• A circumpolar study unveils a positive non-linear effect oftemperature on arctic arthropod availability that may reduce therisk of warming-induced trophic mismatch for breeding shorebirds

      Seasonally abundant arthropods are a crucial food source for many migratorybirds that breed in the Arctic. In cold environments, the growth and emergence ofarthropods are particularly tied to temperature. Thus, the phenology ...
    • 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 ...
    • Long-term tracking of an Arctic-breeding seabird indicates high fidelity to pelagic wintering areas 

      Léandri-Breton, Don-Jean; Tarroux, Arnaud; Elliott, Kyle H.; Legagneux, Pierre; Angelier, Frédéric; Blévin, Pierre; Bråthen, Vegard Sandøy; Fauchald, Per; Goutte, Aurélie; Jouanneau, William; Tartu, Sabrina; Moe, Børge; Chastel, Olivier (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Site fidelity is driven by predictable resource distributions in time and space. However, intrinsic factors related to an individual’s physiology and life-history traits can contribute to consistent foraging behaviour and ...
