Study: Temperature influences bird diversity loss in Mexico
2015-07-07 15:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: A wide-ranging study of gains and losses of populations of bird species across Mexico in the 20th century shows shifts in temperature due to global climate change are the primary environmental influence on the distributions of bird species. Of all drivers examined only temperature change had significant impacts on avifaunal turnover; neither precipitation change nor human impacts on landscapes had significant effects, wrote the authors of the study, which appeared recently in the peer-reviewed...

OU Students Use Nation's Weather Radar Network To Track Bird Migration At Night
2015-07-07 06:30:08| rfglobalnet News Articles
Using the nation’s weather radar network, two University of Oklahoma doctoral students have developed a technique for forecasting something other than the weather: the orientation behavior of birds as they migrate through the atmosphere at night. The students have discovered a way to use the latest dual-polarization radar upgrade to measure broad-scale flight orientation of nocturnal migrant birds—a promising development for biologists and bird enthusiasts.

Past water patterns drive present wading bird numbers
2015-06-25 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Previously, existing water conditions were seen as the primary driving factor affecting numbers of birds, but this research shows that the preceding years' water conditions and availability are equally important. "We've known for some time that changes in water levels trigger a significant response by...
