Climate change and the ecology and evolution of Arctic vertebrates
Climate change is taking place more rapidly and severely in the Arctic than anywhere on the
globe, exposing Arctic vertebrates to a host of impacts. Changes in the cryosphere dominate …

Plastic and other microfibers in sediments, macroinvertebrates and shorebirds from three intertidal wetlands of southern Europe and west Africa
Microplastics are widespread in aquatic environments and can be ingested by a wide range
of organisms. They can also be transferred along food webs. Estuaries and other tidal …

Lower predation risk for migratory birds at high latitudes
Quantifying the costs and benefits of migration distance is critical to understanding the
evolution of long-distance migration. In migratory birds, life history theory predicts that the …

Impacts of habitat loss on migratory shorebird populations and communities at stopover sites in the Yellow Sea
Migratory birds generally use one or more stopover sites for rest and/or refuelling during
long-distance migration where a large abundance of diverse species can concentrate into …

Benthic primary producers are key to sustain the Wadden Sea food web: stable carbon isotope analysis at landscape scale
Coastal food webs can be supported by local benthic or pelagic primary producers and by
the import of organic matter. Distinguishing between these energy sources is essential for …

Climate change causes rapid changes in the distribution and site abundance of birds in winter
Detecting coherent signals of climate change is best achieved by conducting expansive,
long‐term studies. Here, using counts of waders (Charadrii) collected from ca. 3500 sites …
