Evidence for cryptic northern refugiaamong high- and temperate-latitude species in Beringia

Winter Wren (Troglodytes hiemalis) Science Article 3 abstract Stewart and Dalen (2008) argue that only temperate species were locked incryptic northern refugia during Pleistocene glacial cycles, while species presently found athigh latitudes had much wider distributions during glaciations.

Effects of food supplementation on female nest attentiveness and incubation mate feeding in two sympatric wren species

Winter Wren (Troglodytes hiemalis) Science Article 2 abstract We examined effects of incubation mate feeding on female incubation behavior and correlates of fitness by providing female Bewick’s Wrens (Thryomanes bewickii) and House Wrens (Troglodytes aedon) with food supplements. Males of these species vary in their rates of feeding; Bewick’s Wrens feed their incubating mates frequently, […]
