Diet, phenology and body size shape nutrient release by songbirds
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animals can dramatically alter ecosystem structure and function through the cycling and transport of nutrients in their waste. While birds are particularly capable of influencing nutrient cycles due to their high mobility, abundance, metabolism and functional diversity,

A new acoustic telemetry tag that identifies carrier mortality by monitoring activity level
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract We present a new acoustic telemetry tag capable of detecting whether its carrier stops moving for long enough to presume the organism has died, and of reporting the time elapsed since movement ceased. The tag uses existing environmental sensor technology together with an algorithm with user‐specifiable thresholds, and importantly, can separate

The influence of a cooling water system on waterbird habitat use in a coastal environment
Ibis, EarlyView.This study investigated the impact of a cooling water system at a nuclear power plant in northern Europe on coastal waterbird habitat use. In winter, the cooling water system provided preferential areas for waterbirds with warm productive waters, and, more importantly, with ice‐free areas.
