Abstract Migration is the least-studied phase of the life cycle for many bird species, despite its importance to the full understanding of their life history traits and conservation. Between 2014 and 2023, we deployed tracking devices at Observatoire d’oiseaux de Tadoussac, Québec and used the Motus Wildlife Tracking System to…

Abstract Black-backed Woodpecker (Picoides arcticus) is known to benefit from pulse-resource disturbances in boreal forest for example, by colonizing recently burned habitats. Although insect outbreaks are ubiquitous in some parts of the eastern boreal forest, the opportunities offered by these natural disturbances for the Black-backed Woodpecker remain poorly understood. Between…

Abstract Understanding how species of conservation concern interact with natural disturbances provides insights into their evolutionary environment and can inform land management and conservation planning. We examined the breeding season nocturnal space use (i.e., foraging ecology) of three Mexican spotted owls (Strix occidentalis lucida) in southern New Mexico, USA that…

Abstract Accelerated biodiversity loss has destabilized functional links within and between ecosystems. Species that cross different ecosystems during migration between breeding and nonbreeding sites are particularly sensitive to global change because they are exposed to various, often ecosystem-specific, threats. Because these threats have lethal and nonlethal effects on populations, many…

Abstract Diversity in behavior is important for migratory birds in adapting to dynamic environmental and habitat conditions and responding to global change. Migratory behavior can be described by a variety of factors that comprise migration strategies. We characterized variation in migration strategies in American Woodcock (Scolopax minor), a migratory gamebird…

Abstract Several biodiversity-centered metrics exist to quantify the importance of landscape and habitat features for conservation efforts. However, for species whose habitat use is not quantified by these metrics, such as those in urban areas, we need a method to best identify features for targeted conservation efforts. We investigated the…
