Colony size as a predictor of breeding behaviour in a common waterbird.
PLoS ONE, 2020 The choice of colony size may have profound consequences for individual fitness in colonially breeding birds, but at the same time it may require certain behavioural adaptations.

Nest success of ground‐nesting ducks in the wetlands of Great Salt Lake, Utah
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 The number of ground‐nesting ducks in the wetlands of Great Salt Lake, Utah has drastically decreased in the past few decades. A potential cause for this decline is the increase of predator species and their abundances, which has caused most nests to ...

High individual repeatability of the migratory behaviour of a long-distance migratory seabird
Movement Ecology, 2022 Background Understanding the evolution of migration requires knowledge of the patterns, sources, and consequences of variation in migratory behaviour, a need exacerbated by the fact that many migratory species show rapid population declines and require ...

Colony and nest site selection by roseate and common terms in the Azores archipelago - a multivariate analysis [PDF]
, 1990 Multivariate techniques were used to examine overall characteristics of colonies, and detailed characteristics of nest sites within colonies, of Roseate and Common terns in the Azores archipelago.

Comparing timing and routes of migration based on ring encounters and randomization methods [PDF]
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2004 A method for comparing two migration routes is introduced. In the method are needed approximations of the average daily positions which are computed based on averages of dates and of positions in a window sliding through the encounters ordered in ...

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2023 Estuarine waterbodies typically support diverse and abundant waterbird communities. However, global environmental degradation as a result of anthropogenic activities is leading to species level changes in biodiversity, with top predators such as ...
