Article
Hannah Watson, Auteur ; Mark Bolton, Auteur ; Britt J. Heidinger, Auteur ; Winnie Boner, Auteur ; Pat Monaghan, AuteurRepeated exposure to elevated levels of glucocorticoids during development can have long-term detrimental effects on survival and fitness, potentially associated with increased telomere attrition. Nestling birds are regularly handled for ecologi[...]
Article
Gail S. Robertson, Auteur ; Mark Bolton, Auteur ; Pat Monaghan, AuteurCapsule: Morphologically similar sympatrically breeding species differ in diet and foraging strategies, which could explain interspecific variation in breeding success and reproductive output.Aims: To compare provisioning rate and diet of nestli[...]

Gail S. Robertson, Auteur ; Mark Bolton, Auteur ; Pat Monaghan, AuteurCapsule Black-legged Kittiwakes Rissa tridactyla breeding at a North Sea colony allocated more resources to younger chicks with increasing brood age.Aims Examine how feeding, attendance and resource allocation change with increasing brood age an[...]

Emma L. B. Barrett, Auteur ; Winifred Boner, Auteur ; Ellis Mulder, Auteur ; Pat Monaghan, Auteur ; Simon Verhulst, Auteur ; David S. Richardson, AuteurBird populations provide excellent systems to investigate variation in longevity in the wild since individuals can often be monitored over their lifetime. A number of recent studies suggest that the dynamics of protective telomere chromosome cap[...]
Article
Liliana D'Alba, Auteur ; Pat Monaghan, Auteur ; Ruedi G. Nager, AuteurModels of climate change predict that its effects on animal populations will not always be negative, but most studies indicate negative associations between changes in climate and the phenology of animal migration and reproduction. For some popu[...]

Maria I. Bogdanova, Auteur ; Ruedi G. Nager, Auteur ; Pat Monaghan, AuteurThe quality of conditions provided by avian parents will have consequences for both parental and offspring fitness. While many components of avian reproduction appear to vary with parental age, the effect of age on incubation has largely been ig[...]

Jonathan D. Blount, Auteur ; Neil B. Metcalfe, Auteur ; Kathryn E. Arnold, Auteur ; Peter F. Surai, Auteur ; Pat Monaghan, AuteurEffects of neonatal nutrition on adult reproductive performance have been little studied. In Zebra Finches Taeniopygia guttata, poor neonatal nutrition is known to be associated with reduced blood antioxidant levels in adulthood, which could imp[...]
Article
Hannah Watson, Auteur ; Mark Bolton, Auteur ; Pat Monaghan, AuteurWhile negative effects of human disturbance on animals living above the ground have been widely reported, few studies have considered effects on animals occupying cavities or burrows underground. It is generally assumed that, in the absence of d[...]

Francois Criscuolo, Auteur ; Pierre Bize, Auteur ; Lubna Nasir, Auteur ; Neil B. Metcalfe, Auteur ; Chris G. Foote, Auteur ; Kate Griffiths, Auteur ; Elizabeth A. Gault, Auteur ; Pat Monaghan, AuteurWe present the application of a real-time quantitative PCR assay, previously developed to measure relative telomere length in humans and mice, to two bird species, the zebra finch Taeniopygia guttata and the Alpine swift Apus melba. This techniq[...]

Kathryn E. Arnold, Auteur ; Jonathan D. Blount, Auteur ; Neil B. Metcalfe, Auteur ; Kate J. Orr, Auteur ; Aileen Adam, Auteur ; David Houston, Auteur ; Pat Monaghan, AuteurIndividuals can compensate for poor early, nutrition by accelerating their growth rates once diet improves, but if malnutrition Occurs at a key stage of development only certain body structures may compensate fully. This degree of compensation i[...]
