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 ...

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
