Neotropical Bird Migration during the Ice Ages: Orientation and Ecology
--Reconstruction f breeding habitat of North American Neotropical migrants 18,000 years ago and 9,000 years ago indicated major shifts in both location and composition of plant communities relative to present conditions. Increased vegetation in xeric areas may have compensated, at least in part, for the reduction in breeding habitat due to glaciation. Autumnal flights of Neotropical passerine m...
متن کاملthe relationship between field-related cognitive styles and global reading comprehension of hypertext
this study investigates the relationship between field-related cognitive styles and global reading comprehension of hypertext. technically, field dependency is prevailing dominance of field on perception of parts, while global comprehension is skim-like reading to grasp the general content. in this research project, 60 senior and junior students of arak university majoring in english literature...
15 صفحه اولSpatio-temporal dynamics of global H5N1 outbreaks match bird migration patterns.
The global spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 in poultry, wild birds and humans, poses a significant pandemic threat and a serious public health risk. An efficient surveillance and disease control system relies on the understanding of the dispersion patterns and spreading mechanisms of the virus. A space-time cluster analysis of H5N1 outbreaks was used to identify spatio-temporal ...
متن کاملGlobal patterns of specialization and coexistence in bird assemblages
Methods We use two indices of specialization that describe species-level resource use: diet and habitat specialization. The relationship between richness and mean assemblage-level specialization was independently assessed at realm, biome-realm, 12,100 km equal-area grid cells and fine-grained scales. To identify assemblages that are diverse relative to environmental conditions we: (1) applied q...
متن کاملBird song, ecology and speciation.
The study of bird song dialects was once considered the most promising approach for investigating the role of behaviour in reproductive divergence and speciation. However, after a series of studies yielding conflicting results, research in the field slowed significantly. Recent findings, on how ecological factors may lead to divergence in both song and morphology, necessitate a re-examination. ...
