• Animal migration to northern latitudes: environmental changes and increasing threats 

      Kubelka, Vojtěch; Sandercock, Brett; Székely, Tamás; Freckleton, Robert P. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Every year, many wild animals undertake long-distance migration to breed in the north, taking advantage of seasonally high pulses in food supply, fewer parasites, and lower predation pressure in comparison with equatorial ...
    • Climatic variation influences annual survival of an island-breeding tropical shorebird 

      Engel, Noemie; Sandercock, Brett Kevin; Kosztolányi, András; Adrião, Andreia; Tavares, Alex; Rice, Romy; Székely, Tamás (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Global biodiversity loss is a major environmental concern. The wildlife on islands are particularly vulnerable to threats posed by alien predators, habitat loss and overexploitation. Effective conservation management of ...
    • Exceptionally high apparent adult survival in three tropical species of plovers in Madagascar 

      Jones, William; Eberhart-Hertel, Luke J.; Freckleton, Robert P.; Hoffman, Joseph I.; Krüger, Oliver; Sandercock, Brett; Vincze, Orsolya; Zefania, Sama; Székely, Tamás (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Adult survival is a key component of population dynamics, and understanding variation in and the drivers of adult survival rates and longevity is critical for ecological and evolutionary studies, as well as for conservation ...
    • Long-term decline in nest survival of a ground-nesting shorebird on a tropical island 

      Engel, Noemie; McDonald, Grant; Sandercock, Brett Kevin; Rice, Romy; Moreno, Rocio; Rataod, Sara; Székely, Tamás (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Tropical islands harbour a disproportionally high number of endemic species, which face increasing threats due to habitat loss, disturbance and introduced alien predators. Long-term demographic studies are needed to ...
