Cities change the songs of birds
12-04-2006 · EurekAlert!By studying the songs of a bird species that has succeeded in adapting to urban life, researchers have gained insight into the kinds of environmental pressures that influence where particular songbirds thrive, and the specific attributes of city birds that allow them to adjust to noisy urban environments. The findings, reported by Hans Slabbekoorn and Ardie den Boer-Visser of Leiden University, appear in the December 5 issue of Current Biology.

- Bird song study gives clues to human stuttering
06-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at the Methodist Neurological Institute in Houston and Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City used functional MRI to determine that songbirds have a pronounced right-brain response to the sound of songs, establishing a foundational study for future research on songbird models of speech disorders such as stuttering, as reported today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

- City ants take the heat
02-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
Most people remain unaware of the more rapid warming that has occurred within major cities. In fact, large cities can be more than 10 degrees hotter than their surroundings. These metropolitan hot spots, which scientists refer to as urban heat islands, can stress the animals and plants that make their home alongside humans. Until recently, biologists focused so much on the effects of global climate change, that they had overlooked the effects of urban warming.

- Steroids, not songs, spur growth of brain regions in sparrows
07-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
A species of sparrow uses testosterone to trigger the seasonal growth of song production areas of its brain. The finding is counter to some previous work with other birds and rodents, that indicated environmental factors can influence brain development and create more neuronal connections.

- Urban ecology: taking measure of the coming megacity's impact
02-07-2008 · EurekAlert!
If you are reading this, chances are that you live in a city -- one, perhaps, on its way to becoming a megacity with a population that exceeds 10 million or more. What shape could these future cities take and how will their populations meet environmental and resource challenges? An article, "Global Change and the Ecology of Cities," published in the journal Science on Feb. 8, 2008, by Arizona State University ecologist Nancy Grimm and her colleagues, addresses these questions.

- Land conversion and climate threaten land birds
06-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
Evaluating changes in range size of land bird species using Millenium Ecosystem Assessment scenarios reveals that land conversion, as well as climate change, will lead to the decline of many species, particularly those in the tropics.

- Cities incite thunderstorms, researchers find
08-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
Summer thunderstorms become much more fierce when they collide with a city than they would otherwise be in the open countryside, according to research led by Princeton engineers. While thunderstorms are thought of as being purely forces of nature, the Princeton research suggests that man's built environment can radically alter a storm's life cycle.

- Eavesdropping comes naturally to young song sparrows
05-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
Long before the National Security Agency began eavesdropping on the phone calls of Americans, young song sparrows were listening to and learning the tunes sung by their neighbors. The discovery that the sparrows acquire a many of their songs by eavesdropping also may have implications on how human infants learn language.

- Climate change creates dramatic decline in red-winged black bird population
11-13-2006 · EurekAlert!
Global warming strikes again. A University of Illinois researcher reports that a red-winged black bird population in Ontario, Canada has decreased by 50 percent since 1972. The decrease is related to a positive shift in the North Atlantic Oscillation which has resulted in warmer, wetter winters in the southeastern United States.

- Birds found to plan for the future
02-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
Planning and worrying about the future has always been considered an exclusively human activity, but now one species of bird has also been found to plan for tomorrow. The finding, published in Nature, raises the possibility that, like humans, birds may get anxious about the future. The birds, western scrub-jays, are shown to have learned from their previous experiences of food scarcity, storing food for future use in places where they anticipate future slim pickings.

- NYC tadpoles fly to Puerto Rico
12-20-2006 · EurekAlert!
While many of New York's snow birds head south to Puerto Rico for time in the sun, a recent batch of first-time fliers -- born and raised in the city -- are heading down for a different reason -- to save their own species. And tadpoles generally do not fly, unless they are part of a reintroduction program to save the Puerto Rican crested toad, according to the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).
