Life‐history traits in birds, such as lifespan, age at maturity, and rate of reproduction, vary
across environments and in combinations imposed by trade‐offs and limitations of …

The behavioural rhythms of organisms are thought to be under strong selection, influenced
by the rhythmicity of the environment,,,. Such behavioural rhythms are well studied in …

Arctic-breeding geese are at record high population levels and are causing significant
changes to some of their breeding and staging habitats. These changes could influence …

The Arctic is experiencing rapidly warming conditions, increasing predator abundance, and
diminishing population cycles of keystone species such as lemmings. However, it is still not …

Context Loss of eggs to predators is a major cause of reproductive failure among birds. It is
especially pronounced among ground-nesting birds because their eggs are accessible to a …

While increases in overall temperatures are widely reported in the Arctic, large inter-annual
variation in spring weather, with extreme early and late conditions, is also occurring. Using …

Biological rhythms of nearly all animals on earth are synchronized with natural light and are
aligned to day‐and‐night transitions. Here, we test the hypothesis that the lunar cycle affects …

In biparental species, parents may be in conflict over how much they invest into their
offspring. To understand this conflict, parental care needs to be accurately measured …

Nest predation is an important determinant of reproductive success and ground-nesting
birds exhibit a variety of nest defence strategies to mitigate the risk. Many small-bodied …
