In addition to these changes in classification and distribution, there are larger issues that may play a role in the overall future of the Galápagos as a protected area; conservationists are facing increasing pressure from the tourism industry and the international fishing industry. The 11th chapter is on research and conservation challenges.

The rise in drone popularity over the past few years has been meteoric — and in our typical human arrogance, we’ve once again ignored the fact that for the past 150 million years, the sky has belonged to the birds. It’s quite possible that further research into the internal stress indicators of birds may reveal similar findings.

For humans, you have the drama of sister wives. And for wild pheasants ( Common , in Europe; or Ring-necked , stateside), a bigger group may actually present an existential danger. Newly published research in the journal Animal Behaviour suggests an ideal harem size for pheasants of 2.7 female birds for every male.

Here are the results of the EU flirtation with restricting research on primates. Researchers can continue most experiments on mankind's closest relatives -- chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans -- after European Union lawmakers watered down proposals to restrict testing. Nothing, nothing makes me angrier than animal researchers.

Maybe those should be protected too? Given that the Black Kite is politely described as an “opportunistic hunter” – which includes the fact that they are more likely to scavenge than most other raptors – the name choice of the company protecting the world’s cyber ecosystem is a bit weird.

For example, years ago, Eiton Tchenrov postulated that the wild progenitor of the domestic dog, some subspecies or another of wolf, could benefit from overlapping its breeding territory with human hunters. The humans tended to keep away a range of predators that might take the pups as a form of interference competition.

Fortunately for the honor of the species, the researchers found that kleptoparasitism was practiced at a low rate (4% of observations) while much more often, drongos captured insects disturbed by other species (41% of observations). The associated bird species seek out drongos, apparently relying upon them heavily for protection.

Anyway, one of the babblers of Sepilok is the Bornean Black-capped Babbler – the result of a split of the Black-capped Babbler (well, at least from a human perspective – the birds themselves are probably quite nonchalant about it).

However recent research has shown that they are in fact not baboons, despite superficial appearances, and they are now just called “Gelada”. they are the most terrestrial primate after humans. This has resulted in their populations returning to natural levels and their fear of humans being curtailed. Male Gelada in his prime.

The purpose of her trip was to study the behavior of the resident chimpanzees in order to better understand humans. It was through her research that she learned how chimpanzees make and use tools, eat meat and engage in war-like activity. What she learned then added to our understanding of what means to be human.

It’s relatively easy to classify birds into family groups based on physical characteristics. It’s very hard to organize the many ways in which human beings relate to avian beings into comprehensible text. We worship birds, we hunt birds, we protect birds, and, yes, we eat birds. As they say, the relationship is complicated.
