Newly discovered virus infects bald eagles across America

https://phys.org/news/2019-10-newly-virus-infects-bald-eagles.html

Mysterious new virus found spreading among bald eagles

American bald eagles are dying, and scientists may finally know why

Paper: Multidecade Mortality and a Homolog of Hepatitis C Virus in Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), the National Bird of the USA

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-50580-8


Researchers have discovered a previously unknown virus infecting nearly a third of America's bald eagle population. Scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USGS and the Wisconsin DNR found the virus while searching for the cause of Wisconsin River Eagle Syndrome, an enigmatic disease endemic to bald eagles near the Lower Wisconsin River. The newly identified bald eagle hepacivirus, or BeHV, may contribute to the fatal disease, which causes eagles to stumble and have seizures. Credit: UW-Madison

Evolution - and Climate Change - Resetting the Clock for Migratory Birds

https://www.courthousenews.com/evolution-and-climate-change-resetting-the-clock-for-migratory-birds/

Paper: Evolutionary Response to Climate Change in Migratory Pied Flycatchers

https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(19)31122-4


A male European pied flycatcher. (Estormiz via Wikipedia)


Differences in Timing Traits between 1981 and 2002
Shown are means and one SE of timing of captive flycatchers, estimated from linear mixed-effects models. Negative values indicate that the event occurred earlier in 2002.
