Environmental correlates of spatio‐temporal patterns of colour variation in a bird of prey: The common buzzard (Buteo buteo)

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
High colour variability in animals has been associated with adaptability to environmental change. Establishing how such variability is distributed in time and space, and identifying environmental correlates, can help understand the processes driving it.

Small states coalition building in EU policy-making: The cases of the Nordic and Baltic countries [PDF]

open access: yes
Forming coalitions in various forms and shapes - institutionalized or ad hoc without any permanent structures, territorially constituted, i.e. consisting of countries from one region, or theme-based - has become an important tool for small and medium ...

Combining δ2H and δ34S stable isotopes identifies diverse moult strategies in a short‐distance migratory bird

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Moult strategies in birds can vary considerably even within a single species, particularly in terms of where moulting takes place. Yet, the factors underlying this variation and its consistency across years and individuals remain poorly understood. One such strategy, moult migration, involves individuals moving to a specific moulting location amid ...

The influence of a cooling water system on waterbird habitat use in a coastal environment

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
This study investigated the impact of a cooling water system at a nuclear power plant in northern Europe on coastal waterbird habitat use. In winter, the cooling water system provided preferential areas for waterbirds with warm productive waters, and, more importantly, with ice‐free areas.

Can you really change your stripes? Stable wing ornamentation suggests limited condition‐dependent signalling in female common eiders

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Variation in the expression of white ornaments, such as flank spots or wing stripes, has previously been related to indices of individual quality in birds. We measured the white wing stripes of colour‐banded female common eiders Somateria mollissima in three islands in Iceland from 2014 to 2023, to determine whether the expression of these ornaments is

Connectivity between breeding sites, wintering areas, and migration routes in Common Terns (Sterna hirundo) breeding in the Western Palaearctic

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Detailed knowledge about bird migration patterns can enhance our understanding of the evolution of migration and temporal changes in space use throughout the annual cycle. Additionally, as many migratory bird species are experiencing population declines, understanding the connectivity between their spatial distributions during breeding, migration and ...

Low breeding propensity in a declining Arctic‐breeding swan revealed by telemetry data

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Many migratory bird populations are declining in the face of habitat degradation and climate change, making it important to identify which stages of their annual cycle are most affected in order to guide conservation measures. The Bewick's Swan Cygnus columbianus bewickii, an Arctic‐breeding waterfowl species, has suffered a dramatic population decline
