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

Ibis, 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 ...

Exploring drivers and costs of partial trans‐Saharan migration in juvenile vultures

Ibis, EarlyView.
Partial migration occurs when only a subset of individuals within a population undertakes a migratory journey. The decision to migrate can be influenced by intrinsic traits (e.g. sex or physical condition) as well as by extrinsic factors (e.g. social environment or resource availability).

Fine‐scale genetic structure in co‐operatively breeding Palmchats (Dulus dominicus) suggests mixed kinship in compound nests

Ibis, EarlyView.
Fine‐scale genetic structure in animal populations can create opportunities for both kin‐directed co‐operation and kin competition. Knowledge of kinship is therefore key to understanding the selective pressures shaping sociality as well as the effects of social behaviour on local genetic structure.

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

Ibis, 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

Ibis, 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 ...
