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

Camouflage and Clutch Survival in Plovers and Terns
Scientific Reports, 2016 Animals achieve camouflage through a variety of mechanisms, of which background matching and disruptive coloration are likely the most common. Although many studies have investigated camouflage mechanisms using artificial stimuli and in lab experiments ...

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.

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

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

AvocettaThis 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

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) assessment criteria have drawn substantial attention by investors in recent years. ESG factors have been considered by investors to create greater wealth and better investment decisions and opportunities. However, there are ambiguities about ESG assessment and reporting with issues of transparency and

21 000 birds in 4.5 h: efficient large‐scale seabird detection with machine learning
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2021 We address the task of automatically detecting and counting seabirds in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery using deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs).
