These decisions may be about locating food or other resources, and may take place over a variety of spatial and temporal scales. My most recent projects involve the study of foraging decisions made by oceanic birds in the Antarctic, and the dispersal by songbirds at the scale of 10-100 km, both within and between nesting seasons. Students working in my lab pursue their own interests – ranging from morphology and systematics of theropod dinosaurs, to acoustic communication by cetaceans and population dynamics of birds.

53. Avian Reproduction Notes on the bird reproductive system and the development of the embryo, with explanatory drawings and photographs. http://people.eku.edu/ritchisong/avianreproduction.html

BIO 554/754 Ornithology Reproductive Anatomy: Ovary most birds have only left ovary but 2 ovaries are typical of many raptors contains from 500 to several thousand primary oocytes As day length increases, photic stimulation of the hypothalamus results in the secretion of Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH below). When activated by GnRH, the anterior pituitary secretes two gonadotropin hormones, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). FSH acts on sperm-producing structures in the testes, while LH acts on the interstitial cells of the testes causing them to secrete the steroid hormone testosterone. The pituitary gland monitors the amount of testosterone in the blood, thus creating a negative feedback loop to maintain hormone levels within a set range (Akins and Burns 2001). Ambient visual cues, such as daylight, activate photosensitive loci in the brain both indirectly, through the eyes, and directly, through the skull. The hypothalamus of the bird brain contains special cells that are sensitive to extremely low light levels, intensities comparable to the amount of light that can penetrate brain tissue (Akins and Burns 2001). From: Akins and Burns (2001) The pattern of testosterone secretion in free-living populations of Song Sparrows.

55. Bird Respiratory System Article explaining how air sacs play an important part in the gaseous exchange in birds, with many diagrams. http://people.eku.edu/ritchisong/RITCHISO/birdrespiration.html

BIO 554/754 Ornithology Avian Respiration An updated version of these notes can be accessed from a new "Avian Biology' page (http://people.eku.edu/ritchisong/avian_biology.html) The avian respiratory system delivers oxygen from the air to the tissues and also removes carbon dioxide. In addition, the respiratory system plays an important role in thermoregulation (maintaining normal body temperature). The avian respiratory system is different from that of other vertebrates, with birds having relatively small lungs plus nine air sacs that play an important role in respiration (but are not directly involved in the exchange of gases). (A). Dorsal view of the trachea (circled) and the lung of the Ostrich ( Struthio camelus ). The lungs are deeply entrenched into the ribs on the dorsolateral aspects (arrowhead). Filled circle, right extrapulmonary primary bronchus (EPPB). Note that the right EPPB is relatively longer, rather horizontal and relatively narrower compared with the left EPPB. Scale bar, 1 cm.

57. Note: Respiration Notes and diagrams explaining how birds ventilate their lungs. http://education.vetmed.vt.edu/Curriculum/VM8054/Labs/Lab26/Notes/birdresp.htm

Mechanics of Respiration in Birds Birds ventilate their lungs not by expanding the lungs themselves, but by expanding the air sacs, a uniquely avian anatomical feature. The air sacs are balloon-like structures at the "ends" of the airway system, each with a wall of squamous epithelium. In the chicken, the "model" species, there are eight such sacs: an unpaired one in the cervical region; another unpaired one in the clavicular area; two paired sets (cranial and caudal) in the thorax; and a paired set in the caudal abdomen. The key to the system is that distention and compression of the air sacs, not the lungs, moves air in and out and that at any given moment air may be moving into and out of the lung and being "parked" in the air sacs. The lungs are stiff and noncompliant, not at all like the distensible lungs of mammals. The air sacs act as "bellows" to suck air in and blow it out, and also to hold part of the total volume. Here's the condition at the beginning of each inspiration of the respiratory cycle (only one side is shown). The cranial end of the system is shown to the left, and the trachea is shown. Air will enter and leave via the trachea as it does in mammals. All the air sacs are deflated at this stage. There is "resting" air in the lungs. Each one of a bird's paired lungs has a single large mesobronchus, essentially the intrapulmonary continuation of the trachea, which runs straight through it. This is a long straight airway, much like a mammalian bronchus in construction, which connects the trachea to the caudal air sacs. It also serves to ventilate the lung directly with part of each incoming breath.

59. Population Dynamics Essay discussing the factors behind the variation in the number of individuals in a bird population over time. http://www.stanford.edu/group/stanfordbirds/text/essays/Population_Dynamics.html

Population Dynamics T he "dynamics" of bird populations, the ways in which their numbers grow and shrink as time goes by, are controlled by the same general factors that control the size of human populations. An avian or human population has two kinds of input birth (natality) and immigration. And each population has the same two outputs death (mortality) and emigration. If the inputs are greater than the outputs, the population will grow. If the outputs are higher than the inputs, it will shrink. If the two are in balance, the population size will not change, or as ecologists would say, the population "density" is constant. Population density is, technically, the number of individuals per unit area. But since a population normally occupies a limited area of suitable habitat, its size increases, decreases, or remains stable along with its density. In 1937, two male and six female Ring-necked Pheasants were introduced onto a 450-acre island off the coast of Washington State. The island had not previously had a pheasant population, but with superabundant food and few predators, the population exploded. Even though many birds died each winter, the original flock of eight became a horde of nearly two thousand within six breeding seasons. During that period, however, the rate of growth of the population was gradually slowed. This decrease in growth rate was probably due, at least in part, to diminishing space for male territories and possibly to decreased food supply, leading to higher juvenile mortality.
