Why don't all birds lay early? Our 16-year study of Manx shearwater behaviour shows that selection on breeding timing fluctuates among years. We also find that lay dates are influenced by persistent ....

Understanding transmission routes of parasites and pathogens is critical for the development of control measures and mitigation of impacts on host populations. Trichomonas gallinae is a widespread pa...

Abstract. Variation in daylight hours may shape light-dependent behaviours both across seasons and among latitudinally distinct breeding colonies. We inves

Although biologging has transformed seabird ecology, bird-borne devices could alter the behaviors being studied, including parental care. We tested for effects of leg-mounted light-level geolocators (...

Niche partitioning is important for the coexistence of closely related species, allowing species to reduce overlap in resource use despite shared ecological requirements. In alpine environments, hars...

The internet hosts vast quantities of digital media across webpages, repositories and social media platforms, providing unprecedented opportunities for ecological research. The use of web-sourced med...

Larger flocks of migrating songbirds orient more accurately toward their population’s migratory direction than smaller flocks.
