Songbird 101

open access: yesWildlife 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.

Impact of Female Mating Status on Male Courtship Behaviour in a Sexually Cannibalistic New Zealand Fishing Spider

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
Scoring of male courtship behaviour in Dolomedes minor revealed no effect of female mating status on courtship duration or sequence structure, but males delayed the initiation of courtship when encountering previously mated females. ABSTRACT The evolution of male courtship rituals has traditionally been attributed to female mate selection, but may also

A supramolecular assembly of cone‐specific G‐protein and cryptochrome 4a on lipid bilayer

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Immobilized phospholipid bilayers on a sensor chip surface serve as membrane platform to investigate critical protein–lipid and protein–protein interaction processes by surface plasmon resonance. The putative magnetoreceptor cryptochrome 4a and the myristoylated cone‐specific G‐protein α‐subunit (Gtα) bind with high affinity to immobilized lipid ...

Spring migration of Blackpoll Warblers across North America

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology, 2020
The awe-inspiring seasonal migrations of birds between breeding and wintering grounds has long attracted the interest of casual naturalists and professional ornithologists alike. Although new technologies improve our ability to follow individual migrants

Evaluation of an automated recording device for monitoring forest birds

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2012
Monitoring of forest songbirds via auditory detections during point surveys can be enhanced by using preprogrammed recording devices. During May–July 2008, we compared boreal forest bird surveys conducted with SM‐1 bird song recorders (Wildlife Acoustics,

Citizen science reveals host‐switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

The what, which, when, why and who of Off responses in the auditory system

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend In this article, we will first review ‘What’ different mechanisms are involved in the generation of Off responses at the sub‐cortical and cortical level of the auditory system. Then, we evaluate ‘Which’ stimulus properties elicit Off responses at the different levels of the auditory system.

The effect of white‐tailed deer density on breeding songbirds in Delaware

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2013
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.

Using FoxP2 to Distinguish Direct and Indirect Basal Ganglia Pathways for Vocal Learning in Songbirds

open access: yesDevelopmental Neurobiology, Volume 86, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The cortico‐basal ganglia pathways that mediate vocal learning in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) are localized in parallel circuits formed by CORE and SHELL subregions. These circuits traverse a specialized region of the basal ganglia essential for vocal learning (Area X), which includes intermixed striatal and pallidal neurons.

Assessing factors associated with changes in the numbers of birds visiting gardens in winter: Are predators partly to blame?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
The factors governing the recent declines observed in many songbirds have received much research interest, in particular whether increases of avian predators have had a negative effect on any of their prey species.
