SpectroBird detects and curates individual avian vocalization events from field recordings, enabling detailed ecological analysis of vocalization patterns.

This paper uses large language models to extract species interaction data from citizen science comments, expanding ecological data coverage and enabling new ecological research.

The paper shows that environmental nonlinearities like 'knees' and 'wiggles' stabilize range limits between competing species, making them less sensitive to climate change.

This paper develops a mathematical model to study how adaptive dispersal strategies affect species range borders, finding that they can lead to sharper range limits and reduced character displacement.

The paper tests if urbanization disrupts latitudinal gradients in seed predation across 14,000 km of latitude, finding that gradients persist despite habitat modification.

This study shows that climate, habitat, and geographic overlap drive plumage evolution in birds, with interspecific mimicry playing a significant role in convergence.
