Birds found thriving in a very large commercial forest in Maine

North America has lost an estimated 3 billion birds since 1970—a nearly 30% drop across species—mostly due to habitat loss and degradation. So when a team of researchers repeated a bird population study they did 30 years earlier in a very large commercial forest landscape in Maine, they were stunned to find more birds than before.

(Confusingly, the article doesn’t elaborate on how a resistance against what’s effectively a physical attack can possibly work, but apparently it’s mainly a resistance against the many bioactive substances that ticks need to inject into the host in order to feed successfully, according to another paper from 2020.)
