By listening to these birds for decades, scientists track signs of a changing forest Scientists tracking the birds in an experimental forest in New Hampshire have also tracked changes in the forest ecosystem over decades.

PhD candidate @mirandazamm.bsky.social and Richard Holmes, a professor emeritus of biology, are featured on @npr.org’s “All Things Considered” discussing a 50-plus-year project that mapped the territories of songbirds.

Thank you @nhpr.org for sharing this great story from Ari Daniel featuring work by @dartmouthcollege.bsky.social researchers including @mirandazamm.bsky.social. 🧪

The study, led by Zammarelli and Holmes, focused on the seven most abundant species in the Hubbard Brook tract from 1969 to 2021: black-throated green warbler, red-eyed vireo, American redstart, ovenbird, black-throated blue warbler, hermit thrush, and least flycatcher. home.dartmouth.edu/n...

🧪Although a new episode comes out this #Monday, I am still thinking about the last episode and the #birds of the Hubbard Brook Experimental forest. Why they #sing, what is "fitness", and territory. It seems those who #listened to it #love it! Don't miss it!
