Recent technological innovation has opened new avenues in migration research – for instance, by allowing individual migratory animals to be followed over great distances and long periods of time, as well as by recording physiological information. Here, we focus on how technology – specifically applied to bird migration – has advanced our knowledge of migratory connectivity, and the behavior, demography, ecology, and physiology of migrants. Anticipating the invention of new and smaller tracking devices, in addition to the ways that technologies may be combined to measure and record the behavior of migratory animals, we also summarize major conceptual questions that can only be addressed once innovative, cutting‐edge instrumentation becomes available.
The current COVID-19 pandemic has impacted most aspects of daily life, including but not limited to educational instruction. Because of state and federal quarantine orders, colleges and universities around the world have been relegated to providing virtual instruction rather than face-to-face education. Traditional face-to-face pedagogical approaches (e.g., lecture-based approach) are likely ineffective in fully engaging students in an online setting (Garrison, 2003; Slavich & Zimbardo, 2012). Thus, to deliver content effectively,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
