Synopsis: Natural sciences: Zoology: Ornithology:

Almost half of all megapode species are threatened with extinction Nancy Clum curator of ornithology at The bronx Zoo said in a statement.

One of the world's most critically endangered species the 6-inch-tall (15 centimeters) bird faces extinction within 10 years according to a statement from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology which released the video.

and it may go extinct before most people even realize it was here John Fitzpatrick executive director of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology said in the statement.

Bird watchers Barr helps monitor mercury levels in avocets and other shorebirds at marshes and ponds throughout the salt ponds restoration project.

Sloths in the wild though sleep about as much as humans according to research by the Planck Institute for Ornithology in Starnberg Germany.

says Walt Koenig, an ornithologist at Cornell University in Ithaca, New york. That's the central dilemma of behavioural ecology that we've been grappling with for a long time.

says Richard Prum, an evolutionary ornithologist at Yale university in New haven, Connecticut.""The whole result is entirely novel.

The finding helps to explain prior reports that urban songbirds adopt more nocturnal lifestyles2-4 data that prompted Davide Dominoni, an ecologist at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Radolfzell, Germany,

and vice versa, says Daniel Mennill, an ornithologist at the University of Windsor in Ontario, Canada."

In an article published recently in the American Ornithologist Union's publication The Auk research wildlife biologist Scott Stoleson of the U s. Forest Service's Northern Research Station suggests that forest regrowth in clearcuts

Data used in the study were collected by volunteers for Project Feederwatch a Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Bird Studies Canada project in

and The british Trust for Ornithology (BTO) has found that feeding wild blue tits in winter resulted in less successful breeding during the following spring.

and Jessica Schnell recently graduated now at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology Germany. More accurate habitat maps show the extent of fragmentation

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Seewiesen have examined whether the presence of an audience influences the behaviour and the testosterone changes of Japanese quails (Coturnix japonica) after a fight.

With support of the Alexander-Von-humboldt Society scientists working with Katharina Hirschenhauser from the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Seewiesen have been studying the influence of mixed-sex audiences on future social status after a fight.

of Ornithology. No previous attempts to understand the evolutionary history of this group have included genetic samples from nearly all the existing species. Berv began sequencing DNA samples

The immediate question to ornithologists or to anybody who has a birdfeeder in the backyard was:

A doctoral student in organismic and evolutionary biology and Museum of Comparative Zoology she is a member of the lab of Scott Edwards Professor of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology and Curator of Ornithology in the Museum of Comparative Zoology.

and dusk when the birds are most active the team found a 217%increased detection rate of the nightjar over those carried out by specialist ornithologists.

Traditional bird survey methods involve specialist ornithologists conducting field surveys to identify and count the birds they encounter.

The study appears in Springer's Journal of Ornithology. The fossil of the Scansoriopteryx (which means climbing wing) was found in Inner Mongolia

. and Canada alone said Jeff Wells associate scientist at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the report's lead author.

of Ornithology's Team Sapsucker is taking on another big challenge. In early May the team will head to the American Southwest following a new birding route they call El Gigante.

The recent work is led by Phd student Philippa Gullett and Dr Karl Evans from Sheffield in collaboration with Rob Robinson from The british Trust for Ornithology.

Vijayan, one of India's prominent ornithologists, said that India's present legislation, Biodiversity Act 2002, didn't provide enough protection to communities against exploitative agencies within India as well as multinationals.
