New paper out! Corticosterone & glucose show comparable response patterns to 2 stimuli triggering increases in metabolic rate (⏬🌡️) and a "stress response" (restraint). Both traits were also highly correlated (not at baseline). Check it to know more! 👇 journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/do…

We recently published a paper on habitat selection of rocky features and terrain by Eurasian #lynx with #LiDAR data from two study sites in Europe in #LandscapeEcology. Lynx selected outcrops and rocky areas, especially for day-resting, see more here: doi.org/10.1007/s10980…

There are many reports of feather color mutations in birds- but almost none of abnormal eye colors! Our new paper in Southeastern Naturalist began when I saw a Facebook post about a Red-bellied Woodpecker in Florida with white (not red-brown) eyes. (1/4) doi.org/10.1656/058.02…

Finally we got our #SilentCities dataset published! With 261 colleagues around the globe we collected audio when human isolation during the #covid19 pandemic had drastically changed the #soundscape of the urban ecosystem. Birds vs cars #tech4wildlife doi.org/10.1038/s41597…

Many people think a bird that can fly away after a window collision is okay. Birds often sustain serious unseen injuries, such as bruising, eye ulcers and fractures. Visit flap.org for further advice on how to help: flap.org/finding-an-inj… #GlobalBirdRescue

Impacts of cats on biodiversity have been, are, and (as shown by this new preprint) will be huge Authors reviewed threats to almost 4500 tetrapods to predict that within 50 years some 140 species could be driven to extinction by cats in a bussiness-as-usual scenario (1/3)

I should probably listen to what I actually said first before I promote it, but it was SO fun to talk to Quirks & Quarks about this with my amazing students!
