Long‐term crop yield benefits of subsurface drainage on poorly drained soils Open
Subsurface drainage is an important agricultural practice that has been widely utilized in the US Midwest to improve the productivity of poorly drained soils. Although widely adopted, long‐term yield benefits of drainage, particularly with…

Selecting auditory alerting stimuli for eagles on the basis of auditory evoked potentials Open
Development of wind energy facilities results in interactions between wildlife and wind turbines. Raptors, including bald and golden eagles, are among the species known to incur mortality from these interactions. Several alerting technolog…

Understanding the Golden Eagle and Bald Eagle Sensory Worlds to Enhance Detection and Response to Wind Turbines Open
Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) and Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) are known to be involved in collisions with wind turbines. Our primary goal of this project was to characterize the auditory and visual physiology of Golden and B…

Assessing bird avoidance of high-contrast lights using a choice test approach: implications for reducing human-induced avian mortality Open
Background Avian collisions with man-made objects and vehicles (e.g., buildings, cars, airplanes, power lines) have increased recently. Lights have been proposed to alert birds and minimize the chances of collisions, but it is challenging …

The Orientation of Visual Space from the Perspective of Hummingbirds Open
Vision is a key component of hummingbird behavior. Hummingbirds hover in front of flowers, guide their bills into them for foraging, and maneuver backwards to undock from them. Capturing insects is also an important foraging strategy for m…

Visual Sensory Signals Dominate Tactile Cues during Docked Feeding in Hummingbirds Open
Animals living in and interacting with natural environments must monitor and respond to changing conditions and unpredictable situations. Using information from multiple sensory systems allows them to modify their behavior in response to t…

Visual control of hovering in Anna's hummingbirds Open
Relatively little is known about how sensory information is used for controlling flight in birds. A powerful method is to immerse an animal in a dynamic virtual reality environment to examine behavioral responses. The research comprising t…

The biophysics of bird flight: functional relationships integrate aerodynamics, morphology, kinematics, muscles, and sensors Open
Bird flight is a remarkable adaptation that has allowed the approximately 10 000 extant species to colonize all terrestrial habitats on earth including high elevations, polar regions, distant islands, arid deserts, and many others. Birds e…
