Diurnal habitat selection of migrating Whooping Crane in the Great Plains
Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2019 Available stopover habitats with quality foraging opportunities are essential for migrating waterbirds, including Whooping Crane (Grus americana). Several studies have evaluated habitats used by Whooping Crane for roosting throughout its migration ...

Climate‐related drivers of migratory bird health in the south‐central USA
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 3, Page 1272-1293, June 2025.ABSTRACT Migratory birds are species of concern that play important ecological roles while also supporting recreational opportunities for the hunting and birdwatching public. Direct and indirect effects of climate variability, extremes, and change on migratory bird health manifest at the individual, population, species, and community levels.

Same‐sex partnerships in birds: a review of the current literature and a call for more data
Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 3, May 2025.Same‐sex sexual behaviour (SSB), encompassing actions such as courtship, pair bonding, and parenting between individuals of the same sex, has been observed across numerous taxa, including birds. Yet despite its widespread occurrence, SSB remains poorly understood, often dismissed as maladaptive or the result of errors in sex discrimination.

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 3, May 2025.While there is ample evidence supporting genetic control of migratory behaviour in short‐lived passerines, long‐lived social species have been assumed to rely solely on cultural inheritance of migratory routes. Evidence from experimental studies supporting this idea is scarce.
