Mercury (Hg) is a pollutant that does not only biomagnify along the food chain, but can also accumulate in long-lived top-predators, such as many seab…

Inbreeding is known to have deleterious effects on offspring performance, but the extent to which such inbreeding depression acts on traits is widely variable. In particular, condition-dependent trait...

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...

Coastal ecosystems face salinization and rising temperatures. In coastal ectotherms, salinity and temperature affect metabolism, tolerance, infections, growth, behavior, and survival. Overall, the combined effects of salinity and temperature on species distribution, community structure, invasive species, and ecosystem functioning need to be fully assessed to understand impacts from these stressors.
