Jack Hruska in the EurekAlert (7 November 2019) reports on a study from the Biological Conservation journal regarding sex-based differences in bird conservation. Hruska’s article ‘Study finds sex bias in bird conservation plans,’ explores gender biases within bird conservation plans. Hruska’s article suggests that researchers and conservation planners should make an effort to understand and identify the needs of female birds. Hruska argues that although females birds face a greater threat to their habitats, conservation research has been primarily focused on male birds.

The author of the article, Jack Hruska, suggests that conservation plans should explicitly address the habitat requirements of both sexes of the species.
