Congratulations to Christie Macdonald and Emily McKinnon for landing the cover of the first 2016 issue of the Journal of Avian Biology. The photo was taken by Marie-Pier LaPlante’s father no less! The cover is based on Christie and Emily’s paper entitled “Cold tolerance, and not earlier arrival on breeding grounds, explains why males winter further north in an Arctic-breeding songbird” published with Environment Canada collaborator Dr. Grant Gilchrist. The paper uses band return and geolocator data to examine the mechanisms behind sex-segregation of snow buntings on their wintering grounds. Fantastic work you guys!
