Hubbard Brook
This mineral was added via helicopter to Watershed 1 as part of Hubbard Brook's famous calcium restoration experiment.
Wollastonite
What species is a major nest parasite for Ovenbirds in much of its breeding range?
Brown-headed Cowbirds
This elevation (high, medium, or low) has had the highest reproductive success for Black-throated Blue Warblers in the White Mountains.
High
This species is the most abundant vertebrate by biomass in northern hardwood forest.
This grocery chain based in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, is famous for a 2014 employee walkout that supported ousted CEO Arthur T. Demoulas
Market Basket
The famous 1960s Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study, led by scientists including Gene Likens, used a experimental watershed technique involving this practice to quantify nutrient losses like calcium and nitrogen.
Clearcutting
The ovenbird's scientific name, Seiurus aurocapilla, references this feature.
Golden/orange crown stripe
Research from Hubbard Brook has shown climate change to boost overall annual reproductive success for Black-throated Blue Warblers due to this behavior.
Double brooding
This concept, referring to birds returning to the same breeding site year after year, is a key phenomenon studied in migratory songbird ornithology.
Site fidelity (philopatry).
This famous conference took place at a hotel only 43 minutes away to regulate what would be the international monetary and financial order after the conclusion of World War II.
Bretton Woods Conference
UNESCO gave Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest this designation in 1976
Biosphere Reserve
This type of food source is a primary way female Ovenbirds obtain enough calcium for egg laying, which can be imperiled by acid rain.
Snails
The Black-throated Blue Warbler was formerly placed in this now-largely-abandoned genus before 2010s genetic revisions merged most species in this genus into Setophaga.
Dendroica
This ornithological index, calculating the ratio of wing length to body mass, is commonly used to infer a species' migratory strategy and flight efficiency.
Wing loading
The "Reassessing niche partitioning in MacArthur’s warblers" article we read was published in this scientific journal.
Biology Letters
The Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study was co-founded in 1963 by aquatic ecologist Gene E. Likens, soil scientist Robert S. Pierce, geologist Noye Johnson, and this terrestrial ecologist.
F. Herbert Bormann
This famous American poet wrote a sonnet titled after this very bird, using its 'teacher' song as a metaphor for diminished midsummer vitality.
Robert Frost
With warblers having a high rate of hybridization compared to other bird families, Black-throated Blue Warblers have been known to hybridize at least once with these many other warbler species.
Anything from 5-7 is accepted
Birds use this kind of flavoprotein to rely on the quantum radical pair mechanism to perceive magnetic fields when migrating.
Cryptochrome protein
The title of the first episode of the fifth season of Breaking Bad is this toast, written by "Hero of Bennington" General John Stark.
Live Free or Die
This feature of the land is what enables the "small watershed" to be used as a unit of study, particularly with the Weirs and ecosystem budgets, at HBEF.
Impermeable bedrock from the glaciers.
This unrelated South American bird family shares the common name 'ovenbird' due to convergent nest architecture, despite no close relation to Seiurus.
Horneros (Furnariidae)
This historical phenomenon explains why, for the most part, northern and southern Black-throated Blue Warbler populations are genetically homogenous.
There was a single glacial refugium, after which the population has only recently expanded.
This is the primary difference between arbuscular mycorrhizae and ectomycorrhizae.
Arbuscular mycorrhizae penetrate the root cell walls to form nutrient-exchanging structures (arbuscules) inside the cortex, whereas ectomycorrhizae do not penetrate cell walls, instead forming a dense, external sheath (mantle) around the root and a network between cortical cells
Established in 1988, this New Hampshire bakery provided catering for lunch both days of the cooperator's meeting.
