Article
Liam S. Corcoran, Auteur ; Megan E. Gray, Auteur ; Scott R. McWilliams, AuteurEastern Whip-poor-will (Antrostomus vociferus) populations have declined precipitously since 1970, yet key aspects of their breeding biology remain understudied compared to other aerial insectivores. We used trail cameras to monitor 14 whip-poor[...]
Article
Clayton L. Graham, Auteur ; Scott R. McWilliams, AuteurWe conducted the first validation of the deuterium dilution method as a nonlethal technique for estimating the body composition of a shorebird during fall staging as birds fatten in preparation for their migration. For this validation, we captur[...]
Article
Lillie A. Langlois, Auteur ; Scott R. McWilliams, AuteurWild birds must consume certain amounts of protein and an appropriate balance of amino acids while inhabiting environments where foods often differ in the quantity and quality of available protein. The requirements for amino acids are well docum[...]
Article
Christopher M. Roelandt, Auteur ; Amber M. Roth, Auteur ; Scott R. McWilliams, Auteur ; Jill C. Witt, AuteurPlasma metabolites such as triglyceride (TRIG) can be useful indicators of when birds are in a state of fattening or fasting, although the challenges of processing, storing, and analyzing field-collected plasma samples may limit its use by field[...]

Adam D. Smith, Auteur ; Scott R. McWilliams, Auteur ; Kristopher J. Winiarski, Auteur ; Carol L. Trocki, Auteur ; Brian Harris, Auteur ; Jason E. Osenkowski, Auteur ; Peter W. C. Paton, AuteurNearshore waters provide very important habitat for sea ducks (Tribe Mergini) during migration and winter, but gathering information on sea duck use of shallow nearshore waters is challenging because traditional aerial and boat-based surveys are[...]
Article
Megan M. Skrip, Auteur ; Ulf Bauchinger, Auteur ; Wolfgang Goymann, Auteur ; Leonida Fusani, Auteur ; Scott R. McWilliams, AuteurDuring migration, many songbirds encounter large ecological barriers, like deserts and seas that require substantial fuel to cross and can lead to dehydration during passage. If muscle is not catabolized to generate metabolic water, birds must s[...]

Article
Samantha E. Richman, Auteur ; James O. Leafloor, Auteur ; William H. Karasov, Auteur ; Scott R. McWilliams, AuteurAllometric constraints associated with digesting leaves require relatively small avian herbivores to consume high-quality forage. How such constraints are overcome during ontogeny when energy and nutrient requirements are relatively high has not[...]

Hagy, Auteur ; Mark Livolsi, Auteur ; Scott R. McWilliams, Auteur ; Mark Petrie, Auteur ; Gregory J. Soulliere, Auteur ; John M. Tirpak, Auteur ; Elisabeth B. Webb, AuteurPopulation-based habitat conservation planning for migrating and wintering waterfowl in North America is carried out by habitat Joint Venture (V) initiatives and is based on the premise that food can limit demography (i.e. food limitation hypoth[...]
Article
Ulf Bauchinger, Auteur ; Scott R. McWilliams, AuteurPhenotypic flexibility in organ size of migratory birds is typically explained in functional terms in accordance with the principal of economic design. However, proposed functional hypotheses do not adequately explain differences in phenotypic f[...]
Article
Ulf Bauchinger, Auteur ; Scott R. McWilliams, Auteur ; Harald Kolb, Auteur ; Vladimir M. Popenko, Auteur ; Edwin R. Price, Auteur ; Herbert Biebach, AuteurThe pectoral muscle is the biggest organ within a passerine bird. It provides flight locomotion and is known to act as a protein source during periods with increased protein demands or decreased protein availability. The mass of the flight muscl[...]

Article
Scott R. McWilliams, Auteur ; Megan Whitman, AuteurBody composition of birds is often used to assess in part the "condition" of individuals in the context of their life history and ecology. We describe contemporary non-destructive (non-lethal) techniques that are available for estimating the bod[...]
Article
Megan M. Skrip, Auteur ; Scott R. McWilliams, AuteurAll air-breathing organisms must face the challenge of oxidative damage, and understanding how animals cope can lend insight into their ecology. Unlike other vertebrates, birds rely primarily on fats to fuel endurance exercise such as migration,[...]
Article
Kristopher J. Winiarski, Auteur ; David L. Miller, Auteur ; Peter W. C. Paton, Auteur ; Scott R. McWilliams, AuteurThere are currently no offshore wind energy developments (OWEDs) in North America, although numerous OWEDs have been proposed along the Atlantic Coast. Development pressure has been a catalyst for marine spatial planning (MSP) to identify suitab[...]
Article
Richard A. McKinney, Auteur ; Scott R. McWilliams, Auteur ; Michael A. Charpentier, AuteurCoastal habitats near urban centres in North Atlantic estuaries often support substantial numbers of wintering waterfowl, but little is known of the effects of landscape setting and urbanisation on habitat use. We conducted surveys of waterfowl [...]
