Simulation-based reconstruction of global bird migration over the past 50,000 years.
Marius Somveille, Martin Wikelski, Robert M Beyer, Ana S L Rodrigues, Andrea Manica, Walter Jetz
Mar 25, 2020
Migration is a widespread response of birds to seasonally varying climates. As seasonality is particularly pronounced during interglacial periods, this raises the question of the significance of bird migration during past...

Inherent SM Voltage Balance for Multilevel Circulant Modulation in Modular Multilevel DC--DC Converters
Shiyuan Fan, Xin Xiang, Jing Sheng, Yunjie Gu, Huan Yang, Wuhua Li, Xiangning He, Timothy C Green
Feb 01, 2022
The modularity of a modular multilevel dc converter (MMDC) makes it attractive for medium-voltage distribution systems. Inherent balance of submodule (SM) capacitor voltages is considered as an ideal property, which avoids a...

Riparian reserves help protect forest bird communities in oil palm dominated landscapes
Conversion of forest to oil palm agriculture is a significant and ongoing threat to tropical biodiversity. Despite this, little is known about the value of riparian reserves in oil palm and how these conservation set‐asides...
Mortality cost of sex-specific parasitism in wild bird populations
Jose O. Valdebenito, András Liker, Naerhulan Halimubieke, Jordi Figuerola, Tamas Szekely
Dec 02, 2020
Sex-specific mortality is frequent in animals although the causes of different male versus female mortalities remain poorly understood. Parasitism is ubiquitous in nature with widespread detrimental effects to hosts, making...
External data required timely response by the Trial Steering-Data Monitoring Committee for the NALoxone InVEstigation (N-ALIVE) pilot trial
The prison-based N-ALIVE pilot trial had undertaken to notify the Research Ethics Committee and participants if we had reason to believe that the N-ALIVE pilot trial would not proceed to the main trial. In this paper, we...

On the maintenance of bird song dialects
Many bird species, especially song birds but also for instance some
hummingbirds and parrots, have noted dialects. By this we mean that locally a particular song is sung by the majority of the birds, but that neighbouring...

Scavenging and predatory wildlife can ingest lead (Pb) from lead-based ammunition and become poisoned when feeding on shot game animals. Humans can similarly be exposed to ammunition-derived lead when consuming wild-shot game...
Roads as a contributor to landscape-scale variation in bird communities
Abstract: Roads and their traffic can affect wildlife over large areas and, in regions with dense road networks, may influence a high proportion of the ecological landscape. We assess the abundance of 75 bird species in relation...
Bird conservation and the land sharing-sparing continuum in farmland-dominated landscapes of lowland England.
Tom Finch, Simon Gillings, Rhys E Green, Dario Massimino, Will J Peach, Andrew Balmford
Jul 05, 2019
Empirical evidence from many regions suggests that most species would be least negatively affected if human food demand were met through high-yield agricultural production and conservation of nonfarm ecosystems (land sparing)...
