Individual-Level Responses to Rapid Climate Change in Common Terns (Sterna hirundo) and Arctic Terns (Sterna paradisaea) [PDF]
, 2023 This study examines fine-scale environmental changes and intraspecific variation in the diet and foraging behavior of two seabirds in the Gulf of Maine, one of the fastest-warming regions of the ocean.

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1704-1734, August 2026.ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Food preferences of the common tern, sterna hirundo (Linnaeus, 1758) at the Densu floodplains, Accra [PDF]
, 2009 Seabirds are important in the dynamics of marine ecosystems because they recycle important biomass of lower trophic level organisms. Their faeces and carcasses provide important food sources for terrestrial and benthic scavengers.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 305-322, June 2026.A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

Prospecting for informed dispersal: Reappraisal of a widespread but overlooked ecological process
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Prospecting for a future breeding site is an essential component of informed natal and breeding dispersal. It allows individuals to reduce the uncertainty of their environment by gathering personal and social information about the local quality of alternative breeding areas and make informed emigration and settlement decisions.

Brown Trout Abundance in Boreal Streams With Large Wood
Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Large wood has been found to be a crucial component in riverine ecosystems. However, due to the heavy channelization of rivers and intensive forestry practices over the past few decades, the amount of large wood in these ecosystems has decreased worldwide. River restoration aims to mitigate the effects of channelization and restore the channel

Age‐related changes of oxidative status and immune function in a long‐lived seabird
Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.Experimental studies in humans and laboratory species have shown that the decline of the immune system with age (immunosenescence) and the accumulation of oxidative damage to macromolecules are two key contributors to the onset and progression of the ageing process. Although laboratory models have provided important insights, the physiological basis of

Mallard response to experimental human disturbance on sanctuary areas is mediated by hunting
Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.Wildlife managers often provide spatial sanctuaries for wildlife to escape both lethal (e.g. hunting) and non‐lethal (e.g. non‐consumptive recreation) human disturbance. However, as societal interest in outdoor recreation continues to climb, many areas face added pressure to allow recreation, yet studies increasingly demonstrate negative effects of ...
