Abstract: Boldness can be quantified as latency to access resources in novel contexts. Although social interactions influence boldness, especially in species such as zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) that are sociable and live in groups, the boldness… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2021.113071
Abstract: Diluted bitumen (dilbit) is an unconventional crude petroleum increasingly being extracted and transported to market by pipeline and tanker. Despite the transport of dilbit through terrestrial, aquatic, and coastal habitat important to diverse bird fauna,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/joa.12809
Abstract: Comparative developmental studies have shown that the retina of altricial fish and mammals is incompletely developed at birth, and that, during the first days of life, maturation proceeds rapidly. In contrast, precocial fish and mammals… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.225524
Abstract: ABSTRACT Desert birds inhabit hot, dry environments that are becoming hotter and drier as a consequence of climate change. Extreme weather such as heatwaves can cause mass-mortality events that may significantly impact populations and species.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1637/11823-030518-resnote.1
Abstract: SUMMARY. Domesticated Australian and Timor zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata castanotis and Taeniopygia guttata guttata, respectively) were inoculated with canary (Serinus canaria) blood containing a Hawaiian isolate of Plasmodium relictum (lineage GRW04), a hemoparasite that causes… read more here.
