Speciation Associated with Shifts in Migratory Behavior in an Avian Radiation
(Cell Press, 2020-04-06)
Migratory animals move up to thousands of kilometers every year [1]. Losses of migration (i.e., migratory drop-offs) occur when individuals of a migratory species stop migrating and establish founder sedentary populations, ...
Fish diversity in the cascade of reservoirs along the Paranapanema River, southeast Brazil
(Soc Brasileira Ictiologia, 2018-01-01)
The Paranapanema River is a major tributary of the upper Parana river basin. Eleven hydropower dams regulate its main course, but no study has investigated fish diversity in these impoundments at the basin-scale. The present ...
Exposure of Nonbreeding Migratory Shorebirds to Cholinesterase Inhibiting Contaminants in the Western Hemisphere
(Oxford Academic Press, 2010-02)
Migratory shorebirds frequently forage and roost in agricultural habitats, where they may be exposed to cholinesterase-inhibiting pesticides. Exposure to organophosphorus and carbamate compounds, common anti-cholinesterases, ...
Noise level and water distance drive resident and migratory bird species richness within a Neotropical megacity
(2020-05-01)
A large body of evidence indicates that urbanization profoundly affects ecological communities, but the extent to which patterns are generalizable across regions, such as in the Neotropics, remains unclear. We examined ...
Assessing the influence of the North Atlantic Oscillation on a migratory demersal predator in the Alboran Sea
(Cambridge University Press, 2016)
Effects of the North Atlantic Oscillation on Spanish catches of albacore, Thunnus alalunga, and yellowfin tuna, Thunnus albacares, in the North-east Atlantic Ocean [Efectos de la oscilación del Atlántico Norte en las capturas españolas de atún blanco, Thunnus alalunga, y de rabil, Thunnus albacares, en el océano Atlántico nororiental]

Migratory fishes of the Upper Paraná river basin, Brazil
(BrasilUEM, 2018)
An overview of migratory birds in Brazil
(2018-01-01)
We reviewed the occurrences and distributional patterns of migratory species of birds in Brazil. A species was classified as migratory when at least part of its population performs cyclical, seasonal movements with high ...
Knowing biodiversity: Fishes from the Guarei River basin, a tributary of the Jurumirim reservoir, Paranapanema River, Brazil
(Revista Biota Neotropica, 2020-01-01)
The Guarei River is a tributary of the Paranapanema River (Brazil), located in the upper portion of the Jurumirim Reservoir. Fish fauna studies in this watershed began in the 2000s, but they were restricted to a few ...
Wing size but not wing shape is related to migratory behavior in a soaring bird
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-05)
Both wing size and wing shape affect the flight abilities of birds. Intra and inter-specific studies have revealed a pattern where high aspect ratio and low wing loading favour migratory behaviour. This, however, have not ...
