Birders who submit their checklists to eBird likely know that their data may be used to conduct research on avian migration, range, or population. It has also been used by researchers from other fields, such as economists. I emailed the Dr. Lopez and asked about this research and the use of eBird data.
And it prohibits human infrastructure, e.g. , roads, buildings, dams, and pipelines, etc. There is also a research institute dedicated to wilderness: the Aldo Leopold Wilderness Research Institute is an interagency facility located at the University of Montana.
His second book on migration is a tale of many birds and many research studies all connected by the theme of migration and by his thoughtful narrative voice. Even if you have read about these research projects, Weidensaul’s accounts offer fresh angles and updated information. is through the personal and the specific.
The six chapters that follow explore bird communication in mating; defending territory; rearing children; responding to predators; interacting with neighbors and functioning in large groups; and communicating successfully in a noisy human world. I do wish there was more about research on female bird song. There is so much here!
I was doing my thesis research at the time, and it even affected what I was doing, as the wild world was being reconceptualized in terms of tannins and alkaloids, seed edators and dispersers, and so on. I remember taking an advanced seminar in plant-animal interaction, in preparation for my own study of human-plant interactions.
Baby birds are cuteness personified, possibly even more so than other baby animals, including human babies, and pose interesting questions of survival and development. Baby birds may be separated from the nest and their parents because of natural occurrences (violent weather, floods) or unknowing human interference or predators.
It seems there is not much research done specifically on Blue-naped Parrots – the only paper I could find featuring the species was from 1981 and had the somewhat unappealing title “A Preliminary Study Comparing the Pharmacokinetics of Ampicillin Given Orally and Intramuscularly to Psittacines: Amazon Parrots (Amazond spp.)
The breeding ecology of the Yellow-bellied Warbler was actually studied exactly here at Nonggang in 2019 by 3 Chinese researchers. Apparently, some bird photographers think that any human artifacts shown on a bird photo immediately spoil the whole photo. This included recording a total of 77,760 minutes of video.
Drug and chemical companies say they endorse a Europe-wide initiative intended to eventually end the use of animals in research and safety testing. A report published by a panel of experts from industry, academic institutions and regulatory bodies supports an initiative aimed at finding alternatives to animal research.
In many ways, the average customer now carries the sum of all human knowledge in their pocket on their smartphones. Today, as many as 88 percent of consumers perform online research ahead of time before they buy a product. Reaching educated buyers is ultimately about providing helpful resources when they need it most.
The latest research from Quantum shows that nearly half of younger employees, those under age 35, feel burned out.

Share with them the statistics of reps who are doing it right and show them how quick call backs could positively impact their commissions. Lead Follow-Up.
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.
Increased scrutiny of practices long considered the norm in wildlife management, including predator hunts, commercial trapping, the legal culling of non-game birds like American Crows, and some of the research protocols used to track and translocate wild animals. were funded by hunters and 95.1% funded by the non-hunting public.”
Once a body of research was established and the bird was declared endangered, it took many more years of experimentation, political maneuvering, conflicts with the National Guard, and some tragic fires to establish what is now acclaimed as a model conservation project. Now there are volunteer guides, tours and a local festival.
” A group of nine researchers published a paper titled “Exploring the fecal microbiome of the Eurasian Nuthatch (Sitta europaea)” Makes you wonder what they talked about during their lunch breaks. But while humans mainly try to stay slim and fit for health reasons, Eurasian Siskins care more about the danger of being eaten.
One paper – describing research conveniently done at the university campus of Chittagong University, presumably close to the canteen – looks at resource partitioning between this bee-eater and another one, the chestnut-headed bee-eater. Still, it was worth it for seeing several Asian Green Bee-eaters alone.
Way back when I started what turned out to be my thesis research (on humans), it became important for me to learn about bird migration. I was involved in the study of human movement and navigation on land, and there was a lot of research coming out about bird navigation. Itcher birds, migratory members of the tern family.

This is a project that clearly spanned decades. Van Der Donck Meadows in the 1700s, with an Indian trail crossing it where W.
Give researchers an expensive toy such as a Scanning Electron Microscope, and they will use it on anything at hand. And as in the human world, the suitability of these holes decreases with time (presumably some of the really old ones do not even have wifi yet).
It even seems that the pliant researchers indirectly support the fighting (even though it has led to the species being one of the most hunted ones in that province) by developing a quick method to identify the sex of the bird (the males turn out to be somewhat bigger and thus presumably the more coveted fighters). Shame on the researchers.
Activists from ALF are claiming responsibility for a fire that caused an estimated $300,000 damage to Scientific Resources International. The concept of animals existing as "resources" is utterly despicable, and we vow to do all in our power to run businesses like these into the ground.
One paper describes them breeding in a human settlement in abandoned clay jars. When one Chinese researcher was very bored, he had a bright idea: Why not publish a paper on the complete mitochondrial genome of the Rhinoceros Hornbill ? Now pairs of hornbills feed outside this correspondent’s window”.
