(Phys.org) —An Arizona State University biologist and her team have found that the Asian subspecies of great bustard, one of the heaviest birds capable of flight, covers migratory routes of more than 2,000 miles, travelling to and from its breeding grounds in northern Mongolia and wintering grounds in Shaanxi province in China. http://phys.org/news285408689.html Biology Wed, 17 Apr 2013 09:40:01 EST news285408689 The old adage "you are what you eat" is helping scientists better understand the threatened loggerhead turtle, which is the primary nester on Central Florida's beaches. http://phys.org/news267439226.html Biology Fri, 21 Sep 2012 10:00:01 EST news267439226 When scientists fired a cigar-sized satellite tag into the blubber of a western gray whale off Russia's Sakhalin Island in September, they expected to track her along Asia's Pacific shoreline down to the South China Sea. http://phys.org/news248695364.html Biology Fri, 17 Feb 2012 16:10:01 EST news248695364 Densely packed wildebeests flowing over the Serengeti, bison teeming across the Northern Plains—these iconic images extend from Hollywood epics to the popular imagination. But the fact is, all of the world's large-scale terrestrial migrations have been severely reduced and a quarter of the migrating species are suspected to no longer migrate at all because of human changes to the landscape. A recently published research paper highlights this global change and presents the first analysis of the dwindling mass migrations. http://phys.org/news163071238.html Biology Mon, 01 Jun 2009 10:34:49 EST news163071238
