Parental Age Effects on Offspring Telomere Length Across Vertebrates: A Meta‐Analysis

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 2, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Telomeres shorten with advancing age in numerous species, and shorter telomeres are linked to increased mortality risk. While parental age at conception can influence offspring telomere length, the magnitude and direction of this effect differ across studies, species, and parental sexes.

Seabird Diversity and Deterrence on Floating Oyster Cages

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Off‐bottom oyster aquaculture involves the use of floating gear, which increases the surface area at the farm and provides roosting sites for seabirds. State authorities require oyster growers to have operational plans that outline mitigation or deterrent strategies to prevent interactions between birds and floating aquaculture gear.

Flyway‐Scale Assessment of Habitat Suitability and Key Environmental Drivers for Waterbirds in Southern China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study assessed the distribution of suitable habitats and ecological drivers for 47 waterbird species in eastern and southern China (south of the 800 mm isohyet), revealing a clear coastal‐to‐inland gradient, with NDVI and DEM identified as key environmental variables. Different ecological groups exhibited distinct habitat preferences.

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

Ecosphere
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.

Postbreeding dispersal and staging of Common and Arctic Terns throughout the western North Atlantic

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2017
In the western North Atlantic, Common (Sterna hirundo) and Arctic (S. paradisaea) Terns are sympatric at breeding colonies but show divergent migration strategies to coastal areas of South America and pelagic regions of the Antarctic, respectively ...
