Migration strategies of common eiders from Svalbard: implications for bilateral conservation management
The Arctic is a highly seasonal environment with a harsh climate and extensive sea ice
cover during the winter. Consequently, most Arctic-breeding seabirds migrate south to reach …

Predation risk and landscape properties shape reproductive output of an endangered sea duck from two subpopulations with contrasting predation risk
Predation is the leading cause of avian reproductive failure and theory predicts clutch size
reduction under high nest predation risk. However, the impact of nest predation on …
