      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 ...
    • Winter Tracking Data Suggest that Migratory Seabirds Transport Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances to Their Arctic Nesting Site 

      Leandri-Breton, Don-Jean; Jouanneau, William; Legagneux, Pierre; Tarroux, Arnaud; Moe, Børge; Angelier, Frédéric; Blévin, Pierre; Bråthen, Vegard Sandøy; Fauchald, Per; Gabrielsen, Geir Wing; Herzke, Dorte; Nikiforov, Vladimir; Elliott, Kyle H.; Chastel, Olivier (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Seabirds are often considered sentinel species of marine ecosystems, and their blood and eggs utilized to monitor local environmental contaminations. Most seabirds breeding in the Arctic are migratory and thus are exposed ...
