Author Rebecca Heisman has crafted a book about bird migration, scientific process, and creativity that’s informative, engaging, and inspiring. Some are portrayed in greater life detail than others but never to the extent that the personality overshadows the science. THIS IMAGE NOT IN THE BOOK. Schulman, 2023.

In light of spring’s recent arrival, do you ever find yourself wondering how some species are able to withstand freezing, wintery days and yet still thrive in summer’s heat? My research proposal “ Towards a mechanistic understanding of feather colors ”, investigates the genetic basis for color patterns in birds. Maria’s Project.

Every time a gene is replicated, or really, a chromosome (during cell division), a bit of the end of a gene may be lost, owing to the way this process happens. This is part of the process of aging. City Great Tit ( Parus major ) telomeres shortened. Telomeres are repetitive sequences of genetic material sitting at the ends of genes.

Being lazy, a bunch of researchers used camera traps to investigate the species rather than following the birds directly (which would have had some health benefits). They found that the species is diurnal (well, using cameras, would they even have seen nightly activities?), ” Full iteration! ” Full iteration!

Even if you don’t live in the summer range of a particular species, you may have opportunities to observe it while it passes through, especailly if you live in an active flyway, like I happen to. In addition, there may be some built-in (genetic) processing ability. The birds do the flying for you. Well, not really.
