Earlier and more frequent occupation of breeding sites during the non‐breeding season increases breeding success in a colonial seabird
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9213
Abstract: Abstract Competition for high‐quality breeding sites in colonial species is often intense, such that individuals may invest considerable time in site occupancy even outside the breeding season. The site defense hypothesis predicts that high‐quality sites… read more here.

Competition, predation, and the distributions of four desert anurans
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Oecologia"
DOI: 10.1007/s004420100727
Abstract: Several studies have shown that larval competition and susceptibility to predation affect distributions of amphibian assemblages across ephemeral and perennial habitats. However, few studies have examined mechanisms affecting distribution patterns and site use of anurans… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2020.106733
Abstract: Abstract The Neotropical region harbors an astonishing diversity of species, but still encompasses the least studied biogeographic region of the world. These properties apply for different taxonomic groups, and can be exemplified by drosophilids. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2024.2225
Abstract: The traditional narrative of the life cycle of migratory birds is that individuals perform long-distance movements between a breeding and a wintering site, but are largely resident at those sites. Although this pattern may apply… read more here.
