems. Emergent aquatic insects are a particularly important prey source for riparian songbirds but may also move aquatic contaminants, such as mercury (Hg), to riparian food ...

The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership

Implementation of passive acoustic monitoring to assess site-specific avian diversity on private lands

Journal of Field Ornithology
California’s Sacramento Valley has lost much of its native riparian and wetland habitats because of anthropogenic land-use change. Efforts to restore habitat have occurred, and bird responses have been primarily studied on public lands, whereas ...

Prevalence of traded bird species in key biodiversity areas

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The use and trade of biodiversity involve tens of thousands of species that are exploited at a range of scales, intensities, and degrees of sustainability. As a result, some are highly threatened. Key biodiversity areas (KBAs) are sites of significance for the persistence of biodiversity identified nationally based on standardized criteria ...

The link between colorfulness and extinction risk across the world's passerine birds

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many of the functional traits that mediate extinction risk across the range of biodiversity relate indirectly to a species’ ability to persist in a changing world, yet certain traits such as coloration directly affect human interactions with wildlife.

Why Do Birds Flock? A Role for Opioids in the Reinforcement of Gregarious Social Interactions

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
The formation of social groups provides safety and opportunities for individuals to develop and practice important social skills. However, joining a social group does not result in any form of obvious, immediate reinforcement (e.g., it does not result in
