Bird migration is one of the greatest wildlife spectacles, producing massive global changes
in the distributions of birds twice each year. To understand the evolution of this …

For decades, studies have highlighted links between wind patterns and the behavior,
ecology, distribution, energetics and life history of seabirds. However, only relatively recently …

Background As for other life history traits, variation occurs in movement patterns with
important impacts on population demography and community interactions. Individuals can …

Dynamic exploration for a predator-prey biosystem of two species with ratio-dependent
functional response together with the capability for predation by both juvenile and adult …

Abstract The southern North Sea holds the world's highest concentration of offshore wind
farms (OWFs). Northern gannets (Morus bassanus), a species considered at high risk from …

Annual mass migrations of seabirds between their breeding and wintering grounds are
critical for ensuring their survival and reproductive success. It is essential to comprehend …

Several North Atlantic breeding seabirds, such as the Northern Gannet Morus bassanus,
use Western Iberian Waters for wintering and migration. In this study, we aimed at producing …

Highlights•We studied wind support over an ecological barrier for age groups of a migratory
bird.•Adults and subadults had similar air-to-groundspeed ratios only in autumn.•Subadult …

Individual traits such as age-class can have profound effects on space utilisation by
individual birds, with juvenile birds more often exhibiting dispersive movements. We studied …

The Dutch ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality has commissioned Bureau
Waardenburg to update a literature review on the effects of offshore wind on birds. This …
