Cross-seasonal effects (CSEs) on waterfowl populations link together events and habitats
that individuals experience as carry-over effects (COEs) throughout the annual cycle. The …

Because of birds' mobility, behaviour and many species' migratory nature, they select
repeatedly and spatially among habitats and have been central figures in studies of avian …

Summary 1 Patterns of temporary emigration (associated with non‐breeding) are important
components of variation in individual quality. Permanent emigration from the natal area has …

The rate of chick growth in high-latitude breeding shorebirds is rapid, but little is known
about the effect of chick mass, growth, and brood movements on subsequent brood survival …

Spectacled eider Somateria fischeri numbers have declined and they are considered
threatened in accordance with the US Endangered Species Act throughout their range. We …

We analyzed 53 years of banding and band recovery data along with estimates of harvest

Dynamics of avian populations may be governed by a complex interaction between
immediate effects of predation and longer-term trophic feedbacks between individuals and …

The period of growth prior to fledging is a critical life stage for most birds, and shifts in diet
during ontogeny may affect growth and development. We used nitrogen (δ15N) stable …
