Avian egg size: variation within species and inflexibility within individuals
JK Christians - Biological reviews, 2002 - cambridge.org
Egg size is a widely-studied trait and yet the causes and consequences of variation in this
trait remain poorly understood. Egg size varies greatly within many avian species, with the …

Co** mechanisms of alpine and arctic breeding birds: extreme weather and limitations to reproductive resilience
As ground nesting homeotherms, alpine and arctic birds must meet similar physiological
requirements for breeding as other birds, but must do so in more extreme conditions. Annual …

[BOK][B] Effects of climate variation on the breeding ecology of Arctic shorebirds
H Meltofte - 2007 - books.google.com
About 50 species of shorebirds breed in the Arctic, where they constitute the most
characteristic component of the tundra avifauna. Here, we review the impact of weather and …

Integrating snow science and wildlife ecology in Arctic-boreal North America
Snow covers Arctic and boreal regions (ABRs) for approximately 9 months of the year, thus
snowscapes dominate the form and function of tundra and boreal ecosystems. In recent …

Effects of food availability, snow and predation on breeding performance of waders at Zackenberg
Publisher Summary Arctic waders depend on rich feeding grounds on their final staging
areas in temperate climates to be able to carry out thousands of kilometers of nonstop flight …

Inter‐annual variation in the breeding chronology of arctic shorebirds: effects of weather, snow melt and predators
Arctic breeding shorebirds travel thousands of kilometres between their wintering and
breeding grounds, yet the period over which they arrive and begin to initiate nests spans …

Effects of environmental conditions on reproductive effort and nest success of Arctic‐breeding shorebirds
The Arctic is experiencing rapidly warming conditions, increasing predator abundance, and
diminishing population cycles of keystone species such as lemmings. However, it is still not …

Differences in food abundance cause inter-annual variation in the breeding phenology of High Arctic waders
Previous work has shown that High Arctic waders in Greenland are “income breeders”, ie
the resources used for egg formation are based almost entirely on biomass obtained on the …

The effect of extreme weather events on breeding parameters of the White Stork Ciconia ciconia
Capsule Although the White Stork avoids adverse weather conditions by modifying its arrival
and breeding, it cannot avoid extreme weather events during the breeding season. Aims To …

Shorebird reproductive response to exceptionally early and late springs varies across sites in Arctic Alaska
RL McGuire, RB Lanctot, ST Saalfeld… - Frontiers in Ecology …, 2020 - frontiersin.org
While increases in overall temperatures are widely reported in the Arctic, large inter-annual
variation in spring weather, with extreme early and late conditions, is also occurring. Using …
