DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8617
Abstract: Abstract We developed a continental energetics‐based model of daily mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) movement during the non‐breeding period (September to May) to predict year‐specific migration and overwinter occurrence. The model approximates movements and stopovers as functions… read more here.

Earlier and more frequent occupation of breeding sites during the non‐breeding season increases breeding success in a colonial seabird

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.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9495
Abstract: Abstract Many populations of long‐distance migrant shorebirds are declining rapidly. Since the 1970s, the lesser yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes) has experienced a pronounced reduction in abundance of ~63%. The potential causes of the species' decline are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00300-018-2372-8
Abstract: Information is needed on how anomalous environmental conditions affect important Antarctic ecological sentinels during the winter. Using a non-invasive method (scats), the diet of non-breeding gentoo penguins Pygoscelis papua at Bird Island, South Georgia, was… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00580-018-2645-1
Abstract: Dromedary camel is a seasonal breeder, with the maximum breeding activity during winter and spring and minimum activity occurring in summer and autumn in female camels of southwest Iran. This study was performed to investigate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10344-018-1217-7
Abstract: Some protected species have benefited from human activities to a point where they sometimes raise concerns. However, gaps in knowledge about their human-related behaviour hamper effective management decisions. We studied non-breeding common ravens Corvus corax… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.anireprosci.2018.06.014
Abstract: The effects of a shortened photoperiod on the reproductive performance and hormones of mature dromedary camel bulls (Camelus dromedarius) were evaluated. A group of 6 bulls were blindfolded to induce a daily photoperiod that was… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.smallrumres.2019.106026
Abstract: Abstract Goats show seasonal reproductive behaviour under subtropical latitude; limiting the scope of the intensive farming system. Therefore, the objective was to evaluate the efficacy of GnRH plus short-term progesterone treatment with or without eCG… read more here.
