Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Our study contributes to our understanding of the effects of interspecific competition in species with biparental care where male and female parents must somehow coordinate their response to interspecific competition. Abstract Interspecific competition is an important evolutionary driver of many species' life histories and behaviours, arising wherever ...

Patterns of Cooperative Feeding Behavior of Midwestern Songbirds
, 2021 Question: Is there a pattern in the feeding behavior of songbirds within species, will species cooperate to obtain food? Hypothesis: There will be a difference in the feeding behaviors of song birds when cooperation is required. Prediction: If there is a

The songbirds as an inspiration for Byzantine kratēmata [PDF]
MuzikologijaByzantine kratēmata, widely known as the terrirem, as part of other, broader musical works, date approximately back to the eleventh-twelfth century. A small group of four kratēmata are named after birds (Aēdhon - Luscinia megarhynchos, Potamis -

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 ...

Geolocation with a magnetic sensor
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Many migratory animals use spatial variation in the Earth's magnetic field for orientation and navigation. This raises the possibility of exploiting these same cues to geolocate and track migratory animals throughout their annual journeys. Magnetic‐based geolocation could be particularly valuable for small aerial and aquatic species, for which

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.

Residual tree retention ameliorates short-term effects of clear-cutting on some boreal songbirds
, 2001 : Retention of residual trees in \"cutblocks,\" logged blocks of forest, has been proposed as a method to conserve songbirds in landscapes fragmented by clear-cut logging.

Neighbours's talk: interspecific choruses among songbirds [PDF]
, 2012 In territorial songbirds, duets between mates represent one of the best-known examples of communal display, with the main function being the defence of joint resources.

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
