Microclimate mediates the strength and direction of avian biotic interactions
Ecography, EarlyView.Theory predicts that the strength and direction of species interactions can shift from being competitive in benign environments toward being facilitative in stressful environments. However, the environmental context dependency of species interactions has rarely been tested in animal communities.

The foraging ecology and feeding behaviour of the grey heron (Ardea Cinerea) in the Camargue, S. France [PDF]
, 1990 Foraging patterns of breeding Grey Herons were studied in the Camargue. Most individual birds used several different and widely dispersed feeding sites during the season.

Responses of Antarctic seabird populations to past climate change
Ecography, EarlyView.Higher‐order predators such as Antarctic seabirds serve as ecological indicators of environmental change and provide a crucial trophic link between marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their prevalence and significance in the Antarctic ecosystem, there is a lack of understanding of the impacts of major regime shifts in paleoclimate on flighted ...

Linking foraging behaviour of post-breeding adult female elephant seals from Marion Island to physical dynamics and productivity at the South-West Indian Ridge [PDF]
, 2011 Advances in remote sensing and tagging technology have made it possible to investigate the relationship between oceanographic dynamics and the distribution of certain marine species. For this study, surface chlorophyII-a concentration was used as a proxy

Ecology and EvolutionFeeding ecology is an essential component of an organism's life, but foraging comes with risks and energetic costs. Species in which populations exhibit more than one feeding strategy, such as sea turtles, are good systems for investigating how feeding ...

A global latitudinal decline in breeding site fidelity emerges from a single biome
Ecography, EarlyView.Species that breed in multiple years can either return to the same location to reproduce between seasons or disperse to a different location. Previous studies have shown that breeding site fidelity varies with species‐ and individual‐specific traits, but much of the observed variation remains unexplained.

Ecography, EarlyView.Understanding how anthropogenic pressures and environmental gradients shape coastal fish communities is a central question in biogeography and marine conservation. Yet, the set of species expected to occur at a site given ecological conditions but being absent – the so‐called dark diversity – has received far less attention than observed species, even ...
