Warming in the land of the midnight sun: breeding birds may suffer greater heat stress at high- versus low-Arctic sites under climate change #ProcB ow.ly/r0J050Kr9t3 @Ryan_OConn @oliverlovelab @ArcticEcology @AnnaLHargreaves @Emily_S_Choy @AChangingArctic @VezinaLab

Our newest study presents counterintuitive results that behavioral constraints from rising temperatures may be more severe at higher latitudes vs lower latitudes! @oliverlovelab @ArcticScope @VezinaLab @ArcticEcology @AnnaLHargreaves @Emily_S_Choy

Great story by @hrdunleavy featuring our recent papers as part of the @ArcticScope project to study the direct effects of heat stress on Arctic birds & the implications of climate change! @Ryan_OConn @ArcticEcology @oliverlovelab @VezinaLab @AnnaLHargreaves @mcgillu
A decade ago, Arctic seabirds were found dead in their nests. Scientist @Emily_S_Choy thinks they could be “canaries in the coal mine” for the future effects of a hotter world, and that the species' survival may not be hopeless if climate action is taken. bit.ly/2UJ48uS

Desert #birds may be feeling much of the brunt of hotter temperatures due to climate change. But new research shows that even #Arctic snow buntings may experience heat stress when the temperature is warm enough. ow.ly/fZQp50DxIYz #climatechange #wildlife

Our latest @Ecol_Evol paper on the impacts of heat stress on Arctic snow buntings and the implications of climate change on cold-adapted passerines has been featured by @wildlifesociety! Stay tuned for more research as part of the @ArcticScope project!

What could thick-billed murres & snow buntings possibly have in common? Find out today when @Ryan_OConn & I give a tag-team presentation on our research on heat tolerance in birds & the impacts of #Arctic warming at 12:30pm EST in session TER-77 @ArcticNet #AC2020 @ArcticScope

Avian thermoregulation in the heat: is evaporative cooling more economical in nocturnal birds? biorxiv.org/content/early/20… #nightjars, #owls

This is insane and sad nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Rufous-cheeked Nightjars experience hot microclimates. See our latest work on this amazing bird! biorxiv.org/content/early/20…

In my latest video I go searching (at night!) for the #NightJar! Can you spot this incredibly camouflaged bird?! youtube.com/watch?v=1pFfPkg9…
