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

Offshore wind energy is rapidly expanding in the North sea foraging grounds of internationally important seabirds, with predicted impacts on their survival and productivity. Since reduction to breeding colony disturbance is a proposed compensation measure for these impacts, we used a seven‐year dataset of > 1400 black‐legged kittiwake nests at an ...

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

Causes of interspecific variation in avian migration distance
Abstract Migration is an awe‐inspiring behavior employed by a diverse suite of taxa throughout the animal kingdom. Avian migration is arguably the most well‐known animal behavior and birds vary widely in how far they migrate, but the ecological mechanisms underlying interspecific variation in migration distance remain unclear.

Characterizing partial migration using GPS tracking: high individual consistency in greylag geese
Migration is a critical ecological strategy throughout the animal kingdom and can be either fixed or flexible at the species, population, and individual levels. In partially migratory species, where only some individuals migrate, individuals may show consistency in their migratory behaviour. Greylag geese Anser anser are considered partially migratory,
