As satellite-derived normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is related to vegetation
biomass, it may provide a proxy for habitat quality across extensive species ranges where …

Conditions experienced during the nonbreeding period have profound long‐term effects on
individual fitness and survival. Therefore, knowledge of habitat use during the nonbreeding …

Timing of breeding, an important driver of fitness in many populations, is widely studied in
the context of global change, yet despite considerable efforts to identify environmental …

Individual variation in disturbance vulnerability (ie the likelihood that disturbance negatively
affects an individual's fitness) can affect how disturbance impacts animal populations, as …

Information on seabird foraging behaviour outside the breeding season is currently limited.
This knowledge gap is critical as this period is energetically demanding due to post‐fledging …

Current and future climate alterations might impact ecological processes like timing of
breeding. We used multivariate linear models to assess the importance of food availability …

Carry-over effects describe the phenomenon whereby an animal's previous conditions
influence its subsequent performance. Carry-over effects are unlikely to affect individuals …

Species breeding at high latitudes face a significant challenge of surviving the winter. Such
conditions are particularly severe for diurnal marine endotherms such as seabirds. A critical …

Parasitic infection has a direct physiological cost to hosts but may also alter how hosts
interact with other individuals in their environment. Such indirect effects may alter both host …

We present the first study to examine the year-round distribution, activity patterns, and
habitat use of one of New Zealand's most common seabirds, the fluttering shearwater …
