Age mediates access to landfill food resources and foraging proficiency in a lo...
Martins, Bruno Herlander; Soriano-Redondo, Andrea; Franco, Aldina M.A.; Catry, InêsHuman activities have altered the availability of resources for wildlife. Landfill sites now provide abundant and predictable anthropogenic food subsidies worldwide, sustaining increasing numbers of opportunistic species and shaping their foraging behaviour. However, although individuals may differ in their ability to use these resources, the factors influencing this variability within species are still poorly ...
Fitness, behavioral, and energetic trade-offs of different migratory strategies...
Soriano-Redondo, Andrea; Franco, Aldina M. A.; Acácio, Marta; Payo-Payo, Ana; Martins, Bruno Herlander; Moreira, Francisco; Catry, InêsAlternative migratory strategies can coexist within animal populations and species. Anthropogenic impacts can shift the fitness balance between these strategies leading to changes in migratory behaviors. Yet some of the mecha- nisms that drive such changes remain poorly understood. Here we investigate the phenotypic differences, and the energetic, behavioral, and fitness trade-offs associated with four differen...
Urohidrosis as an overlooked cooling mechanism in long-legged birds
Cabello-Vergel, Julián; Soriano-Redondo, Andrea; Villegas, Auxiliadora; Masero, José A.; Sánchez Guzmán, Juan; Gutiérrez, Jorge S.Behavioural thermoregulation could buffer the impacts of climate warming on vertebrates. Specifically, the wetting of body surfaces and the resulting evaporation of body fluids serves as a cooling mechanism in a number of vertebrates coping with heat. Storks (Ciconiidae) frequently excrete onto their legs to prevent overheating, a phenomenon known as urohidrosis. Despite the increasingly recognised role of bare...
Expanding conservation culturomics and iecology from terrestrial to aquatic realms
Jaric, Ivan; Arlinghaus, Robert; Belmaker, Jonathan; Chen, Yan; China, Victor; Douda, Karel; Essl, Franz; Jahnig, Sonja C.; Jeschke, Jonathan M.The ongoing digital revolution in the age of big data is opening new research opportunities. Culturomics and iEcology, two emerging research areas based on the analysis of online data resources, can provide novel scientific insights and inform conservation and management efforts. To date, culturomics and iEcology have been applied primarily in the terrestrial realm. Here, we advocate for expanding such applicat...
Migrant birds and mammals live faster than residents
Soriano-Redondo, Andrea; Gutiérrez, Jorge S.; Hodgson, Dave; Bearhop, StuartBillions of vertebrates migrate to and from their breeding grounds annually, exhibiting astonishing feats of endurance. Many such movements are energetically costly yet there is little consensus on whether or how such costs might influence schedules of survival and reproduction in migratory animals. Here we provide a global analysis of associations between migratory behaviour and vertebrate life histories. Afte...
