Rapid anthropogenic environmental change is expected to impact a host of ecological
parameters in Southern Ocean ecosystems. Of critical concern are the consequences of …

Abstract Knowledge of the spatial distribution of populations is fundamental to management
plans for any species. When tracking data are used to describe distributions, it is sometimes …

Although naturally present in the environment, mercury (Hg) input is significantly amplified
by anthropogenic activities on a global scale, leading to a growing concern about the recent …

Imagine yourself, as an ecologist during field work, deep in the woods. Eerily silent 26 was
the forest, when loudly from the tree above a wren started to sing. A quick, skilful 27 use of …

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

Anthropogenic changes, such as land use and climate change, are the greatest threats to
biodiversity, especially for amphibians, which are the most endangered vertebrate class …

Breeding seabirds challenge the concept of niche segregation among competing species
because similar competitors with comparable life histories can coexist in large multi‐species …

Natural populations are not homogenous systems but sets of individuals that occupy subsets
of the species' niche. This phenomenon is known as individual specialization. Recently …

Seasonal and annual climate variations are linked to fluctuations in the abundance and
distribution of resources, posing a significant challenge to animals that need to adjust their …

Two species breeding in sympatry are more likely to coexist if their ecological niches are
segregated either in time, space or in trophic habits. Here, we combined GPS-tracking …
