Skeletal morphology of bird wings is determined by thermoregulatory demand for heat dissipation in warmer climates

B. C. Weeks, C. Harvey, J. A. Tobias, C. Sheard, Z. Zhou, D. F. Fouhey

This study shows that warmer climates correlate with longer wing bones in passerine birds due to increased heat dissipation demands during flight.

Diversity reduces extinction risk at global scales

B. C. Weeks, S. Naeem, J. Lasky, J. Tobias

The paper shows that more diverse bird assemblages have lower extinction risk despite containing species with extinction-prone traits.

Trophic complexity alters the diversity-multifunctionality relationship in experimental grassland mesocosms

K. Anujan, S. A. Heilpern, C. M. Prager, B. C. Weeks, S. Naeem

This study shows that trophic complexity affects the diversity-multifunctionality relationship in grassland ecosystems by altering its peak and shifting it to negative effects at lower thresholds.

Shared morphological consequences of global warming in North American migratory birds

B. C. Weeks, D. E. Willard, A. A. Ellis, M. L. Witynski, M. Hennen, B. M. Winger

The paper shows that rising summer temperatures in North America caused consistent reductions in body size and increases in wing length across 52 migratory bird species over 40 years.
