Baldassarre says bird-watchers have long suspected that phainopeplas are itinerant breeders.

巴尔达萨雷表示，鸟类观察者一直怀疑亮丝鶲是巡回繁殖者。

And the reverse is also true: phainopeplas in woodland habitats will mimic species that are only found in the desert.

反之亦然，林地亮丝鹟也会模仿只在沙漠里才能找到的鸟类的叫声。

Phainopeplas could thus be especially resilient in the face of climate change-a challenge other species may not be able to meet.

因此，亮丝鹟可能会特别适应气候变化——而这是其它物种可能无法应对的挑战。

But a new study suggests the phainopepla, a jet-black bird with a body type like a small cardinal, may have a different strategy.

但一项新研究表明，体型像小红雀且毛发黑亮的亮丝鶲可能有不同策略。

But to confirm that individual phainopeplas really do spend the breeding season in two different places, Baldassarre and his team outfitted the birds with tiny GPS transmitters and tracked their movements.

但是为了确认个别的 phainopeplas 确实确实在两个不同的地方度过了繁殖季节，Baldassarre 和他的团队为这些鸟配备了微型 GPS 发射器并跟踪了它们的活动。
