How to choose bird feeders; how to make nutritious bird food; how to create a backyard environment that will attract birds; how to survey your feeder birds for citizen science projects; how to prevent squirrels from gobbling up all your black oil sunflower seed (sorry, none of that works). in 2011*) came about. Baicich, Margaret A.
In 2011, he studied inside sales reps at a North American financial institution and found that they thought more about non-monetary rewards (prizes that didn’t have explicit cash values, such as experiences) than cash rewards. Researchers across the world have used the same approach with other groups to replicate the results.
There are over 5,000 species of frogs in existence (5,858 at the time the book was written, the exact number changes as research dictates re-arrangements of taxonomy and new species are discovered). This exhibit has been making the rounds of science museums, and if comes to your area I highly recommend it, not just for kids.
I would be more apt to accept the science of BBI if the science of hemispheric brain functions was not subject to so much misconceptions and simplification.* I wish Karlson and Rosselet had cited scientific articles explaining the basics of brain psychobiology to support their ideas.
Exercise is a vital component of a healthy lifestyle, and research suggests that owning a pet helps increase levels of physical activity. Spring 2011. The WALTHAM® Centre for Pet Nutrition provides the science behind our leading petcare brands. A recent survey of 1,000 U.S. The Brentwood YMCA, November 6. Portland, Ore.
It contains numerous citations to the literature, as the process must be based on the best available science. Specifically, the notice summarizes the long history of Hawaiian Goose conservation, including written recovery plans in 1983 and 2004 , implementation of those plans, and research, including a population viability analysis.
By Julie • March 14, 2011 • 18 comments Tweet Share ACTION ALERT! Tomorrow, MARCH 15, 2011, is the deadline for public comment on a proposal to hunt sandhill cranes in Kentucky. For my new book, due out in 2012 from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, I’ve been researching sandhill crane hunting. Not sure what that is.
UNLESS that is you get yourself down to the internationally-renowned Tambopata Research Centre in southern Peru where literally hundreds of macaws (and other parrots) congregate around a 50 meter high clay bank. The clay consumed at the colpa contains chemicals that bind with these ingested alkaloids thus neutralizing their toxicity.
The authors set June/July 2011 as the cut-off date, and were able to add noteworthy records up to November 2012, the date the manuscript was sent to the publisher. New species that were documented from Fall 2011 through Summer 2012 are listed in one of the appendices. What does it mean in the larger sense?
11 Responses to “A Problem with Gulls&# Mike Mar 4th, 2011 at 2:07 pm This is terrific, Dan, and terrifically daunting. Dan Mar 4th, 2011 at 3:35 pm Thanks Mike! Redgannet Mar 4th, 2011 at 7:39 pm I usually solve my gull identification problems by looking the other way and pretending I haven’t seen them.
It is not an encyclopedia, though it does summarize research, explain basic concepts, and ends with a section on bird statistics. It is a fascinating book that teaches while it entertains, that offers research-informed arguments for bird protection and conservation in the guise of vibrant design. Princeton University Press, 2011.
But it is utterly bewildering to me to see news reports about this recent science that read “… An icon knocked from its perch&# or “Archaeopteryx no longer first bird.&# And this is where the latest research related to Archaeopteryx comes in. Archaeopteryx went right back to being a bird again. Du, K., & Han, F.
The first half describes the problem (why birds hit windows, the scale of the deaths, scientific research, what happens when birds strike windows) and the second half discusses what to do about it (community and worldwide education, window deterrent solutions, legal mandates and building codes, citizen science–what individuals can do).
Several years ago, I read about the enormous colonies of breeding birds in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and I did some research to satisfy my curiosity. ( Google Scholar is an excellent resource and free full-text PDFs can be located for many papers, particularly when research is taxpayer-funded.
Chapter Two is a potpourri of stories about nemesis birds, birding by ear, birding for science, under the rubric of birding ‘for the love of it.’ ’ What was left to write about? ’ “Is this going to be a collection of essays?
The photographs are from VIREO, the ornithological image collection associated with the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, which licenses bird photographs to many guides and reference books. I am particularly happy to see that the bird communication section includes recent research on singing female birds.

But seriously, Science has a more interesting set of answers, and some recently published research on European Robins helps to examine this question in some detail. Applied Animal Behaviour Science Volume 29, Issues 1-4, February 1991, Pages 403-451 a. Why is the Robin’s breast red? J.M., & Rodríquez-Sánchez.
