AbstractThe logistics of measuring activities that occur at fine temporal scales, such as short stopovers that last a few hours, has proven very challenging when studying small migratory birds. Here, we deployed multi-loggers equipped with an accelerometer and thermometer on Chilean Elaenia (Elaenia chilensis) to evaluate their activity patterns while they undertook their annual migration from their Patagonian breeding grounds to non-breeding zones in Brazil.

AbstractThe ecological processes that determine how individual animals become hosts to zoonotic pathogens is a topic of rapidly growing interest. However, how such exposure is mediated by context (e.g., season, location), host behavior (e.g., migration distance) and host demographics is generally poorly understood. We evaluated seasonal exposure to West Nile Virus of American robins sampled in Indiana and compared our results to those of previous studies.
