1/6 #boreal bird communities of the future may not simply have fewer species—they may have different species. We explored how climate change, wildfire & forest harvesting could reorganize bird communities across Québec’s boreal forest by 2100. #BOUasm26 #ornithology #ecology #conservation
This study has been led by @glabadie-ermine.bsky.social, with a great collaboration from @trailgeek.bsky.social, Diana Stralberg and Pierre Drapeau!

Le gouvernement de la CAQ a autorisé la construction d'un chemin forestier qui a détruit en partie une «forêt ancienne» qui pourrait devenir une aire protégée dès 2028. Une entreprise a ainsi pu aller faire des coupes dans un milieu naturel riche en biodiversité. www.ledevoir.com/actualites/e...

La forêt boréale canadienne est considérée comme une «pouponnière» de la faune aviaire. Des centaines de millions d’oiseaux migrateurs y nichent, protégés par une loi fédérale. L’industrie forestière peut-elle leur «nuire» même si la loi l’interdit? www.ledevoir.com/environnemen...

Very happy of our latest pub on a high-resolution habitat model to predict the occurrence of the Bicknell's Thrush using forest structure metrics from LiDAR. A valuable tool for supporting more effective conservation/mitigation measures (i.e, forest harvesting or wind energy) doi.org/10.1093/orni...

Abstract. Assessing species occurrences can be challenging due to issues such as species detectability and difficulties in accessing habitats for surveys.

Black-backed Woodpecker is often described as 🔥dependent. However, our work offers a different perspective suggesting the species is rather opportunistic, benefiting from various forest disturbances that create recently dead trees, such as outbreaks of Hemlock Looper 👉 ace-eco.org/vol20/iss1/a...

Happy of this new pub highlighting Black-backed Woodpeckers benefit from pulse resources created by stands affected by the hemlock looper despite salvaged logging operations on 38% of the affected stands. BBWO is not all about post-fire habitats 🤓

Hudson Bay polar bears are incredibly spread out over the Bay this year. Some years they pile up in one area but not this year. Still lots of missing ice in the eastern part of the Bay. Hopefully bears that summered on land there made it onto the ice.

Brand new!! We studied 2 populations of Rusty Blackbird in eastern North America using NanoTag transmitters (Motus Tracking System) to determine migratory routes, stopover locations, & wintering areas.
Huge kudos to Jacob Walker for having greatly led this work!

Abstract. Bird populations within the same species may follow different migratory strategies and phenology depending on their breeding location and latitud
