Multi-dimensional niche segregation of sympatric breeding seabirds in the Xisha Archipelago
Avian ResearchStudying coexistence mechanisms is practically important for understanding and conserving marine biodiversity and community structure. Tropical marine ecosystems may exhibit higher competition between top predators due to generally low primary ...

Geolocator study reveals east African migration route of Central European Common Terns
Avian Research, 2020 Background The majority of European Common Terns (Sterna hirundo) migrate south along the western coast of Europe and Africa, while birds from eastern regions are known to cross the Mediterranean Sea from east to west or migrate along the eastern African

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

Modelling forest dynamics using integral projection models and repeat lidar
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Forests are facing increasing pressure from climate change and disturbance, yet linking individual tree trajectories to whole‐forest outcomes remains a major challenge. Our study integrates repeat airborne lidar with an Integral Projection Model to analyse demographic processes at the landscape scale.

Nest-site selection by roseate terns breeding on aride island, Seychelles [PDF]
, 1998 Nest-site selection by tropical Roseate Terns (Sterna dougallii) was examined on Aride Island, Seychelles. Continuous variables reflecting concealment of the nest site, shelter, vegetation cover and intraspecific nest density were measured for nest-sites
