This study shows that snow buntings, despite being cold-specialists, can overheat during intense activity even at low air temperatures, risking negative impacts on reproduction.

The paper examines how wingbeat frequency and amplitude relate to flight power in birds, finding that amplitude is more variable and better reflects energy demands than frequency alone.

This study predicts the temperature threshold for snow bunting breeding performance and finds high-Arctic sites experience more severe heat stress than low-Arctic sites due to prolonged periods of exceeding the critical temperature.

This paper evaluates accelerometer accuracy in ecological studies, showing that calibration, tag placement, and attachment procedures significantly affect data quality and ecological inference.
