An ambitious effort in avian conservation is underway this spring throughout the New York portion of the Lake Ontario watershed. A legion of highly skilled volunteer ornithologists is helping a team of scientists to identify the best stopover sites for migrating birds in the southern coastal zo...For migrating sparrows, kids have a compass, but adults have the map
Even bird brains can get to know an entire continent -- but it takes them a year of migration to do so, suggests a Princeton research team. The scientists have shown that migrating adult sparrows can find their way to their winter nesting grounds even after being thrown off course by thousands...Ancient amphibians evolved a bite before migrating to dry land
Ancient aquatic amphibians developed the ability to feed on land before completing the transition to terrestrial life, researchers from Harvard University report this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
