Pagophilic rather than sea ice obligate: effects of sea ice and colony size on Adélie penguin molt location

David G. Ainley, Virginia Morandini, Grant Ballard, William Fraser et autres

Strongly pagophilic, the Adélie penguin Pygoscelis adeliae has long been designated a sea ice obligate species, which included the requirement to find pack ice on which to molt. However, observations have accumulated over the years to question this attribute; therefore, we investigated …

Data and code from: Global change pressures reduce reproductive performance and increase conservation reliance in a declining steppe raptor

Jorge García‐Macía, María Chirino, Mar Sánchez, Virginia Morandini et autres

Impacts attributed to global change, such as weather anomalies, land use changes, and anthropogenic disturbances, often provoke demographic catastrophes mediated by deterioration of reproductive outputs, especially in slow-paced animals, i.e., top predators, often used as indicators of good environmental health. In our …

Global change pressures reduce reproductive performance and increase conservation reliance in a declining steppe raptor

Jorge García‐Macía, María Chirino, Mar Sánchez, Virginia Morandini et autres

Abstract Impacts attributed to global change, such as weather anomalies, land‐use changes and anthropogenic disturbances, often provoke demographic catastrophes mediated by the deterioration of reproductive output, especially in slow‐paced animals, that is top predators, often used as biological indicators of ecosystem networks. …

How to prioritize measures to reduce the electrocutions of birds in distribution power line networks

Miguel Ferrer, Carlos Florencio, Roberto Muriel, Virginia Morandini et autres

The electrocution of birds on overhead distribution power lines is a well-known and widespread global conservation problem. Electrocution of birds never has a homogeneous distribution throughout the electrical grid, but a left-skewed distribution with a right tail of death concentrations. Here, we …

Epistemic opacity in Antarctic science: Unknowing the last frontier

Virginia Morandini, Álvaro Soutullo

Abstract Antarctica is facing intensifying pressures from climate change, industrial fishing, tourism and renewed geopolitical competition, even as scientific activity on the continent reaches unprecedented levels. We argue that this proliferation of research often fails to deliver the integrated, policy‐relevant knowledge needed …

Beyond birds: rethinking bird‐centered pathogen models in light of insect migration

Virginia Morandini

Migration redistributes biomass, nutrients, and pathogens across ecosystems. For decades, migratory birds have been treated as the default long‐distance pathogen vectors, shaping both conceptual frameworks and empirical models of disease ecology. Yet this bird‐centric view creates a profound bias: it overlooks trillions …

Influence of wind on movement patterns of young Spanish Imperial Eagles during juvenile dispersal

M. Ferrer, Virginia Morandini, Roberto Muriel, Justine Dewilde

Wind plays an important role in many of the biological processes that imply movements, such as plant dispersal or migration of flying species. Birds are known to select favorable wind conditions – usually tailwinds –and this selection is sometimes even indispensable to …

Nests in trees are as good as or better than cliffs for two formerly persecuted, primarily cliff nesting eagles in Spain: a cautionary tale in defining the habitat of range‐restricted or threatened species

Ryan Baumbusch, Jesús Bautista, José Rafael Garrido, Ian Newton et autres

In the late‐20th century, golden and Bonelli's eagles suffered population declines on the Iberian Peninsula, partly due to human persecution. Habitat assessments – especially for Bonelli's eagles – always found or assumed strong associations with cliffs that provided nesting sites. However, in …

Nests in trees are as good as or better than cliffs for two formerly persecuted, primarily cliff nesting eagles in Spain: a cautionary tale in defining the habitat of range-restricted or threatened species

Ryan Baumbusch, Jesús Bautista, José Rafael Garrido, I. Newton et autres

This dataset contains long-term monitoring data of breeding territories of Bonelli’s Eagle (Aquila fasciata) and Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) in the Betic mountain ranges (southern Spain) collected between 1980 and 2020. Data include territory identity, annual occupancy, nesting substrate, reproductive performance, and …
