Global patterns and gaps in the study of terrestrial birds and mammals' use of freshwater sources: a mapping review

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Water availability strongly influences the ecology of terrestrial birds and mammals. It will likely play an increasing role as a limiting factor as climate change and human demand make water availability scarcer. However, we lack a knowledge synthesis describing our current understanding of the use of water sources, particularly for wildlife hydration.

Predicting the breeding distribution of wader species across climatic and environmental gradients

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Developing and applying species distribution models is particularly urgent for species currently facing high levels of environmental change. Waders (Charadrii) are among the most species‐rich groups of birds breeding at higher latitudes and the one where species are declining fastest. Iceland holds a large part of the global population of several wader

Nesting ecology of an ice‐associated seabird, Kittlitz's murrelet, at the northern edge of its range

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We studied the Kittlitz's murrelet, an ice‐associated seabird of conservation concern, at the northern edge of its range. Over a 2‐year period, we estimated nest density and success at 2 sites, captured and telemetered nesting murrelets, and tested the use of a thermal camera to improve nest detection.
