Growing evidence links traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) to adverse health effects. We designed an innovative and extensive mobile monitoring campaign characterize TRAP exposure levels for the Adult Changes in Thought (ACT) study, a Seattle-based cohort. The measured particle number concentration (PNC) capture ultrafine particles (UFP), black carbon (BC), nitrogen dioxide (NO

The rapid pace and potentially irreversible consequences of global change create an urgent need to predict the spatial responses biota for conservation better inform prioritization management terrestrial habitats prevent future extinctions. Here, we provide accessible entry point field guide near-future work building predictive species distribution models (SDMs) by synthesizing a technical framework proactive avian biodiversity. Our offers useful approach navigate challenges surrounding...

Most species and therefore most hybrid zones have historically been defined using phenotypic characters. However, both speciation hybridization can occur with negligible morphological differentiation. Recently developed genomic tools provide the means to better understand cryptic hybridization. The Northwestern Crow (Corvus caurinus) American brachyrhynchos) are continuously distributed sister taxa that lack reliable traditional characters for identification. In this first population study...

Parasites are incredibly diverse. An important factor in the evolution of this diversity is fact that many parasite species restricted to 1, or just a few, host species. In addition, some parasites exhibit geographic specificity nested within their particular host. The environmental factors restrict regions host's range poorly understood, and it often difficult know whether such patterns real, merely artifacts uneven sampling. For over decade, we sampled communities ectoparasitic lice...

In the painted bunting (Passerina ciris), a North American songbird, populations on Atlantic coast and interior southern United States are known to be allopatric during breeding season, but efforts map connectivity with wintering ranges have been largely inconclusive. Using genomic morphological data from museum specimens banded birds, we found evidence of three genetically differentiated distinct molt-migration phenologies. addition confirming that population remains throughout annual...

We report observations of Thick-billed Euphonias (Euphonia laniirostris) and a Golden-faced Tyrannulet (Zimmerius chrysops) kleptoparasitizing nest material from Red-faced Spinetail (Cranioleuca erythrops) nests in Antioquia, Colombia. (12 ± 1 m, n = 11 encounters) Tyrannulets (10 19) at our study site typically foraged similar heights as the they parasitized (9 m for both nests), consistent with idea that kleptoparasite might steal its home stratum to avoid predation risk associated...

Nocturnal roosting at locations disjunct from daytime foraging areas (hereafter nocturnal roosting) is a common avian behavior on both the breeding and wintering grounds but to our knowledge has not been documented in arboreal passerines during migratory stopover. We report observations of spring migrant Yellow-rumped Warbler (Setophaga coronata) commuting roost site 2.6–3.2 km north its 5.1–9.0 ha home ranges two consecutive stopover days. discuss potential significance this terms habitat...

Range expansions require the dispersal of individual organisms, but behavior is notoriously difficult to study. Eurasian collared‐doves have colonized both Europe and North America this century, with initial invasions proceeding northwestward via ‘jump’ dispersal. The European population has reached carrying capacity, in Americas, where exponential growth continues, little known about behavior. I queried citizen science field notes investigate collared‐dove along Pacific Ocean, a natural...

Abstract Growing evidence links traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) to adverse health effects. We designed an innovative and extensive mobile monitoring campaign characterize TRAP exposure levels for the Adult Changes in Thought (ACT) study, a Seattle-based cohort. The measured particle number concentration (PNC) capture ultrafine particles (UFP), black carbon (BC), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 (CO ) at 309 stop sites representative of collected about 29...
