Trends in Richness and Occupancy of Ugandan Birds and Relation to Local Tree Cover Open
Changes in vegetation cover are occurring across sub‐Saharan Africa and can have substantial effects on ecological communities, but limited data make understanding status and trends difficult for many taxa. We surveyed birds for several de…

Effectiveness of stewardship and management strategies to conserve coastal bird populations in the northern Gulf of Mexico: a literature review Open
Shorebirds, seabirds, and wading birds (hereafter coastal birds) have experienced considerable losses over the last century and require proactive conservation management to stabilize or grow populations. Habitat loss and/or degradation and…

A Flexible Framework for Assessing the Cumulative Effects of Offshore Wind Energy Activities and Other Pressures on Aerofauna Open
The offshore wind energy (OSW) industry is pivotal for renewable energy transition and climate resiliency. However, OSW activities may negatively affect aerofauna, contributing to CE from human activities and natural processes. Cumulative …

A synthetic analysis of post-construction displacement and attraction of marine birds at offshore wind energy installations Open
Changes in the distribution of marine birds in their at-sea foraging, resting, and migratory habitats are frequently observed following construction of offshore wind energy installations. However, the presence and strength of both displace…

The first documentation of the Nearctic-Paleotropical migratory route of the Arctic Warbler Open
The Arctic Warbler (Phylloscopus borealis) is a cryptic songbird with an uncommon Nearctic-Paleotropical migratory strategy. Using geolocators, we provide the first documentation of the migratory routes and wintering locations of two terri…

Surface and subsurface oceanographic features drive forage fish distributions and aggregations: Implications for prey availability to top predators in the <span>US</span> Northeast Shelf ecosystem Open
Forage fishes are a critical food web link in marine ecosystems, aggregating in a hierarchical patch structure over multiple spatial and temporal scales. Surface‐level forage fish aggregations (FFAs) represent a concentrated source of prey…

Assessing individual movement, habitat use, and behavior of non-breeding marine birds in relation to prey availability in the US Atlantic Open
Resource availability is a key factor driving marine bird movements and distributions, but direct information on prey availability is difficult to obtain at relevant scales. We present novel methods for describing multi-scale trophic assoc…

The James Webb Space Telescope Mission Open
Twenty-six years ago a small committee report, building on earlier studies, expounded a compelling and poetic vision for the future of astronomy, calling for an infrared-optimized space telescope with an aperture of at least $4m$. With the…

The Science Performance of JWST as Characterized in Commissioning Open
This paper characterizes the actual science performance of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), as determined from the six month commissioning period. We summarize the performance of the spacecraft, telescope, science instruments, and gr…
