Changes in organ size and nutrient reserves of arctic terns (Sterna paradisaea) breeding near a High Arctic polynya

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2020
The arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) is a ubiquitous migratory seabird of the High Arctic, currently thought to be in decline in most of the circumpolar world, but surprisingly little is known of its biology at high latitudes.

Oral glucocorticoid dose patterns and organ damage in systemic lupus erythematosus – a nationwide cohort study

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background Evaluating the relationship between glucocorticoid (GC) exposure and organ damage in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is challenging since GC dose varies over time. It is unclear which exposure time window captures the full impact of GC usage.

Patterns in tern trophic diversity in a region experiencing rapid climate change

Ecosphere
Foraging plasticity provides a mechanism for long‐lived species to adapt to rapidly changing environments. When shifts in food availability occur, individual variation in plasticity can lead to an increase in within‐species trophic diversity.

GPS tracking data reveal the annual spatiotemporal movement patterns of Bridled Terns

Avian Research, 2022
Understanding the spatiotemporal patterns of animal movement is a central theme in the growing field of movement ecology. The Bridled Tern (Onychoprion anaethetus) is widely distributed across tropical and subtropical latitudes; however, knowledge of its

Vine copula knockoffs for variable selection in gene expression studies

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Identifying clinical and genetic markers is essential for stratifying cancer patients by survival outcomes and guiding personalized treatment strategies. However, gene expression studies often involve high‐dimensional predictors with mixed data types and complex dependence, which complicates reliable variable selection.

A photographic approach to monitor spatial dynamics and population trends of Arctic Tern colonies in two touristic bird watching spots in the Westfjords, Iceland

Avocetta
This study examines the population dynamics and spatial distribution of Arctic Terns in two tourist sites in Iceland's Westfjords: Vigur Island and Súðavík. In 2023, counts revealed 458 terns in Súðavík and 991 in Vigur. We propose a monitoring approach
