Identifying drivers of breeding success in a long-distance migrant using structural equation modelling [PDF]

, 2017
In migrant animals, conditions encountered at various times and places through- out their annual cycle may affect breeding success. Yet, most studies so far have only investigated the effect of specific parts of the annual cycle, despite the importance ...

Predominantly Terrestrial Foraging and Reproductive Gains From a High Trophic Level Diet in Roof‐Nesting Herring Gulls (Larus argentatus)

Ecology and Evolution
Wild animal species often use human‐modified environments for foraging and reproduction, but this may require dietary diversification with fitness consequences.

Effect of refuge supplement on Audouin's gull chick survival

Scientia Marina, 2003
One of the main threats to Audouin´s gull (Larus audouinii) at Chafarinas Islands is predation on eggs and chicks by the yellow-legged gull (Larus cachinnans).

Similar Breeding Success of Bearded Vultures in Disturbed and Undisturbed Areas Shows Evidence of Adaptation Capabilities

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2020
Human activities are usually considered as disturbing factors impeding the breeding success of wild animals. Protected areas can then be set up to restrict such activities aiming to improve wildlife’s breeding success and conservation.

Optoelectronic Synaptic Devices Using Molecular Telluride Phase‐Change Inks for Three‐Factor Learning

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Optoelectronic synaptic devices based on solution‐processed molecular telluride GST‐225 phase‐change inks are demonstrated for three‐factor learning. A global optical signal broadcast through a silicon waveguide induces non‐volatile conductance updates exclusively in locally electrically flagged memristors.

Early‐life adversity modulates growth trajectories and red blood cell mitochondrial metabolism in king penguin chicks

Journal of Avian Biology
In many avian species, variation in breeding phenology is known to affect reproductive success. In king penguins, the breeding cycle lasts more than a year, and the start of egg‐laying extends over three months, with early‐breeders laying eggs around ...

Chemical State Detection and Charge Transfer in Complex Oxide Heterostructures via In Situ Auger Electron Spectroscopy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In situ Auger Electron Spectroscopy resolves oxidation states with high fidelity during the pulsed laser deposition of multivalent perovskite manganate and vanadate heterostructures. The chemical‐state signature is carried by the valence‐electron population of the transition‐metal cation, read out through the relative intensities of Auger fine ...

Sex allocation and reproductive costs in a gull with a long breeding season [PDF]

, 2004
The Silver Gull is a small gull (265 - 450g), which exhibits sexual dimorphism, with males larger than females. It has a protracted laying period of about 8 months over the winter on Penguin Island in Western Australia.
