Habitat loss exacerbates pathogen spread: An Agent-based model of avian influenza infection in migratory waterfowl

S. Yin, Y. Xu, M. C. M. de Jong, M. R. S. Huisman, A. Contina, H. H. T. Prins, Z. Y. X. Huang, W. F. de Boer

This study uses an agent-based model to show that habitat loss in migratory waterfowl flyways can shift AIV outbreaks northward, increase outbreak risk, and enhance transmission among geese.

Application of stable isotopes to study movement ecology and diet variation in a migratory songbird

A. Contina, A. K. Pierce, S. W. Yanco, E. S. Bridge, J. F. Kelly, M. B. Wunder

This study uses stable isotopes to investigate migration strategies and diet variation in Dark-eyed Juncos, finding a link between nitrogen and hydrogen isotopes suggesting trophic shifts in southern migrants.

A tail of plumage colouration: disentangling geographic, seasonal, and dietary effects on plumage colour in a migratory songbird

S. M. Mahoney, M. W. Reudink, A. Contina, K. A. Roberts, V. T. Schabert, E. G. Gunther, K. M. Covino

This study examines how geographic variation, seasonality, and diet influence plumage coloration in American redstarts, finding that these factors affect color metrics differently based on the specific attributes measured.
