Response to Food Restriction, but Not Social Information Use, Varies Seasonally in Captive Cardueline Finches.

Temperate winters can impose severe conditions on songbirds that threaten survival, including shorter days and often lower temperatures and food availability. One well-studied mechanism by which songbirds cope with such conditions is seasonal acclimatization of thermal metabolic traits, with strong evidence for both preparative and responsive changes in thermogenic capacity (i.e.

Research and evidence-based practice in clinical radiography: A systematic review of barriers and recommendations for a new direction.

Introduction: Existing literature provides valuable insight into the application of evidence-based practice (EBP) in Radiography; however, it primarily focuses on localised, context-specific scenarios within individual countries or institutions. This review aims to systematically explore the barriers to EBP and research implementation in clinical Radiography practice internationally.

Methodology: A mixed-method systematic review was implemented to obtain data from primary studies of qualitative, quantitative and mixed-methods designs.

Toward understanding the endocrine regulation of diverse facultative migration strategies.

Migration is an important event in the annual cycle of many animals that facilitates the use of resources that vary across space and time. It can occur with regular and predictable timing, as in obligate migration, or with much greater flexibility, as in facultative migration. Most research aimed at understanding the endocrine mechanisms regulating the transition to a migratory stage has focused on obligate migration, whereas less is known about facultative forms of migration.
