Predator foraging altitudes reveal the structure of aerial insect communities
(2016-06-29)
The atmosphere is populated by a diverse array of dispersing insects and their predators. We studied aerial insect communities by tracking the foraging altitudes of an avian insectivore, the Purple Martin (Progne subis). ...
An Arduino-Based RFID Platform for Animal Research
(2019-07-10)
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has been broadly applied in the
biological sciences to yield new insights into behavior, cognition, population biology, and
distributions. RFID systems entail wireless ...
Varying dataset resolution alters predictive accuracy of spatially explicit ensemble models for avian species distribution
(2018-12-06)
Species distribution models can be made more accurate by use of new “Spatiotemporal Exploratory Models” (STEMs), a type of spatially explicit ensemble model (SEEM) developed at the continental scale that averages regional ...
LunAero: Automated “smart” hardware for recording video of nocturnal migration
(2020-03-18)
Moon watching is a method of quantifying nocturnal bird migration by focusing a telescope on the moon and recording observations of flying birds silhouetted against the lunar surface. Although simple and well-established, ...
Is extinction forever?
(2015)
Mistrust of science has seeped into public perception of the most fundamental aspect of conservation—extinction. The term ought to be straightforward, and yet, there is a disconnect between scientific discussion and public ...
Examination of Clock and Adcyap1 gene variation in a neotropical migratory passerine
(2018-01-11)
Complex behavioral traits, such as those making up a migratory phenotype, are regulated by multiple environmental factors and multiple genes. We investigated possible relationships between microsatellite variation at two ...
