Experimental Evidence for Mobilization of Mercury From the Eggshell by the Developing Embryo in an Avian Model Organism

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Of the many pollutants wildlife is exposed to, mercury ranks among the most toxic. In birds, mercury does not only accumulate within generations, but also is transferred across generations via maternal offloading in eggs, with higher mercury concentrations found in shells of unhatched eggs.

Using a live‐streaming webcam to assess the behavioural responses of waterbirds to changes in the density of swans Cygnus spp.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife research has benefitted from the development of new methods that allow data to be collected remotely, with less disturbance to focal animals. The proliferation of livestreaming webcams, for example, those used by nature reserves for public engagement purposes, have offered new possibilities for the study of wildlife behaviour.

The Relationships Between Rodent Control Efforts, Abundance, Damage, and Outcomes

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Diminishing returns on investment are a common pattern in agricultural and biodiversity conservation studies. A review shows few such studies of the effort‐outcomes relationship for rodent control efforts. It is recommended that future rodent control studies estimate such effort‐outcome relationships. ABSTRACT Rodents cause damage to agricultural crops

Patterns in tern trophic diversity in a region experiencing rapid climate change

Ecosphere
Foraging plasticity provides a mechanism for long‐lived species to adapt to rapidly changing environments. When shifts in food availability occur, individual variation in plasticity can lead to an increase in within‐species trophic diversity.

A comparison of methods for the long-term harness-based attachment of radio-transmitters to juvenile Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica)

Animal Biotelemetry, 2021
Background While the period from fledging through first breeding for waterbird species such as terns (e.g., genus Sterna, Sternula) is of great interest to researchers and conservationists, this period remains understudied due in large part to the ...

Long‐Term Safety and Efficacy of Obeticholic Acid in Patients With Primary Biliary Cholangitis: Final Results of the POISE Long‐Term Safety Extension

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
In the POISE open‐label extension, patients with primary biliary cholangitis with inadequate response or intolerance to ursodeoxycholic acid received long‐term obeticholic acid (OCA) treatment. Findings demonstrated a safety profile consistent with the known characteristics of OCA, with no unexpected safety signals, while supporting sustained efficacy ...

The effect of localized disturbance on the acoustic behavior of the common tern (Sterna hirundo) [PDF]

JASA Express Letters
In this study, passive acoustic monitoring was used to assess the impact of investigator disturbance on the acoustic behavior of a colony of common terns. A graded antipredator response in the colony was hypothesized, which would result in an increase in

Impact of incretin analogues on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in obesity and diabetes

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Incretin‐based therapies have gained momentum as a key strategy for reducing cardiovascular risk in individuals with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes (T2D). It remains unclear whether the cardiovascular benefits reflect a direct reduction in atherogenic lipoproteins—namely, low‐density lipoproteins (LDL), very low‐density lipoproteins (VLDL) and

Survival of fallen and returned rooftop nesting Least Tern chicks

Avian Conservation and Ecology
Beach habitat is increasingly degraded and disturbed, and many species of Larids (gulls, terns, and skimmers) have adapted to nesting on gravel rooftops.

Evidence of continued exposure to legacy persistent organic pollutants in threatened migratory common terns nesting in the Great Lakes

Environment International, 2020
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) accumulate in the food web of the Great Lakes ecosystem, causing concern that these chemicals play a role in the decline of avian species such as colonial-nesting waterbirds.
