DOI: 10.1016/j.landurbplan.2018.12.003
Abstract: Abstract Wildfires are a main driver of habitat disturbance, influencing landscape structure and resource availability. Large carnivores are expected to experience strong effects as recently burned areas influence prey availability and suitable conditions for refuge… read more here.

Breeding site sampling across the Arctic by individual males of a polygynous shorebird
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Nature"
DOI: 10.1038/nature20813
Abstract: Males of many polygynous species compete for access to fertile females without providing them with resources other than sperm and without investing in care for the offspring (male dominance polygyny). In such systems, local competition… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/beheco/arac014
Abstract: Abstract Sex-bias in breeding dispersal is considered the norm in many taxa, and the magnitude and direction of such sex-bias is expected to correlate with the social mating system. We used local return rates in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/science.abj4210
Abstract: Although it is known that birds can return to their breeding grounds with exceptional precision, it has remained a mystery how they know when and where to stop migrating. Using nearly a century’s worth of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3354/esr01026
Abstract: The Steller’s eider Polysticta stelleri is a sea duck that breeds in Arctic tundra regions of Russia and Alaska (USA). The Alaska-breeding population is listed as ‘threatened’ under the US Endangered Species Act because of… read more here.

Factors Affecting Breeding-Site Selection of Northern Goshawks at Two Spatial Scales in Urbanized Areas
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Raptor Research"
DOI: 10.3356/jrr-16-69.1
Abstract: Abstract We determined breeding-site selection of Northern Goshawks (Accipiter gentilis) by comparing 33 breeding sites to 40 nonbreeding sites at the small (nest tree and vegetation structure within an 11.3-m radius of the nest) and… read more here.

Exploring Changes in the Microbiota of Aedes albopictus: Comparison Among Breeding Site Water, Larvae, and Adults
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Frontiers in Microbiology"
DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.624170
Abstract: The mosquito body hosts highly diverse microbes, which influence different physiological traits of both larvae and adults. The composition of adult mosquito microbiota is tightly linked to that of larvae, which are aquatic and feed… read more here.
