Ibis, EarlyView.Detailed knowledge about bird migration patterns can enhance our understanding of the evolution of migration and temporal changes in space use throughout the annual cycle. Additionally, as many migratory bird species are experiencing population declines, understanding the connectivity between their spatial distributions during breeding, migration and ...

Journal of Field Ornithology, 2022 Marking birds with transmitters allows for the collection of data that are critical for fully understanding avian life history, but researchers must also be confident that performing such studies is as safe as possible for transmittered individuals ...

Meat Acquisition Skill and Male Reproductive Success in Guinea Baboons
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives In human foraging societies, hunting skill is often interpreted as a signal of male quality linked to reproductive success through his ability to provision his family and community. Similarly, in some bird and insect species, males offer mates food to indicate their quality as a provider.

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 ...

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 ...

Environment International, 2020 Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) accumulate in the food web of the Great Lakes ecosystem, causing concern that these chemicals play a role in the decline of avian species such as colonial-nesting waterbirds.

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 ...

No Evidence That Nest Cover Shapes Incubation Schedules in a Mediterranean Shorebird Population
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.We investigated how nest cover is associated to incubation behaviour in a Mediterranean biparental population of Kentish Plovers using 24‐h video recordings from 24 nests with variable nest cover that ranged from fully open (0% coverage) to complete coverage (100%).
