Disrupted Skies: How Offshore Wind Farms Alter Flight Behavior of Breeding Seabirds
Using high‐resolution 1‐s tracking bursts collected every hour, we quantified within‐trajectory flight behavior of breeding Bridled Terns near offshore wind farms. Birds showed increased mean redirection and lower flight altitude when trajectories were more closely aligned with turbine directions from the colony, suggesting localized, direction ...

Age at First Reproduction Predicts Sex‐Specific Parasite Infection Trajectories Through Adulthood
Age at first reproduction predicted sex‐specific infection trajectories in male but not female shags. Early‐ and modal‐recruiting males showed within‐individual declines in parasite burden with age, whereas late‐recruiting males exhibited progressive increases.

Comparative foraging ecology of lynx and coyotes in three Gulf of Alaska national parks
Abstract Consumers exhibit varying degrees of dietary specialization, with foraging strategies shaped by both evolutionary history and local food availability. In boreal systems, Canada lynx are considered snowshoe hare specialists, whereas coyotes are classically generalist foragers capable of exploiting diverse resources.

We determined that more isolated and possibly older nest boxes were selected by little penguins for breeding at Pōhatu/Flea Bay, New Zealand. However, breeding success was influenced by lay date in comparison to nest box characteristics. These findings inform immediate conservation recommendations regarding nest box design and placement.

Near the western margin of the highly productive Labrador Sea, the Labrador Current creates a large and steep oceanographic front between the Arctic‐origin shelf waters and the Atlantic offshore waters (i.e. the Labrador Front), presumably segregating or accumulating plankton communities.
