Patterns in tern trophic diversity in a region experiencing rapid climate change

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Foraging plasticity provides a mechanism for long‐lived species to adapt to rapidly changing environments. When shifts in food availability occur, individual variation in plasticity can lead to an increase in within‐species trophic diversity. We tested for drivers of trophic diversity in Arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) and common tern (Sterna ...

Is What Comes out the Same as What Goes in? A Preliminary Investigation of the Isotopic Impacts of Digestion by Red‐Tailed Hawks (Buteo jamaicensis) and Eurasian Eagle Owls (Bubo bubo)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
Isotope analysis of predator feces and consumed prey remains can be used to non‐invasively track diet and reconstruct past environment and climate conditions. However, one must account for the isotopic difference between diet and feces, as well as the possible influence of digestion on consumed prey tissues.

Reducing bumblefoot lesions in a group of captive Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) with the use of environmental enrichment

open access: yesPesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2013
Captive penguins are prone to pododermatitis (bumblefoot) lesions due to sedentary habits, changes in normal activity patterns, prolonged time on hard and abrasive surfaces, and less time swimming in the water.
