Migratory blackpoll warblers (Setophaga striata) make regional-scale movements that are not oriented toward their migratory goal during fall
BACKGROUND Regional scale movement patterns of songbirds are poorly known largely due to difficulties tracking small organisms at broad scales. Using an array of over 100 automated radio telemetry towers, we followed Blackpoll Warblers (Setophaga striata) during fall migration in the Gulf of Maine region, and assessed how their regional scale movement pathways varied with age, distance to natal...
متن کاملContinental-scale, seasonal movements of a heterothermic migratory tree bat.
Long-distance migration evolved independently in bats and unique migration behaviors are likely, but because of their cryptic lifestyles, many details remain unknown. North American hoary bats (Lasiurus cinereus cinereus) roost in trees year-round and probably migrate farther than any other bats, yet we still lack basic information about their migration patterns and wintering locations or strat...
متن کاملDemographic and Spatiotemporal Patterns of Avian Influenza Infection at the Continental Scale, and in Relation to Annual Life Cycle of a Migratory Host
Since the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 in the eastern hemisphere, numerous surveillance programs and studies have been undertaken to detect the occurrence, distribution, or spread of avian influenza viruses (AIV) in wild bird populations worldwide. To identify demographic determinants and spatiotemporal patterns of AIV infection in long distance migratory waterfowl in...
متن کاملBlackpoll Warbler (dendroica Striata) Fat Deposition in Southern Nova Scotia during Autumn Migration
There is considerable evidence that the Blackpoll Warbler (Dendroica striata) undertakes a non-stop, transoceanic, fall migration from New England and Atlantic Canada to South America. However, this unique migration strategy is not yet clearly understood. Based on flight range estimates, Blackpoll Warblers must require large amounts of fat for this flight. I captured Blackpoll Warblers during f...
متن کاملCraneTracker: A Multi-Modal Platform for Monitoring Migratory Birds on a Continental Scale
Low-cost wireless sensor networks (WSNs) provide novel opportunities for conservation efforts. This paper will demonstrate a new hardware platform for monitoring Whooping Cranes, which conduct migrations that extend from Texas to Canada. This high mobility necessitates a multi-modal communications architecture to maintain connectivity. As such, the traditional ZigBee radio used in WSNs has been...
