Pavel and his colleagues have launched some really interesting research exploring the intersection of birdsong dialects and invasion ecology. Since this research has a strong citizen science component, we want to help Pavel spread the word: What happens with birdsong during invasion of a new territory? Can it work?

Every spring, billions of migratory songbirds in Europe fly north to their breeding grounds. But researchers have now found evidence of a giant European bat that is plucking migrating birds out of the night sky. Several months ago, a group of bat researchers spent the night recording the sounds of a marshy Spanish forest.

Is there a different culture regarding animals in Europe? At a conference in Brussels, Belgium on 6 November, European Commission Vice-President Günter Verheugen, and Science and Research Commissioner Janez Potocnik restated the EU's commitment to the reduction of animal testing. Is public outcry greater? What gives?

It is not an encyclopedia, though it does summarize research, explain basic concepts, and ends with a section on bird statistics. It is a fascinating book that teaches while it entertains, that offers research-informed arguments for bird protection and conservation in the guise of vibrant design.

The continent of Atlantis was about the size of today’s Western Europe, and it sunk into obscurity off the Iberian Peninsula some time between 700 – 750 AD. It was not Europe, but it was Europe-like.&# It is not about Europe at all. And this is where the latest research related to Archaeopteryx comes in.
