Wings of the Amazon: The Macaw Society’s Living Chronicle

In the treetops of Peru’s Amazon, The Macaw Society is documenting the fragile lives of Red-and-green and Scarlet Macaws—revealing how long-term research, community partnerships, and quiet persistence protect the rainforest’s most vivid sentinels.

Why Wait to Grow Up? Shorebirds' Delayed Maturity Tied to Coastal Living
Often seen roosting or foraging near coastlines, Oriental Pratincoles (Glareola maldivarum) are among the species analysed in the study. Their life-history strategies reflect the behavioural demands of complex habitats — an important factor in the timing of maturity. © Arkajit Chakraborty

Why Wait to Grow Up? Shorebirds' Delayed Maturity Tied to Coastal Living

Shorebirds that winter along dynamic coastlines delay their first return to breed, a strategy linked not to body size, but to the behavioural demands of tidal habitats — revealing new insights into how environment shapes avian life-history timing.
