Study Pinpoints Number of Birds Killed by Cats Each Year
It’s no secret that birds are facing many threats in our cities, but the leading cause of death may come as a surprise. It’s not avian flu or natural predators, but instead, outdoor cats.
How many birds are killed by cats each year?
A new #UofG study provides a more accurate picture of the millions of birds dying at the claws of household pets.

The dos and don'ts for reducing nutrient runoff from fertilizer on farms. Harmful algal blooms occur in high nutrient areas. Harmful algal blooms can produce toxins and create low oxygen zones where they decompose that kills aquatic life. Fertilizer runoff is a major contributor of nutrients in aquatic systems. Don't apply fertilizer on frozen soil so it is not lost as runoff when frozen fields melt. Don't clear cut shoreline. Avoid removing all plants on shorelines to decrease nutrient runoff. Don't overapply fertilizer. Test your soil before applying fertilizer to prevent unneeded application. Do conservation tillage. Leave crop residues on your fields after harvest. Do reduce irrigation. Choose drip irrigation and try irrigating only when necessary. Do keep a natural shoreline. Keep a planted shoreline to help absorb nutrients in runoff.
Wrapping up #ONTAgWeek with one more #UofG student infographic!
Jessica Collier, BSc student in Integrative Biology, shares some tips for preventing algal blooms fed by runoff from farm fields 🌱 🐟

DYK that fish can tell how each other were raised?🐟

Researchers Track Nearly Extinct American Chestnut Trees
University of Guelph researchers have spent the summer in the field, tracking, tagging and photographing the nearly extinct American chestnut tree.
#UofG researchers are surveying southern Ontario’s American chestnut trees, tracking the health of the trees nearly wiped out by a fungus in the 1900s.
Without intervention, the trees could be extinct in 150 years.
