Using a broad-scale automated telemetry array, we explored post-fledging movements of blackpoll warblers breeding in Atlantic Canada.

We demonstrated that both young a...

Mountain slopes in periglacial environments are affected by frost- and gravity-driven processes that shape the landscape. Both rock glaciers rockslides have been intensively inventoried worldwide. Although most inventories traditionally based on morphologic criteria, kinematic approaches satellite remote sensing more recently used to identify moving landforms at regional scale. In this study, w...
