Climate is a major extrinsic factor affecting the population dynamics of many organisms. The
Broad‐Scale Climate Hypothesis (BSCH) was proposed by Elton to explain the large‐scale …

Multi-trophic conservation and management strategies may be necessary if reciprocal
linkages between primary producers and their consumers are strong. While herbivory on …

Cross-seasonal effects (CSEs) on waterfowl populations link together events and habitats
that individuals experience as carry-over effects (COEs) throughout the annual cycle. The …

Research on effects of key weather stimuli influencing waterfowl migration during autumn
and winter is limited. We investigated relationships between changes in relative …

Life histories determine how organisms interact with their environment and predict how
populations respond to environmental change. Understanding relationships between life …

Migrant birds face a choice where to spend the winter. Presumably there is a trade-off
between migration distance (costs) and the quality of the wintering site (benefits). Wintering …

1.1 Background The intended developments of offshore wind energy in the Dutch North Sea
up to 2030 including an additional 10 GW (North Sea Programme 2022-2027) may lead to …

Projected changes in the relative abundance and timing of autumn-winter migration are
assessed for seven dabbling duck species across the Mississippi and Atlantic Flyways for …

We used observations of individually marked female black brant geese (Branta bernicla
nigricans; brant) at three wintering lagoons on the Pacific coast of Baja California—Laguna …

The macronutrients that Arctic herbivores invest in their offspring are derived from
endogenous reserves of fat and protein (capital) that females build prior to the period of …
