There are an estimated 3 billion fewer birds in Canada and the United States today than there were in 1970. Long-distance migratory species, like the Hudsonian godwit, are declining at the highest rates. Flying more than 13,000 km each way from Chile to …
Working ‘smarter’ not harder important to natural selection and survival rates, Western researchers find
Groundbreaking study reveals how avian species are pushing physiological limits to escape climate change effects
Research on how animals move around the world helps determine the influence of human activity
Findings from nine-year study in Sierra Nevada could apply to black-capped chickadees in Ontario
Sparrows show increased stress when exposed to more numerous and more severe winter storms, says a Western study that tested the songbirds’ resilience to the effects of climate change.
The fear predators inspire in their prey can leave long-lasting traces in the brains of wild animals, comparable to effects seen in humans dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), according to a Western-led study.
Canadian Screen Award nominee The Messenger, which explores the uncertain fate of songbirds, and was partially filmed at Western’s Advanced Facility for Avian Research (AFAR), will show this weekend at London’s Hyland Cinema. Western Biology professor and AFAR...
Now that she’s here, Psychology graduate student Madeleine Brodbeck is ready to change gears.
It’s not that its practices are particularly reticent – they’ve just been seldom discussed. That is, until now. Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry professors Nagalingam (Raj) Rajakumar and Timothy Regnault hope to engage members of the Western community – and...
The beating of a bird’s wings may soon be all the power Western Biology professor Chris Guglielmo needs to generate limitless data on his feathered friends.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-eKQMK0YwM Western researchers, in association with Canadian documentary filmmaker Su Rynard, are sounding the alarm about the mass depletion of songbirds in the Americas in a new film, debuting on CBC this week. SongbirdSOS debuts at...
Tired jokes about men, women and sense of direction have existed since the dawn of time. A new study at Western, however, has shown female brown-headed cowbirds perform spatial tasks better than their male counterparts.
