Plastic behaviors are not automatically unrelated to natural selection, but the way those behaviors vary across individuals or across groups may not be best explained by underlying genetic differences. My research in the Congo supports this idea. Clearly, more research is needed! The paper is in Natrure Scientific Reports.

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. Previous research has shown that wading bird nesting colonies could provide substantial food for alligators in the form of dropped chicks.

In my public speaking to various birding groups over the years, I have been trying to get birders to take more responsibility for the place we find ourselves. Money will spill over to sponsor research projects, money to support nature centers, money to fund education. However, I reacted totally differently. Advertisers will notice.

In fact, the two groups appear to belong near parrots and passerines, which are now thought to be sister clades. But what no major checklist has yet done (to my knowledge) is to take the next step and rearrange the order in which these groups of birds are presented. Some of this should sound familiar.

Many general and master falconers with wild birds will also let them go after a few hunting seasons, especially if they are good hunters to give them a shot at spreading their genes in the wild. When you see a falconer transporting their bird or walking with a group, the bird might be in a dark crate or hooded. Go home now!”

After a quick lunch we researched our rental car possibilities and by 3 pm we were driving away in a rental car towards Ibera Marshes. Soon a large group of Great Dusky Swifts started flying in an out of the water falls attracting our attention. We rushed to the bus station and got one immediately for a 20 hr ride to Iguazu Falls.

Our small group spent a weekend at the Ferret Research Camp, a cluster of trailers tucked in the middle of a black-tailed prairie dog town and the site, as the name implies, of a black-footed ferret reintroduction program. In the winters the snow lies heavy and researchers travel in and out by small plane.

Claims for shark fins include relieving joint pain and curing cancer, though no research is available to back any of these claims. Fin hunters also rarely care what type of shark they remove the fin from, threatening both endangered and at risk species with extinction. Let’s try to save these important apex predators.

The topic was the concept of humans as predators, or hunters, or really, eaters of meat, and I was discussing the many ways in which people misconceived this notion. The third argument comes from the Berkeley group. I did do some research on this topic, working with others. Perhaps we can discuss that some other time.

Their populations, plus those of other species that ‘wore’ the coveted long, colorful feathers used for women’s fashionable hats, were being dangerously depleted by hunters intent on feeding the millinery industry. As a librarian and women’s studies scholar, I greatly appreciate the research. This is where Boase excels.

It’s relatively easy to classify birds into family groups based on physical characteristics. Jonathan Elphick and John Fanshawe provided “specialist research” and support.” The Select Bibliography, 13 pages of books and articles consulted and researched, is excellent but limited in that it does not include online references.

In 2012, I reviewed The Jewel Hunter , an absorbing narrative in which author Chris Goodie travelled throughout Asia, Africa, and Australasia to observe and photograph every Pitta species in the world. A passion for one bird family is also very useful. Like all talented travel writers, Dunn is adept at drawing us into his experiences.

You see, in German we have three distinct words for different groups of owls. When researching the origin of this saying, I figured it pertained to snares that were used to catch thrushes until better times prevailed. I’d like to point out though that “owly“ is a poor translation. Yupp, you read that correctly.

I write ‘focus-on-the-birds’ because it is highly probable that Harper had drawn birds before, but not in a highly focused manner that involved research, which he engaged in very seriously, and observation of bird behavior. A tradition was born.

For my new book, due out in 2012 from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, I’ve been researching sandhill crane hunting. Nationwide, wildlife watchers now outspend hunters 6 to 1. I’ve received letters and emails from a number of avid hunters who find the concept of shooting cranes repugnant.

Way back when I started what turned out to be my thesis research (on humans), it became important for me to learn about bird migration. I was involved in the study of human movement and navigation on land, and there was a lot of research coming out about bird navigation. Consider the implications.

I was in contact with a group of birders for whom I arranged and guided an annual tour to Africa. They are large passerines and research has shown them to be an ancient basal offshoot from the passerine tree (at approximately the same time as rockjumpers, were even placed in the same family until quite recently).
