The American Veterinary Medical Foundation (AVMF) and the Veterinary Pharmacology Research Foundation (VPRF) selected two veterinary researchers as recipients of the organizations’ 2022-23 pharmacology research grants.
This award recognizes a veterinarian who has brought honor and distinction to the veterinary profession through personal, professional, or community service activities that are conducted outside the scope of organized veterinary medicine or research.
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. The book is organized into ten chapters, framed by a Prologue and Epilogue focused on Weidensaul’s banding experience in Denali National Park.
Fortunately, local researchers have been well aware of the dire need to learn about this species so it can be adequately protected. Carman have organized a Birdathon to raise funds for the Cabanis’s Ground-Sparrow project. The White-eared Ground-Sparrow is much more common. Check out the video!
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.
Out of the corner of your eye, something menacing and not quite organic appears. The scientists hope this research will help guide ethical drone use around birds. After all, getting a true bird’s-eye view of avians affords all kinds of new research opportunities.) And now a bunch of them are staring intently at you.
I am familiar with the shorebird banding program in Peru, as the programs is run by CORBIDI, a small non-government organization (NGO) dedicated to the study and conservation of birds, other wildlife, and their habitats. Eveling Tavera, a research associate with CORBIDI is Peru’s national coordinator for the banding program.

Whittaker’s adventures in olfactory research take unexpected turns into genetics, chemistry, and the halls of academia. Whittaker’s research road is more serpentine than most academics. ” (p. It’s taken a critical mass of women scientists to be heard and to be respected.
Devoted internet observers may recognize this beer’s name from a humorous fad that emerged several years ago in the wake (pardon the pun) of the Boaty McBoatface controversy , when that dubious name won what had been intended as a serious online poll to name a scientific research vessel.
Unlike Desi, the researchers involved don’t think the owls are curling up in a nice warm bed in a hut in the woods, but they don’t have much better answers than that, at least not yet. Three owls have already had the devices attached and some pretty interesting data is being collected. That is where YOU come in!
I have always assumed that scientific researchers can overlay weather information on checklists for their research, but absent manual entry, that such information would not be available to me. I want to help environmental and researchorganizations create more useful tools and resources.
Researchers at Dauphin Island Sea Lab in Alabama conducting a two-year study focusing on the diets of Tiger Sharks in the Gulf of Mexico have made an alarming discovery: not only are these sharks eating the expected fish and other assorted marine organisms, but they’re also eating land-based songbirds!
It is now an unincorporated organized territory of the United States. SOPI) is the leading ornithological organization and it performs research, education, and outreach. Much of the research regarding Caribbean ecology and ornithology has been conducted in Puerto Rico. Research is ongoing. Puerto Rico is a U.S.
In what has become the modern-day traditional method of organization, species are listed and described on the left-hand page and illustrative plates are on the right. Species Accounts are smartly designed, utilizing font color and size to organize information and help the user quickly find it. More on Species Accounts.
But, unlike most books focused on a bird family, this one is organized geographically. The outline headings help a lot (I’m a big fan of any form of overt organization). The organization works out quite logically if you are planning a trip to, let’s say, New Zealand. Press, 2011).
10,000 Birds is running a series of articles by and about tour guides, tour companies, eco-lodges, and other birding travel organizations. These researchers preferred this property for their research due to its close proximity to the Arenal Volcano and resplendent natural environment.
Holt founded the Owl Research Institute , an organization that focuses on long-term studies of a variety of species of owls, as well as their prey species and environments. The ORI maintains a research station in the Mission Valley of Western Montana, neighboring the Ninepipes National Wildlife Refuge. Why Ninepipes?
He now runs the Colorado Avian Research and Rehabilitation Institute out of Estes Park. The book’s weaknesses are mainly in the organization of the text. As with many of the books I’ve seen from Schiffer Publishing, the lavish illustrations here are one of the book’s great strengths.
Though researchers who mind eBird data will no doubt benefit from these data.) Rather, according to the organizers, “This program aims to give a picture of the power of field work, to help non-counters to improve their counting skills, and to increase the number of counters worldwide.”
An impressive combination of research and artwork, combined with a pragmatic organization aimed towards quick identification, and education, Baby Bird Identification extends the frontiers of bird identification guides and is an important contribution to wildlife rehabilitation literature.
Our small group spent a weekend at the Ferret Research Camp, a cluster of trailers tucked in the middle of a black-tailed prairie dog town and the site, as the name implies, of a black-footed ferret reintroduction program. In the winters the snow lies heavy and researchers travel in and out by small plane.
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.
There’s been some interesting bird research lately, having to do with the origin of birds ( new analysis of new and old fossils ) and the overarching taxonomy ( using DNA analysis ) but I’ve not had a chance to absorb this weighty new knowledge so I’ll probably write about it next month.

They eat only seafood, including fish, squid, krill and other organisms. One part of this question can be answered with some very interesting recent research. People call them “flightless birds&# but they do in fact fly; They just do it underwater. The fossils were very well preserved and included feathers.
