The goal of this seminar series is to showcase diverse early-career biologists working relatively local to West Chester, PA. Apart from giving our students the chance to learn about cutting-edge scien...

For generalist animals that have a broad range of food choices, the specific diet characteristics that are important for health and fitness are often unclear. Here, we examine whether individual varia...

Are you a current or former faculty member at a primarily undergraduate institution (PUI)? Are you an active SICB member and/or have you attended a SICB meeting? The SICB PUI Action Group would love t...

Nature Ecology & Evolution - Combining 27 years of citizen science data with whole-genome sequencing, the authors show that mass mortality of purple martins caused by a severe winter...

The Society of Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) Primarily Undergraduate Institution (PUI) Group is hosting different in person events at the 2026 meeting in Portland, Oregon including a PUI ...

Birds show global declines, and understanding the relationship between avian diet and fitness can both answer basic questions in physiological ecology and inform conservation efforts. Diet-induced ch...

In the face of recent abrupt shifts in federal funding for education research, including large-scale terminations of National Science Foundation (NSF) research grant awards, we have developed a rap...

The authors performed phylogenetically controlled behavioural assays and analysed brain transcriptomes across five avian families, identifying convergent patterns of gene expression associated with aggression and nesting behaviour in obligate cavity-nesting birds.

The loss of vertebrate and plant species has been well documented (1-3), but recent attention has shifted to losses of the most diverse taxonomic group on

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, says the National Science Foundation has given money to thousands of "woke DEI" studies. Researchers say that's misrepresenting science and disparaging important research.

An NSF online payment system remained down after the federal funding freeze was lifted, leaving early-career scientists scrambling to pay bills

Synopsis. Corticosterone, the main glucocorticoid in birds, is a major mediator of the incredible physiological feat of migration. Corticosterone plays imp

Tree swallows are North American birds that can help us understand more about biology. We already know a lot about tree swallows because they are easy to work with. These birds are popular for scienti...

The Phillie Phanatic. You know him. You love him. But wtf is he?

Soil sampling at the landscape scale is increasingly in demand for assessing C sequestration projects in agroecosystems. Efforts to decrease sampling costs across large areas have thus far largely ig....
