Growth, fledging success and post-fledging survival of juvenile oystercatchers Haematopus ostralegus
, 1995 We studied the consequences of differences in growth rate on the subsequent survival of Oystercatcher Haematopus ostralegus chicks. Fledging success increased sharply with growth rate, from zero in chicks growing at less than 6 g per day to about 85% in ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Many young birds die soon after fledging, as they lack the skills to find food and avoid predation. Post-fledging parental care is assumed to assist acquisition of these vital skills. However, we still lack empirical examples examining the length of time

Thinking like a duck: fall lake use and movement patterns of juvenile ring-necked ducks before migration. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The post-fledging period is one of the least studied portions of the annual cycle in waterfowl. Yet, recruitment into the breeding population requires that young birds have sufficient resources to survive this period.

Global Strategy Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Research Summary Trade wars increasingly manifest in the contemporary environment for global business; thereby, calling for examination of MNE strategic responses. MNEs can respond to such shocks by leveraging their strategic flexibility and engaging in retrenchment and redeployment; that is, the respective scaling down (up) of subsidiary ...

Effects of food availability on fledging condition and post-fledging survival in king penguin chicks
, 1997 Effects of summer food shortage on king penguin Aptenodytes patagonicus chicks were studied at South Georgia. Two cohorts were compared, fledging in the austral summers of 1992 (n = 32) and 1994 (n = 33) when availability of food was judged good and poor,

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rapid phenotypic change may be mediated by intergenerational transmission of early developmental experiences. In birds, exposure to glucocorticoids during early development can alter global DNA methylation and gene expression. However, DNA methylation is labile, and it is currently unclear whether the impacts of stress suffered during juvenile

Seasonal Variation in Parental Care Drives Sex-Specific Foraging by a Monomorphic Seabird. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Evidence of sex-specific foraging in monomorphic seabirds is increasing though the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. We investigate differential parental care as a mechanism for sex-specific foraging in monomorphic Common Murres (Uria aalge)

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Glucocorticoids are upregulated during acute challenges, contributing to maintenance of energy balance. However, if this upregulation exceeds a threshold or becomes chronic, it can lead to harmful effects. Investigating the factors behind between‐individual variation in the magnitude of the response to acute stress and how effectively ...

Differential movement patterns of juvenile Tengmalms owls (Aegolius funereus) during the post-fledging dependence period in two years with contrasting prey abundance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Fledgling behaviour and movement patterns throughout the post-fledging dependence period (PFDP), especially in relation to changing environmental conditions, have been rarely studied, despite the fact that this period is recognized as of crucial ...
