Utilisation of intensive foraging zones by female Australian fur seals. [PDF]
, 2015 Within a heterogeneous environment, animals must efficiently locate and utilise foraging patches. One way animals can achieve this is by increasing residency times in areas where foraging success is highest (area-restricted search).

Shortening day length as a previously unrecognized selective pressure for early breeding in a bird with long parental care [PDF]
, 2014 Several different selective pressures have been suggested to explain an intense competition for early return to breeding grounds in birds. In this study we hypothesized that shortening day length during summer months may constitute additional ...
