The difference in the jitteryness of the lines has to do with sample size. There are way more North American birds in the sample than European, owing to differences in the quality of the data. The larger North American sample sizes smooth out the line.

Read what you want about the origin of domestic cats; the genetic evidence is not properly sampled. The majority of wildcats live today in Africa, and virtually none of them have provided the DNA from which supposed histories of domestication have been constructed by researchers. The latter is the most significant.

They are a commensal species, meaning that they are a wild animal that lives in close association with humans, not as a pet or as a farm animal but more like a parasite, to the extent that it is hard to find them in truely wild settings, and it is hard to find human settlements without them. When a car comes along they fly away.

Having warned to her theme she introduces her villain of the piece, the AMNH researcher Chris Filardi, who collected a kingfisher.

Researchers in one study monitored workers at five commercial laundry plants, including one plant that served as a natural control group since it didn’t implement the wellness program.

Both were led by strong, intelligent women who needed to develop new ways of making their points with the public and the government; both movements were lynchpins in developing today’s values of human rights and environmental conservation.

Several recent studies have found that tinamous are embedded within the ratites, which means that either they regained the ability to fly or (as many researchers feel is more likely) that flightlessness and large body size arose multiple times within the paleognaths, a topic discussed in detail at Tetrapod Zoology.

If you choose the latter, your music taste is more aligned with that of Java Sparrows (though the sample size in this study , 4 birds, of which 2 preferred Bach while the other two showed no clear preference, seems rather small).

Ackerman’s new book is about owls and owl research–the knowledge recently and currently being discovered through DNA analysis, new-tech tracking and monitoring, and old-fashioned fieldwork under the auspices of organizations like the Global Owl Project and the Owl Research Institute.

for a sample of more than 800 species ( source ). The website then hastens to add that “Unfortunately, there isn’t much scientific research on the poop of the upland buzzard” I bet some ornithology students do not find this particularly unfortunate. Some ornithological research is surprisingly simple.
