Akiko Shoji, Auteur ; Kyle H. Elliott, Auteur ; Stéphane Aris-Brosou, Auteur ; Rory P. Wilson, Auteur ; Anthony J. Gaston, AuteurEnergy costs during breeding play an important role in the evolution of life history traits. Seabirds show substantial variation in both incubation shift length (ISL) and metabolic rates. However, it is still unclear how variation in life histor[...]

Gaston, Auteur ; Jean-Michel Weber, AuteurThe laying of smaller replacement eggs has been described as a time-saving adaptation because chicks generally grow faster once hatched than inside the egg. However, chicks hatched from smaller eggs have, potentially, lower survival. Consequentl[...]

Kyle H. Elliott, Auteur ; Shoshanah R. Jacobs, Auteur ; Julian Ringrose, Auteur ; Anthony J. Gaston, Auteur ; Gail K. Davoren, AuteurBreeding Brunnich's guillemots Uria lomvia show stepwise mass loss at the time of hatch. This mass loss has usually been explained as an adaptation to reduce the cost of flight during the chick-rearing period because flight time increases during[...]

Grant Gilchrist, AuteurMapping areas of conservation concern for wildlife in the Arctic is urgently required to evaluate the impact of accelerating development in northern regions. There is substantial evidence that large seabird colonies reduce the availability of fo[...]

Jennifer F. Provencher, Auteur ; Kyle H. Elliott, Auteur ; Anthony J. Gaston, Auteur ; Birgit M. Braune, AuteurGeneralist predator populations are sometimes made up of individuals that specialize on particular prey items. To examine specialization in thick-billed murres Uria lomvia during self-feeding we obtained stomach contents and muscle stable isotop[...]

Kyle H. Elliott, Auteur ; Gail K. Davoren, Auteur ; Anthony J. Gaston, AuteurAlthough many studies involve observations of parent birds feeding their young, few investigators have attempted to quantify possible sources of bias associated with such observations. To address this issue, we observed the provisioning behavior[...]
