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.

During the breeding season, seabirds are central place foragers and in order to successfully rear chicks they must adjust their foraging behaviours to compensate for extrinsic factors.

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 ...

Nest-site habitat partitioning by Arctic, Common, and Roseate terns
When closely related species that share aspects of their habitat niches nest in sympatry, selection is expected to favor species-specific differences in nest-site selection that allow birds to partition habitat. We tested habitat-partitioning theory in a

Many seabird species are in decline and population demographic models are important for revealing the causes and developing conservation strategies. Natal and breeding dispersal are key parameters of such models but can be challenging to estimate and may vary by sex.

Facing Climate Change: The Case of the Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea)
Arctic seabird populations have been on the decline in recent decades, yet a clear cause has not been identified. The Arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) provides a unique opportunity for evaluating the potential of climate-related changes in causing seabird

Source amplitude increases with body‐mass across avian genera
Amplitude, or intensity, of sound is a fundamental characteristic of acoustic communication, with relevance in many scientific fields. The amplitude of an animal's acoustic signal at its source (‘source amplitude’) may be particularly relevant in the field of acoustic allometry, where relationships between species' physical and acoustic features (e.g ...

Nest defence and predator recognition by Arctic tern \kur{(Sterna paradisaea)}
In the presented work, I describe the behaviour of Arctic terns (Sterna paradisaea) toward predator species that differ in the threat they represent to them and to their nests.
