DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.5c03152

Abstract: Seed-eating birds that use agricultural areas could be exposed to neonicotinoids through several pathways, including ingestion of treated seeds. Previous studies in birds have found sublethal exposure to neonicotinoids can reduce body mass and fat… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.220266

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.

DOI: 10.1152/physiol.2023.38.s1.5733375

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.
