Birds abroad: How oil palm affects habitat in Mexico
2016-02-18 21:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A bird's home is bigger than its nest. Across the Americas, birds and their home habitat reveal much about the health of other species, the health of ecosystems and perhaps even the socio-economic wellbeing of local human communities. In the world of forest bioenergy -- growing crops to use for fuel, heat and other energy -- understanding bird communities is especially important. That's why David Flaspohler, a professor of ornithology at Michigan Technological University, is heading down to Mexico....
The Heat Is On: Climate Change Causes Birds To Hatch Early
2016-02-18 20:26:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Forbes: A recently published study reveals that climate change can cause birds eggs to hatch early. In addition to creating warmer temperatures that trigger early embryonic development in birds, climate change also increases the frequency and duration of heat waves. Thus, warming temperatures are leading to asynchronous hatching of individual eggs within a clutch and increased chick mortality, particularly for birds breeding in the tropics and semi-tropics, and in tropical deserts. Global warming is...

2015-12-11 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] New research led by the American Museum of Natural History reveals that the evolution of modern birds was greatly shaped by the history of our planet's geography and climate. The DNA-based work, published today in the journal Science Advances, finds that birds arose in what is now South America around 90 million years ago, and radiated extensively around the time of the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event that killed off the non-avian dinosaurs. The new research suggest…
