Nest-site habitat partitioning by Arctic, Common, and Roseate terns

Avian Conservation and Ecology
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

The Relationships Between Rodent Control Efforts, Abundance, Damage, and Outcomes

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Diminishing returns on investment are a common pattern in agricultural and biodiversity conservation studies. A review shows few such studies of the effort‐outcomes relationship for rodent control efforts. It is recommended that future rodent control studies estimate such effort‐outcome relationships. ABSTRACT Rodents cause damage to agricultural crops

Foraging plasticity in seabirds: A non-invasive study of the diet of greater crested terns breeding in the Benguela region. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Marine predators, such as seabirds, are useful indicators of marine ecosystem functioning. In particular, seabird diet may reflect variability in food-web composition due to natural or human-induced environmental change. Diet monitoring programmes, which

Women's experiences during this stage can have significant short‐ and long‐term effects on physical and psychological well‐being. Despite this, no validated questionnaires exist to comprehensively assess women's experiences during ...

The effect of localized disturbance on the acoustic behavior of the common tern (Sterna hirundo) [PDF]

JASA Express Letters
In this study, passive acoustic monitoring was used to assess the impact of investigator disturbance on the acoustic behavior of a colony of common terns. A graded antipredator response in the colony was hypothesized, which would result in an increase in

Impact of incretin analogues on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in obesity and diabetes

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Incretin‐based therapies have gained momentum as a key strategy for reducing cardiovascular risk in individuals with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes (T2D). It remains unclear whether the cardiovascular benefits reflect a direct reduction in atherogenic lipoproteins—namely, low‐density lipoproteins (LDL), very low‐density lipoproteins (VLDL) and
