[HTML][HTML] How are garbage dumps impacting vertebrate demography, health, and conservation?
Organic waste can be considered a food subsidy which represents an important source of
energy for different species that exploit it. However, it could produce contrasting impacts …

Individual specialization in diet by a generalist marine predator reflects specialization in foraging behaviour
Summary 1 We studied chick diet in a known‐age, sexed population of a long‐lived seabird,
the Brünnich's guillemot (Uria lomvia), over 15 years (N= 136; 1993–2007) and attached …

Food for contagion: synthesis and future directions for studying host–parasite responses to resource shifts in anthropogenic environments
Human-provided resource subsidies for wildlife are diverse, common and have profound
consequences for wildlife–pathogen interactions, as demonstrated by papers in this themed …

PCBs and DDE, but not PBDEs, increase with trophic level and marine input in nestling bald eagles
Concentrations of persistent contaminants often vary widely among individuals within a
population. We hypothesized that such variation was caused mainly by differences in diet …
