Abstract: Recent analyses show significant population declines in many abundant avian species, especially marsh-nesting species including the red-winged blackbird (RWBL). Hypothesized causes include reduced nesting success resulting from changing land-use patterns and exposure to contaminants. Our… read more here.

Abstract: Thyroid hormones are key regulators of development and metabolism in vertebrates. Red-winged blackbirds are an altricial species that exhibit an increase in plasma 3,3’, 5-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) levels during the first 5 days post-hatch (dph), begin… read more here.
