Offshore wind farm avoidance by a discard-feeding seabird is independent of local fishing activity. [PDF]
J Anim EcolFishing is not allowed within wind farms; therefore, discard‐feeding seabirds may appear to avoid wind farm areas. We found that most Lesser Black‐backed Gulls avoided the wind farm area, but not each individual in each period. Avoidance of the wind farm was not driven by fishing exclusion within its perimeter.

Nest-Site Selection in Barn Swallows (<i>Hirundo rustica</i>): Patterns Consistent With the Human Proximity Hypothesis Across Three Regions of China. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWhether humans facilitate or impede avian reproduction remains a matter of debate. Barn swallows preferentially seek human protection by nesting in inhabited buildings, show a marked preference for older structures. Swallow outdoor nests are higher than indoor nests. ABSTRACT Nest‐site selection is critical to avian reproductive success. Although human
