To ensure that geolocators and GPS tags did not reduce the survival of chats, we compared the apparent annual survivorship of birds with tracking devices to birds banded, but not given tracking devices. The dataset spanned 2013–2019 for adult birds in BC where field technicians resighted chats...
Even with all the mysteries surrounding these birds, Nevada is far outside their usual range—and it’s not clear how or why the yellow-billed loon ended up at the Bellagio. Whatever the reason for its unexpected pitstop,Donald Price, a biologist at the Universi...

U.S. and Chinese geologists studying China's Yellow River have created a new tool that could help Chinese officials better predict and prevent the river's all-too-frequent floods, which threaten as many as 80 million people. The new tool, a physics-based
“Her Fantasy” sets the tone – it sounds like the opening song-and-dance routine from one of those animal-themed Pixar movies, birds buzzing along to an uplifting beat and electronic effervescence. Dear’s music still sounds like an electro LCD Soundsystem if Beck was the band-leader, ...
Eastern and western birds form distinct phylogeographic entities and the clustering of all western haplotypes with two eastern haplotypes suggests that the western haplotypes may be derived from an eastern lineage. Analyses based on coalescent models support this explanation for the origin of western ...
Understanding mechanisms responsible for population declines of migratory birds requires knowledge of factors limiting population growth at all stages of the annual cycle. Interspecific brood parasites are known to have negative, short-term impacts on the reproductive success of their hosts and co...
