We developed a framework to assess climate change risk for 56 seabird and seal species breeding in Australian territories and Antarctica. Extreme weather, changes in habitat suitability, and prey availability were key climate hazards, with species such as shy albatross, Australian fur seals, southern rockhopper penguins, and Australian sea lions facing

Calls of Manx shearwater Puffinus puffinus contain individual signatures
Vocalisations are widely used to signal behavioural intention in animal communication, but may also carry acoustic signatures unique to the calling individual. Here, we used acoustic analysis to confirm that Manx shearwater Puffinus puffinus calls carry individual signatures, and discerned which features made the calls individual.

Estimating egg mass-body mass relationships in birds [PDF]
The mass of a bird’s egg is a critical attribute of the species’ life history and represents a fundamental component of reproductive effort. Indeed, the tradeoff between the number of eggs in a clutch and clutch mass lies at the heart of understanding ...

Impacts of coprophagic foraging behaviour on the avian gut microbiome
ABSTRACT Avian gut microbial communities are complex and play a fundamental role in regulating biological functions within an individual. Although it is well established that diet can influence the structure and composition of the gut microbiota, foraging behaviour may also play a critical, yet unexplored role in shaping the composition, dynamics, and ...
