Age-related spatial ecology of Audouin's gull during the non-breeding season

This study compares migratory patterns, habitat selection, and foraging behavior between juvenile and adult Audouin's gulls during the non-breeding season, finding age-related differences in migration distance, habitat use, and foraging strategies.

Mitochondrial substitution rates estimation for molecular clock analyses in modern birds based on full mitochondrial genomes

The paper estimates mitochondrial substitution rates for molecular clock analyses in birds using full mitochondrial genomes and fossil calibrations, showing lineage-specific rate variation.
