Changes in organ size and nutrient reserves of arctic terns (Sterna paradisaea) breeding near a High Arctic polynya

open access: yesArctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2020
The arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) is a ubiquitous migratory seabird of the High Arctic, currently thought to be in decline in most of the circumpolar world, but surprisingly little is known of its biology at high latitudes.

A novel mitochondrial gene order in shorebirds (Scolopacidae, Charadriiformes) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Although the mitochondrial genome in birds has highly conserved features, with protein genes similar to mammals and amphibians, several variations in gene order around the hypervariable control region have been found.

Bird Displacement by Wind Turbines: Assessing Current Knowledge and Recommendations for Future Studies

open access: yesBirds, 2021
Wind energy developments can be responsible for negative impacts on birds, including displacement. In this study we performed a systematic review of the literature available on bird displacement due to wind turbines, both onshore and offshore, to: (i ...
