Delayed egg‐laying and shortened incubation duration of Arctic‐breeding shorebirds coincide with climate cooling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Biological impacts of climate change are exemplified by shifts in phenology. As the timing of breeding advances, the within- season relationships between timing of breed-ing and reproductive ... -
Individual phenotypic plasticityexplains seasonal variation in sperm morphology in a passerine bird
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Background: Spermatozoa display impressive variation in size and form among and within animal species. In birds, comparative evidence suggests that post-copulatory sexual selection resulting from extra-pair copulations is ... -
Later at higher latitudes: large-scale variability in seabird breeding timing and synchronicity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)In seasonal environments, organisms are expected to optimally schedule reproduction within an annual range of environmental conditions. Latitudinal gradients generate a range of seasonality to which we can expect adaptations ... -
Predation or scavenging? Prey body condition influencesdecision-making in a facultative predator, the wolverine
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The interaction between predators and their prey is a key factor driving population dynamics and shaping wildlife communities. Most predators will scavenge in addition to killing their own prey, which alters predation ... -
Shifting seasonality of annual growth through ontogeny for red deer at northern latitudes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Large mammals at northern latitudes show annual cycles of body mass gain insummer and body mass loss in winter. The amplitude and seasonal timing of these cycles may vary through ontogeny depending on trade-offs toward ...
