This study uses 3D-printed puffin decoys to assess how artificial light and concealment affect detection probability in a seabird rescue program, finding higher search effort needed in darkness and concealment.

This study examines how male tree swallow provisioning and body temperature respond to partner workload and environmental temperature, finding that males limit provisioning below overheating thresholds.

This study examines how long-term temperature acclimation and dietary fatty acids affect metabolic rate and body composition in zebra finches, finding that temperature has a greater impact than diet.

This study investigates phototactic behavior of Leachs storm-petrel fledglings exposed to artificial light and finds they avoid light, seek shelter in illuminated areas, and may benefit from hide boxes to reduce stranding mortality.

This study investigates how artificial light affects Atlantic Puffin fledglings' behavior, finding that illumination increases stranding and that light attraction is not mitigated by changing light types.

This study examines transcriptomic responses to within- and transgenerational environmental warming in lake trout, finding that within-generation warm acclimation has a larger effect on gene expression than parental acclimation.
