Great summary of the main points of our recent falcon article. Migrating peregrines adjust slower to warmer spring temps than resident gyrfalcons. Both species suffer during warm summers. 🪶 🌍 #Ornithology #RaptorResearch peregrinefund.org/news/new-stu...

New Study Reveals How Climate Change Is Reshaping the Breeding Season for Arctic Falcons | The Peregrine Fund
Concerning news for falcons in the Arctic: a new study has linked warmer summers to fewer surviving young for both Gyrfalcons and Peregrine Falcons. But there’s a twist—the two species are reacting to...

Some wild turkeys play it bold, strutting through open fields, while others stick to cover. But it turns out that how predictably they take risks may decide whether they live or become dinner.

Gulotta: hunters tend to kill male turkeys that are more active and unpredictable, natural predators tend to kill those that are less active and more predictable. Potential for hunting-induced selection on behavior. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Male wild turkeys with riskier behavioural types were more predictable in their behavioural expression and more likely to be killed by both hunters and predators. If risk-taking behaviour is heritabl....
