This research station is located on Key Biscayne and is providing interesting data on migration over the eastern Florida coast, an area with high human population density. And at the South Florida Birding Observatory we have been banding a few surprises over the past weeks.
The talk described eBird’s origins in 2002 and traced its history as a project aimed at using “citizen science” to help researchers and conservationists learn more about birds. It was riveting and enjoyable, but also a not-so-subtle recruiting session for eBird. And at least on me, it worked.
Photo by Adam Riley (Rockjumper Birding Tours) Despite initial appearances, these birds are in fact very large passerines (13-16 in) and research has shown them to be an ancient basal offshoot from the passerine evolutionary tree. White-necked or Yellow-headed Picathartes, Bonkro, Ghana.
And summary and discussion of recent research on how birds have changed the frequency and pitch of their songs in response to human noise and the possible consequences of those changes (again, we know that we don’t know). I do wish there was more about research on female bird song. And, that’s it.
Using the Birds of Peru field guide to identify a species of antshrike This course has three admirable objectives: To train the next generation of Neotropical bird researchers, both international and Peruvian, in efficient and standardised mist-netting, bird ringing/banding, and bird ageing skills.
With some research, I ended up with more questions than answers, making these birds all the more interesting! Between 1960 and 2002, more than 50 official documented records were recorded in Everglades National Park alone. These observations got me asking questions: what is their pattern of occurrence?
Indeed, most of what we knew about Emperor Penguins before Kooyman’s research expeditions was about their breeding behavior and physiology. Kooyman was there to work at McMurdo Station (a large American research station that we hear about throughout the book) as technical assistant on a science mission involving fish.
Thinking Pink for Pups: Dogtopia Pampers Dogs for Cancer Research. Dogs across the country will get primped and pampered in October, all in the name of breast cancer awareness and research. billion for breast cancer research, education and health services. Dogtopia was founded by Nichols in 2002 in Tyson’s Corner, VA.
Thus it was that in 2002 a re-introduction scheme successfully brought the Adonis Blue Butterfly back to the North Downs. It was a fascinating story to follow and the happy ending made it all the more touching, but a tiny bit of extra research brought even more exciting details of the secret life of the ‘blue’ family.
This is a delightful book, large (8-1/2 by 11 inches), filled with Sibley’s distinctive artwork and an organized potpourri of research-based stories about the science behind bird’s lives. copyright @2020 by David A llen Sibley. As Sibley tells us in the Preface, he originally intended to write a children’s book.
Of course, these are stories of over 460 species, condensed and informed by research gleaned from ornithological literature dating back to 1869. My personal favorites are three photos of the 2009 Cape May Ivory Gull. The 13-page bibliography attests to Boyle’s scholarship. Should you buy this book?
It was through her research that she learned how chimpanzees make and use tools, eat meat and engage in war-like activity. Founded in 1977, the Jane Goodall Institute continues Dr. Goodall’s pioneering research on chimpanzee behavior—research that transformed scientific perceptions of the relationship between humans and animals.
Sargeant, doing business as Sargeant’s Wholesale Biologicals, buys carcasses from animal shelters and sells them to research facilities such as UC Davis’ School of Veterinary Medicine.
From WildEarth Guardians: WildEarth Guardians’ research reveals this agency is: • Biologically Unsound - Wildlife Services uses a “sledgehammer approach” to wildlife management, meaning over one million animals are killed each year using non-selective killing controls such as poisons, traps, and aerial gunning. Ranchers oppose the move.
After researching industry trends and carefully planning the venture to serve dogs and their busy owners, Amy founded the first Dogtopia, a full-service dog day care, spa and boutique, in 2002.
Beloved family pet Dalmatian, Pepper, is stolen, and after several weeks of searching is discovered to have been experimented on at a hospital and died on the table when researchers tried to implant her with an experimental cardiac pacemaker. By the end of my time as researcher, I was performing behavioral experiments on humans.
I could go on and on, it’s that kind of a book—a comprehensive treatment of a species we respect and adore, based on the most current research, written in a style that, while factual, is from the author’s viewpoint, flavoring facts with a witty, observant personal quality. Mitochondrial DNA analysis strikes again.
Since Craig Robson’s “Birds of Thailand” (2002) is taxonomically outdated, the choice was Robson’s “Birds of South-East Asia” (the updated second, 2014 edition of the 2001 classic). Binoculars and a field guide, perhaps a scope and anti-leech hiking socks too. Everything else is secondary. Or tertiary. Or who cares.
As an homage, a contemporary edition of the Bond’s field guide Birds of the West Indies was featured in the twentieth 007 film, Die Another Day (2002), where Bond (Pierce Brosnan) in Cuba poses as an ornithologist. And that is how the Bond was born. The name of the author was carefully scratched off the front cover of the book.
A different research says, from 2002 to 2011 the known populations of forest elephants declined by 62%. Even worse is the situation with Forest Elephants Loxodonta cyclotis of jungles of Central and West Africa. One may say so. I say they were butchered, face-off.
To research this book, he traveled extensively to see as many woodpeckers as he could; this field experience was supplemented with museum research and consultations with other experts, plus a library of print material ranging from field guides to scientific papers. This makes it very difficult to research woodpeckers by genus.
They are large passerines and research has shown them to be an ancient basal offshoot from the passerine tree (at approximately the same time as rockjumpers, were even placed in the same family until quite recently). Then a few years ago the news broke that picathartes had been rediscovered at a community forest reserve in Ghana.
Prior research has shown that the Loons that return in a given year to a given nest on a lake somewhere in Canada or the norther tier of US states are often the same ones that were there the previous year, though with some never returning because they did not survive the trials of migration. But now there is some research on that.
