Values of protected area landscapes shape the behaviors of subsistence users in Interior AlaskaNARA Subscribed
Diverse values expressed by people living around protected areas provide insight into shared reasons why agreements and tensions may exist yet are underrepresented in research with subsistence users. We administered a mixed-mode survey to residents living near Denali National Park and Preserve and Denali State Park in Interior Alaska, USA, to understand how values placed on landscapes by multiple interest groups could lead to...
Avoidance and attraction responses of kittiwakes to three offshore wind farms in the North SeaNARA Subscribed
Seabird collision risk is a key concern in relation to the environmental impacts associated with offshore wind farms (OWFs). Understanding how species respond both to the wind farm itself, and individual turbines within the wind farm, is key to enabling better quantification and management of collision risk. Collision risk is of particular concern for the black-legged kittiwake, Rissa tridactyla , where modelling predicts unsu...
Functional traits offer a rich quantitative framework for developing and testing theories in evolutionary biology, ecology and ecosystem science. However, the potential of functional traits to drive theoretical advances and refine models of global change can only be fully realised when species‐level information is complete. Here we present the AVONET dataset containing comprehensive functional trait data for all birds, includi...
Urbanisation weakens selection on the timing of breeding and clutch size in blue tits but not in great titsNARA Subscribed
Urbanisation is a globally occurring phenomenon and is predicted to continue increasing rapidly. Urban ecosystems present novel environments and challenges which species must acclimate or adapt to. These novel challenges alter existing or create new selection pressures on behaviours which provide an opportunity to investigate eco-evolutionary responses to contemporary environmental change. We used 7 years of breeding data from...
