New WHOI-led study of black-browed albatrosses finds that climate mitigation may matter more than evolution for population persistence

AbstractIn wild animals, the length of their telomeres, the noncoding DNA sequences protecting the ends of chromosomes, in early life has been shown to predict their performance (e.g., survival, repro...

Life-history theory predicts a trade-off between allocation of resources to reproduction or self-maintenance, yet how environmental variability shapes this trade-off remains poorly understood. We sho...

New research led by ACEAS postdoctoral researcher and marine ecologist Dr David Green from the University of Tasmania reveals insights into the dive behaviour and feeding habits of elephant seals in t...

Que se passe-t-il quand l’espèce animale qu’on étudie commence à disparaître ? Certains biologistes marins, qui étudient le phoque à capuchon, doivent aujourd’hui se poser la question.

The variability in responses to environmental change between populations remains poorly quantified and understood. This shortcoming has major consequences, as variation and flexibility of life-histor...

With my colleague Christophe GUINET we offer a 6-months internship position for a master student about sexual selection in southern elephant seals 🦭. Check the attached file (in French) for more detai...

Ovotime is a tool for predicting the hatching time of skua eggs based on their mass, length, breadth, and density.

Endogenous reserves accumulated during migration stopovers help most migratory birds cope with environmental uncertainties and fuel energy demands associated with migration and/or reproduction. Migra....

Australia is surrounded by the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu. And it is morphing as sea animals and birds bring it ever closer to these shores.

While the nutrient content of forage species is crucial to study how marine top predators release nutrients in their waste (faeces and urine) and poss…

Our understanding of demographic processes is mainly based on the analysis of the adult components of populations. However, juvenile survival is decisive for recruitment, and therefore for the dynamic...
