Urbanization and habitat fragmentation can alter the timing of life history events, potentially leading to phenological mismatches, carryover effects, and fitness costs. Whereas urbanization and fragmentation are known to alter important aspects of b

Millions of migratory and resident passerines molt in southwestern North America each summer, when ecological productivity spikes in response to the North American Monsoon. Although a monsoon-region molt is a critical event in the annual cycle of man

Roads are a widespread and growing form of habitat alteration, making their effects on wildlife a major conservation concern. We investigated effects of roads on occupancy patterns and stress physiology of the golden-cheeked warbler Setophaga chrysop

United States military bases provide habitat for a diverse suite of wildlife species despite intense anthropogenic disturbance inherent in training activities. Little research has examined how military activity affects wildlife reproduction. We compa

Physiological changes in response to environmental stressors can reveal cryptic effects of disturbance that can potentially lead to species decline. However, such responses may vary with life history. We used heart rate telemetry to continuously and

Introduced species offer unique opportunities to study evolution in new environments, and some provide opportunities for understanding the mechanisms underlying macroecological patterns. We sought to determine how introduction history impacted geneti

We used museum specimens to describe the timing and location of the postbreeding molt in Western Kingbird (Tyrannus verticalis), an insectivore that breeds in arid lowlands of western North America, where late summer conditions are exceedingly dry. L

We used field and museum data to describe timing of flight feather molt in the endangered Hawaiian Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus sandvicensis). We evaluated 80 adults captured a total of 107 times at two study sites on Oahu from April 2005 to August 2

We conducted experiments on the intersexual and intrasexual consequences of epaulet colour in male red-winged blackbirds, Agelaius phoeniceus. In the female choice experiment, we gave captive females a choice between males with normal or dulled epaul

Body feathers are important to many interactions birds have with their physical and social environments, such as streamlining the body for flight, thermoregulation, and social signaling. Birds differ dramatically in the texture of their body plumage
