Individuals departing non-breeding areas early achieve earlier breeding and higher breeding success [PDF]
Scientific ReportsConditions experienced by an individual during migration have the potential to shape migratory tactic and in turn fitness. For large birds, environmental conditions encountered during migration have been linked with survival and subsequent reproductive ...

Large‐scale assessment of intra‐ and inter‐annual breeding success using a remote camera network [PDF]
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Changes in the physical environment along the Antarctic Peninsula have been among the most rapid anywhere on the planet. In concert with environmental change, the potential for direct human disturbance resulting from tourism, scientific programs, and ...

Breeding success of little grebe, Tachybaptus ruficollis, at a wastewater treatment facility at Khon Kaen University, Thailand: The influence of human activity [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2020 Wetlands are crucial nesting areas for the little grebe (Tachybaptus ruficollis). Our study was conducted at a wastewater treatment facility at Khon Kaen University in northeastern Thailand to determine whether human disturbance affected the breeding ...

Quantitative Economics, 2021 We investigate if, and why, an initial success can trigger a string of successes. Using random variations in success in a real‐effort laboratory experiment, we cleanly identify the causal effect of an early success in a competition. We confirm that an early success indeed leads to increased chances of a later success.

Demographic responses of Arctic seabirds to spring sea-ice variations
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 The Arctic experiences a rapid retreat of sea-ice, particularly in spring and summer, which may dramatically affect pagophilic species. In recent years, the decline of many Arctic seabird populations has raised concerns about the potential role of sea ...

Field experiments of success-breeds-success dynamics [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 Significance Social scientists have long debated why similar individuals often experience drastically different degrees of success. Some scholars have suggested such inequality merely reflects hard-to-observe personal differences in ability.
