Exploring drivers and costs of partial trans‐Saharan migration in juvenile vultures

Ibis, EarlyView.
Partial migration occurs when only a subset of individuals within a population undertakes a migratory journey. The decision to migrate can be influenced by intrinsic traits (e.g. sex or physical condition) as well as by extrinsic factors (e.g. social environment or resource availability).

Inshore marine coastal zone migration patterns in Atlantic salmon post‐smolts emigrating from eight rivers in north‐east Scotland

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, migrate through multiple habitat types, each having the potential to impact differently upon migration success. The inshore marine coastal zone is arguably disproportionately impacted by potential stressors on populations.

Population ecology of Chaetophractus vellerosus: the first report for an armadillo in South America

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2017
The aim of this work was to obtain the first estimates of survival rates (S), capture probability (p) and life expectancy for armadillos in South America by analyzing capture-mark-recapture data obtained from a population of Chaetophractus vellerosus ...

Extreme polygyny results in intersex differences in age-dependent survival of a highly dimorphic marine mammal

Royal Society Open Science, 2023
Developmental differences in vital rates are especially profound in polygamous mating systems. Southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) are highly dimorphic and extremely polygynous marine mammals.

Distance of movement in three threatened butterfly species

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 250-260, April 2026.
Multi‐year mark–recapture analysis using net displacement and Cormack–Jolly–Seber models shows similar daily detectability (0.17–0.22) among species, supporting robust interspecific comparisons. Dispersal kernels differ: lognormal best for Euphydryas aurinia and Parnassius apollo, exponential for Phengaris arion; P.

Population Demographics of Killer Whales (Orcinus orca) in Western Australia

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding population demographics is crucial for the effective conservation of species. This is particularly important for apex predators, such as the killer whale (Orcinus orca), which play important roles in maintaining the structure and function of ecosystems. In this study, we used capture‐mark‐recapture (CMR) modeling to assess killer

Contemporary Foraging of the Hawaiian Monk Seal as a Retrospective Lens for Commercial Fishing and Its Relevance to Ecosystem‐Based Fishery Management

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This retrospective analysis explores how historical fishing activity (1948–2009) at French Frigate Shoals (FFS) can be examined in relation to the foraging ecology of Hawaiian monk seals. We bring together fisheries catch records, monk seal demographic information, and ecological studies on prey, competitors, and predators to evaluate ...

Accounting for heterogeneity when estimating stopover duration, timing and population size of red knots along the Luannan Coast of Bohai Bay, China

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
To successfully perform their long‐distance migrations, migratory birds require sites along their migratory routes to rest and refuel. Monitoring the use of so‐called stopover and staging sites provides insights into (a) the timing of migration and (b ...

An empirical Bayesian approach to incorporate directional movement information from a forage fish into the Arnason-Schwarz mark-recapture model

Movement Ecology, 2021
Background Over the past two decades, various species of forage fish have been successfully implanted with miniaturized acoustic transmitters and subsequently monitored using stationary acoustic receivers.

Three decades of western sandpiper stopover dynamics during northward migration on the Pacific Coast of North America, 1992–2022

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
Shorebirds typically spend more time fueling and refueling during migration than they spend in actual flight, and consequently their stopover ecology has important implications for fitness and conservation. We examined spatial variation and long‐term changes in stopover duration of radio‐tagged western sandpipers Calidris mauri over three decades on ...
