Oxygen‐releasing hydrogels are widely used to support cell survival in 3D cultures and to promote wound healing. However, incorporating catalase to convert H2O2 into O2 often generates additional oxygen bubbles, leading to material instability which rarely addressed.

Survival of fallen and returned rooftop nesting Least Tern chicks
Beach habitat is increasingly degraded and disturbed, and many species of Larids (gulls, terns, and skimmers) have adapted to nesting on gravel rooftops.

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.

Honest signaling mechanisms can function to appropriate care to hungry offspring and avoid misdirected care of unrelated offspring. Begging, the behavior by which offspring solicit food and parental care, may be an honest signaling mechanism for need, as

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Testing for assortative mating based on migratory phenotypes in the Common Tern (Sterna hirundo)
Tracking and mating data of Common Terns (Sterna hirundo) breeding in a single colony in north-eastern Germany were used to test for assortative mating in regards to migratory phenotypes.

Disrupted Skies: How Offshore Wind Farms Alter Flight Behavior of Breeding Seabirds
Using high‐resolution 1‐s tracking bursts collected every hour, we quantified within‐trajectory flight behavior of breeding Bridled Terns near offshore wind farms. Birds showed increased mean redirection and lower flight altitude when trajectories were more closely aligned with turbine directions from the colony, suggesting localized, direction ...

No Evidence That Nest Cover Shapes Incubation Schedules in a Mediterranean Shorebird Population
We investigated how nest cover is associated to incubation behaviour in a Mediterranean biparental population of Kentish Plovers using 24‐h video recordings from 24 nests with variable nest cover that ranged from fully open (0% coverage) to complete coverage (100%).

We determined that more isolated and possibly older nest boxes were selected by little penguins for breeding at Pōhatu/Flea Bay, New Zealand. However, breeding success was influenced by lay date in comparison to nest box characteristics. These findings inform immediate conservation recommendations regarding nest box design and placement.
