متن کاملTiming and Distance of King Eider Migration and Winter Movements
Understanding the patterns, extent, and phenology of migration is important for estimating potential influences of habitat or climate changes on populations of migratory birds. We used satellite telemetry of 100 individual King Eiders (Somateria spectabilis) tagged in northwestern North America in 2002–2006 to describe the timing and extent of their migration and winter movements in the Bering ...
متن کاملChanging distribution of flocking sea ducks as non-regenerating food resources are depleted
Sutherland & Anderson (1993; J Theor Biol 160:223–230) considered how the distribution of consumers should change as prey resources fixed at the start of a period of exploitation are depleted by foraging activities. Their model predicts that consumers initially aggregate on a single or a few patches offering the highest feeding rate. As the prey density in those patches is reduced, the feeding ...
متن کاملRelation of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1) prevalence to migration patterns of Pacific common eiders nesting in Northwest Alaska
To examine relationships between highly pathogenic avian influenza prevalence and migration patterns of Pacific common eiders (Somateria mollissima v-nigrum) nesting in Northwest Alaska, we marked 25 adult Pacific common eiders (24 females and 1 male) from the Cape Espenberg breeding area (28 June-7 July 2007) with satellite transmitters and sampled individuals for highly pathogenic avian influ...

We coupled intensive population monitoring with collection of blood samples from 383 nesting Pacific common eiders (Somateria mollisima v-nigrum) at two locations in Alaska (USA) from 2002 to 2004. We investigated annual, geographic, and within-season variation in blood concentrations of lead and selenium; compared exposure patterns with sympatrically nesting spectacled eiders (Somateria fische...
