Offshore wind energy is a cornerstone of the transition to renewable energy, yet its rapid expansion raises concerns for wildlife. These concerns notably involve small migratory birds whose movements...

Abstract. Survival is a fundamental organismal trait which can vary by sex, yet the extent of sex-biased survival is largely unknown across most taxa. To a

In an experimental brood-size manipulation in Alpine swifts, smaller nestlings were selectively lost during growth, eliminating treatment differences in adult size, yet individuals from enlarged broo...

A collaborative project with wildlife rescue centres across Europe to understand how heatwaves and extreme weather affect swift nestlings and fledglings, using large-scale rescue and admission data.

Abstract. The capacity for birds to adjust their breeding time to variation in spring temperature via plasticity is crucial for insectivorous passerines in

Collecting data from local sources markedly further strengthens global biodiversity databases by adding species not previously included in international datasets. Furthermore, the addition of these d...

Variation in colour complexity in the Paridae is linked to climate, climate variability and several biotic factors. The strength of the associations is patch specific. Variables related to resource c...

Phenotypic plasticity is the key adaptive mechanism behind annual adjustment of breeding time in response to temperature. In nature, organisms are not only subjected to variation in temperature but e....

Journal of Ornithology - We analyzed data retrieved from six multi-sensor loggers deployed on adult Western Orphean Warblers Curruca hortensis in France, to unravel the migration strategy of the...

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....

In this study, we developed a method that enables the estimation of phenological reactions to local temperatures using Constant Effort Site bird ringing data. Our findings suggest that habitat anthro...
