Title: Heavy Rains Are Killing Peregrine Falcon Chicks In The Canadian Arctic Post by: BaerbelW on 05-Dec-13, 04:10:27 PM Hi Folks,
I just happened upon this article about peregrine falcon chicks dying due to heavy rains in the Arctic spring: Heavy Rains Are Killing Peregrine Falcon Chicks In The Canadian Arctic (http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2013/12/05/3025081/peregrine-falcon-chicks-dying/) The complete study 'Heavy rainfall increases nestling mortality of an arctic top predator: experimental evidence and long-term trend in peregrine falcons' ( Alexandre Anctil, Alastair Franke, Joël Bêty ) can be read and downloaded here: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00442-013-2800-y (http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00442-013-2800-y) And yes, I'm still around and just as busy as always Baerbel |
