Reconciling Bergmann's rule throughout the annual cycle in two congeneric large-bodied migratory waterbirds Open
Bergmann's rule predicts that the larger of two homeotherm species differing only in size would occur at higher latitudes, or in cooler climates than the smaller, because of relative thermoregulatory costs in relation to body mass/surface …

Wintering area and experience effects on spring migration strategies, timing and breeding success in Icelandic‐nesting Common Scoters (<i>Melanitta nigra</i>) Open
Earlier spring arrival of migratory birds to breeding sites and advanced breeding often bring enhanced reproductive success but demand good body‐condition. When populations exhibit extensive winter distributions, the differing energetic co…

Large‐scale depth‐related seasonal distribution patterns of a benthic‐feeding sea duck in two contrasting marine systems Open
Moulting and overwintering Common Scoter Melanitta nigra aggregate in largely undisturbed, shallow‐water marine areas, preying upon sessile benthic organisms (mainly bivalves), which do not reproduce during this period of exploitation. Ass…

Prediction models show differences in highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreaks in Japan and South Korea compared to Europe Open
Avian influenza poses substantial risks to animal welfare and public health. The recent surge in highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreaks has led to extensive poultry culling, highlighting the need for early warning systems. Usin…

Disappearing aapa mires and why we should care: unnoticed climate change exacerbates drainage effects on birds Open
Aapa mires are distinctive base‐enriched northern peatland systems, often with pronounced flark‐string (deep‐pool) surface features. Aapa mires are used by specialist breeding migratory waterbirds (particularly Broad‐billed Sandpiper Calid…

A comparison of established and digital surface model (DSM) ‐based methods to determine population estimates and densities for king penguin colonies, using fixed‐wing drone and satellite imagery Open
Drones are being increasingly used to monitor wildlife populations; their large spatial coverage and minimal disturbance make them ideal for use in remote environments where access and time are limited. The methods used to count resulting …

GPS-tracking reveals winter short-stopping and large differences in individual migratory distance among Greylag Geese (Anser anser) breeding in Denmark Open
The exponential increase in the ‘NW/SW European Greylag Goose population’ (NGGP) has created demands for more precise estimates of the national breeding populations and improved understanding of their movements to support its effective man…

Differential responses to weather and land‐cover conditions explain spatial variation in winter abundance trends in a migratory bird of conservation concern Open
Effective conservation strategies for animal populations require knowledge of relationships between population dynamics and their environmental drivers. However, these processes often vary within animal populations, requiring site‐specific…

High levels of seed dispersal by a declining wintering population of migratory geese Open
Ducks are known to be important seed dispersers, but the role of geese in plant dispersal is less clear. Wintering populations of migratory geese are undergoing rapid changes in distribution and habitat use in response to climate change an…
