The causes and consequences of individual differences in animal behavior and stress
physiology are increasingly studied in wild animals, yet the possibility that stress physiology …

The increasing development of offshore wind farms (OWFs) worldwide leads to possible
conflicts with the ecological requirements of top predators that largely depend on offshore …

'The ability of the birds to show us the consequences of our own actions is among their most
important and least appreciated attributes. Despite the free advice of the birds, we do not …

Climate warming can reduce food resources for animal populations. In species exhibiting
parental care, parental effort is a 'barometer'of changes in environmental conditions. A key …

Seabirds exhibit considerable adjustment capacity to cope with environmental changes
during the breeding season and to maximize lifetime reproductive output. For example …

For fast-flying birds, the ability to respond to wind during landing is critical, as errors can lead
to injury or even death. Nonetheless, landing ability, and its ecological significance, remain …

In animals, species differ remarkably in parental care strategies. For instance, male-only
care is prevalent in teleost fishes, while biparental care predominates in birds and female …

In colonial breeding species, the number of adverse social interactions during early life
typically varies with breeding density. Phenotypic plasticity can help deal with this social …

Overfishing of predatory fish has contributed to an increase in forage-fish stocks. At the same
time, a rising demand for forage fish to supply fishmeal markets, in combination with climate …

Assessment of the displacement impacts of offshore wind farms on seabirds is impeded by a
lack of evidence regarding species-specific reactions to developed sites and the potential …
