Multi-scale selection models predict breeding habitat for two Arctic-breeding raptor species

Arctic Science, 2020
Raptors are important environmental indicators because they are apex predators and can be sensitive to disturbance. Few studies have addressed habitat preferences of tundra-nesting raptors, and those that exist have focused on fine-scale characteristics.

Abundant variation in microsatellites of the parasitic nematode Trichostrongylus tenuis and linkage to a tandem repeat [PDF]

, 2006
An understanding of how genes move between and within populations of parasitic nematodes is important in combating the evolution and spread of anthelmintic resistance.

Parasites, mate attractiveness and female feather corticosterone levels in a socially monogamous bird [PDF]

, 2015
Stress is ubiquitous in the life of animals and a key determinant of their well-being and fitness. By quantifying levels of feather corticosterone in growing feathers (CORTf), we measured integrated stress responses in a monogamous game bird, the red ...

Threat-sensitive anti-predator defence in precocial wader, the northern lapwing Vanellus vanellus [PDF]

, 2016
Birds exhibit various forms of anti-predator behaviours to avoid reproductive failure, with mobbing—observation, approach and usually harassment of a predator—being one of the most commonly observed. Here, we investigate patterns of temporal variation in

Long-term changes in the abundance and breeding success of raptors and ravens in periods of varying management of a Scottish grouse moor

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2020
Management of heather moorland for driven Red Grouse (Lagopus lagopus scotica) shooting in the British uplands may benefit some raptors by reducing predation risk, especially when breeding, and by increasing food availability.

Vulnerability to geomorphological hazards of an Arctic cliff-nesting raptor, the rough-legged hawk

Arctic Science, 2017
Increase in temperature and precipitation associated with climate change may enhance the risk of destruction by geomorphological processes of nests or dens used by Arctic wildlife.
