Despite billions of passerines seasonally migrating during the night at high altitudes, only three bat species have been found to consistently tap into this rich prey resource. However, it remains unk...

Passive acoustic monitoring of bats is used in a growing number of studies in applied and basic research, from local to global scales. Despite the publication of good-practice recommendations, sev...

Environmental mercury levels continue to rise, leading to increased exposure, especially in long-lived species at high trophic positions, such as many…

Las aves marinas en general, y los petreles en particular, presentan múltiples problemas de conservación. Los depredadores invasores son su principal amenaza en las colonias de cría. Las ratas son los...

Determining the diet of wide-ranging, pelagic seabirds is challenging. In this study, we investigated buccal swabbing and DNA metabarcoding to describe the diet of Manx shearwaters (Puffinus puffinus...

Plastic consumption in seabirds causes blood signatures of widespread organ damage including brain, stomach, kidney, and liver.

Seabirds are among the most threatened vertebrates, under pressure from fisheries bycatch, climate change, overfishing, and human disturbance. In Fran…

Non-tutorial feedback shapes song acquisition in a mammalian vocal learner.

Understanding how organisms respond to their environments is challenging, especially due to the complex processes related to metabolism, energetics, and reproduction. Glucocorticoids (GCs) are metabol...

Plastic consumption in seabirds causes blood signatures of widespread organ damage including brain, stomach, kidney, and liver.

Looking fit is no guarantee of health for one of the world’s most plastic polluted birds.

Plastic consumption in seabirds causes blood signatures of widespread organ damage including brain, stomach, kidney, and liver.

When navigating homewards, central-place foragers can use landmarks and sun angle to adjust their return movement behaviour. However, for tropical oce…

Junghyuk Keum, Ferran Sayol, Florian Orgeret and Catharine Horswill. This is a plain language summary of a Functional Ecology review article which can be found here. Climate change is a universal t…

The installation of automatic detection systems (ADSs) on operating wind energy facilities is a mitigation measure to reduce bird collisions. The effectiveness of an ADS depends on a combination of p....

Seabirds' distribution is generally influenced by the ecological dynamics of marine environments. Understanding how oceanographic features shape seabi…

Changes in migratory performance with age are typically assumed to reflect within-individual learning processes. Here, we show that changes the navigational efficiency in a long-lived seabird instead...

Prof Gareth Wyn Jones, Bangor University, draws on evidence from physics and biology to economics and political science to explore the effects of greater energy consumption on social and environmental...
