• Breeding stage, not sex, affects foraging characteristics in masked boobies at Rapa Nui 

      Lerma, Miriam; Dehnhard, Nina; Luna-Jorquera, Guillermo; Voigt, Christian C.; Garthe, Stefan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Sexual segregation in foraging occurs in some species and populations of boobies (Sulidae), but it is not a general pattern. Sexual segregation in foraging may occur to avoid competition for food, and this competition may ...
    • Do foraging ecology and contaminants interactively predict parenting hormone levels in common eider? 

      Smith, Reyd A.; Fort, Jérôme; Legagneux, Pierre; Chastel, Olivier; Mallory, Mark L.; Bustamante, Paco; Danielsen, Jóhannis; Hanssen, Sveinn Are; Einar Jónsson, Jón; Magnúsdóttir, Ellen; Moe, Børge; Parenteau, Charline; Parkinson, Kyle J.L.; Parsons, Glen J.; Tertitski, Grigori; Love, Oliver P. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Global climate change is causing abiotic shifts such as higher air and ocean temperatures, and disappearing sea ice in Arctic ecosystems. These changes influence Arctic-breeding seabird foraging ecology by altering prey ...
    • Thick‑billed Murres in breeding pairs migrate and overwinter far apart but in similar photic environments 

      Huffeldt, Nicholas P.; Ballesteros, Manuel; Helm, Barbara; Linnebjerg, Jannie F.; Merkel, Flemming R.; Mosbech, Anders; Frederiksen, Morten (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Scheduling between mates in species with long-term pair bonds can be essential for positive fitness. The annual cycle in photoperiod is the primary environmental cue used by many animals to synchronize behavior and physiology ...
