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 ...

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

High individual repeatability of the migratory behaviour of a long-distance migratory seabird
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)
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
