The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

APPLICATION OF THE GREAT CORMORANT'S (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) DAILY MEAL IN THE STIMATION OF DAMAGES AT FISHPONDS [PDF]
Croatian Journal of Fisheries, 2004 Daily meal of the Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis), joined with the number of birds and composition of fish in the meal, has high importance in total calculation of damage-costs on fish stock.

Seasonal variations in numbers of great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) on the Kolut fish farm (nw Serbia) [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2006 Seasonal variations in numbers of great cormorant were studied between 1998 and 2004 on ponds of the Kolut fish farm (NW Serbia). Its presence is not detected only during winter. Spring migration culminates in early March.

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.Abstract The EcoToxChip project includes RNA‐sequencing data from experiments involving model (Japanese quail, fathead minnow, African clawed frog) and ecological (double‐crested cormorant, rainbow trout, northern leopard frog) species at multiple life stages (whole embryo and adult) exposed to eight chemicals of environmental concern known to perturb ...

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) nests in rock cavities where it accumulates prey bone remains during the breeding season. Because nests can be reoccupied from year to year, these faunal elements can form remarkable bone accumulations and, in the sub‐fossil record, be mixed with assemblages derived from human or other predator activities ...

Big Bird: A global dataset of birds in drone imagery annotated to species level
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Drones are a valuable tool for surveying birds, but manually detecting and identifying birds in drone images is costly. We assembled a diverse dataset of 23 865 images of birds captured with 21 different drones across 11 countries. We labelled 4824 of these images, detailing the location, species, posture category, age category, and sex of 49 990 birds

Shifting Effects of Ocean Conditions on Survival and Breeding Probability of a Long-Lived Seabird. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 With a rapidly changing climate, there is an increasing need to predict how species will respond to changes in the physical environment. One approach is to use historic data to estimate the past influence of environmental variation on important ...

Ibis, EarlyView.Seabirds serve as key indicators of marine environmental changes, with adult survival being a critical parameter for assessing population health. Iceland hosts some of the largest seabird populations in the North Atlantic, making it a valuable location for studying long‐term trends in seabird demographics.
