Taxonomyuses rigorous rules of nomenclature to classify living beings, so every known species has a given ‘name’ and ‘surname’. The revision of certain taxonomic groups (particularly through genetic analyses) is favouring the proliferation of nominally new species, often propelled by virtue of th...
International Migratory Bird Dayis actually celebrated in Canada and the US in May and in Mexico, Central & South America, and the Caribbean in October- there are events in multiple locations, so one may be near you You can volunteer for or donate to theBoreal Centre for Bird Conservation ...

(2013)demonstrated that functional traits affect the response of tropical bird species towards land-use intensity. Tropical forest specialist birds seem to decrease globally in probability of presence and abundance in more intensively used forests. This patterns extends to many taxonomic groups and the ...
The study revealed that the first Indigenous people not only survived but thrived in harsh environments, providing further evidence of the capacity and resilience of the ancestors of Indigenous people, and suggests large, well-organised groups were able to navigate tough terrain.
