A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

Hypotheses and tracking results about the longest migration: The case of the arctic tern
The arctic tern Sterna paradisaea completes the longest known annual return migration on Earth, traveling between breeding sites in the northern arctic and temperate regions and survival/molt areas in the Antarctic pack‐ice zone.

ABSTRACT Aim The last decades have been marked by a global decline of many migratory species, and predictions are even more alarming when climate change is considered. We investigated the migration patterns and marine habitat selection processes of a critically endangered endemic seabird of the tropical western Indian Ocean, and projected future ...

Mechanisms promoting higher growth rate in arctic than in temperate shorebirds [PDF]
We compared prefledging growth, energy expenditure, and time budgets in the arctic-breeding red knot (Calidris canutus) to those in temperate shorebirds, to investigate how arctic chicks achieve a high growth rate despite energetic difficulties ...

The influence of environmental conditions on the selection of spring migration routes by caribou
Abstract Animal migrations influence key ecological processes such as predator–prey dynamics, nutrient and energy cycling, and community structure. Long‐distance migrations are declining worldwide, and a better understanding of the factors influencing animal space use during migrations is essential to maintain this behavior in the wild.

Behavioural plasticity is likely to influence how individuals continue to access resources under rapid climate change. Plasticity will be particularly important at highly dynamic, prey‐rich foraging areas such as upwelling fronts of marine‐terminating glaciers in the high Arctic, where profitability varies significantly across space and time ...
