Here's a link to an interesting piece posted in Biology Letters, a vehicle used
by the Royal Society to present research articles and opinion pieces dealing
with topics across a wide spectrum of biological sciences.
The article deals with the recent North American Ornithological Conference held
in Canada and how major ornithological societies are cooperating more with each
other and sharing more data. It also speaks to advances in understanding birds
in their full annual cycle (not just breeding in North America), developing
more regional and global patterns through ecosystem studies, and establishing
better understanding of the phylogeny of the relationship of species within
families (for example, wood-warblers). Interesting comments at the end of the
article about the importance and evolution of amateur naturalists and citizen
science contributions

Numerous links to other papers, articles and opinion pieces on a broad range of
tipics. Might be worth bookmarking.
