Underestimation of avian diversity in the Tumbesian hotspot: Sampling gaps and conservation challenges

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study provides the first comprehensive reassessment of avian diversity in the Tumbesian region in over 30 years, documenting 931 species and identifying significant sampling gaps driven by geographic accessibility. We reveal a critical misalignment between biodiversity value and current protection coverage, particularly in humid forests which ...

Variation in isotopic niche partitioning between adult roseate and common terns in the Northwest Atlantic

open access: yesEndangered Species Research, 2023
Co-occurring species with similar resource requirements often partition ecological niches at different spatial and temporal scales. In the Northwest Atlantic (NWA), federally endangered roseate terns Sterna dougallii nest almost exclusively in coastal ...

Colony size as a predictor of breeding behaviour in a common waterbird.

open access: yesPLoS 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

open access: yesEcology 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 ...

Reproductive Drivers of Temporal Telomere Dynamics in Female Tree Swallows

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 18, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding trade‐offs between life‐history traits, particularly between reproductive investment and somatic maintenance, remains a major challenge in evolutionary ecology. Telomeres progressively shorten with age and have been suggested as good predictors of survival and longevity.

Evidence of continued exposure to legacy persistent organic pollutants in threatened migratory common terns nesting in the Great Lakes

open access: yesEnvironment 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

open access: yesMovement 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 ...

Quantifying the vocal repertoire of adult common terns (Sterna hirundo)

open access: yesbioRxiv
Common terns (Sterna hirundo) are regionally threatened migratory seabirds that form large breeding colonies during the North American summer months. They are highly vocal and serve as important bioindicators of aquatic ecosystems. Historically, acoustic
