Patterns in tern trophic diversity in a region experiencing rapid climate change

Ecosphere
Foraging plasticity provides a mechanism for long‐lived species to adapt to rapidly changing environments. When shifts in food availability occur, individual variation in plasticity can lead to an increase in within‐species trophic diversity.

Diversity and abundance of water birds in a subarctic lake during three decades

Fauna Norvegica, 2013
The numbers of divers, ducks, gulls, terns and waders in the 15 km2 oligotrophic lake Takvatn, North Norway were estimated six times during 1983-2012. Systematic mapping surveys were done by boat within the first week after ice-break in June.

Adaptation and Response in Drylands: A Dryland Research Agenda and Campaign Strategy

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
The Adaptation and Response in Drylands (ARID) campaign was selected by NASA as a scoping study to develop a research agenda for a dryland field campaign. Here, we detail our ARID science research agenda and implementation plan that were developed based on an extensive community engagement effort in over 160 events with over a thousand scientists, land

A half century of monitoring reveals contrasting survival responses of Icelandic seabirds to climate and fisheries pressures

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 950-971, July 2026.
Seabirds serve as key indicators of marine environmental changes, with adult survival being a critical parameter for assessing population health. Iceland hosts some of the largest seabird populations in the North Atlantic, making it a valuable location for studying long‐term trends in seabird demographics.

Postbreeding dispersal and staging of Common and Arctic Terns throughout the western North Atlantic

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2017
In the western North Atlantic, Common (Sterna hirundo) and Arctic (S. paradisaea) Terns are sympatric at breeding colonies but show divergent migration strategies to coastal areas of South America and pelagic regions of the Antarctic, respectively ...

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Seasonal drivers of plant–soil–microbial community structure and functions in Western Himalayan grasslands, Pakistan

Grassland Research, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 182-195, June 2026.
Plant species richness was greater in summer in both alpine and subalpine grassland ecosystems. Soil moisture demonstrates significant positive correlations with soil organic carbon and total nitrogen across seasonal periods. Microbial α‐diversity peaks during summer but maintains functional stability across seasons.

Lithiated Organic Coverages on SiOx Anodes: Promoting Li2O Formation and Suppressing Lithium Silicate Growth for Stable Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
Two lithiated organic coatings (LiOCs) were applied onto the SiOx surface for long‐term stability. The LiOCs introduce additional Li+ species and functional groups containing O and N atoms, which strongly interact with the surface SiOSi bonds of SiOx.

Citizen science reveals host‐switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 305-322, June 2026.
A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...
