Visual fields, foraging and collision vulnerability in gulls (Laridae)
Ibis, Volume 167, Issue 2, Page 386-396, April 2025.Wide variation in visual field configuration has been recorded among avian species and it is hypothesized that this variation is driven primarily by foraging ecology and predator detection. It has also been shown that visual field configurations can render some species more vulnerable to collisions with human artefacts that extend into open airspace ...

Latitudinal Variation in the Timing of Nest Predator Activity Is Habitat Specific
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2025.ABSTRACT Aim The goal of this work was to investigate whether the community of avian nest predators shifts from nocturnal to diurnal with changes in latitude. This hypothesis was formulated 70 years ago, under the rationale that longer day length during the bird breeding season at high latitudes increases opportunities for visual predators.
