Causes and consequences of individual variability and specialization in foraging and migration strategies of seabirds (2017)
Journal Article
Phillips, R., Lewis, S., González-Solís, J., & Daunt, F. (2017). Causes and consequences of individual variability and specialization in foraging and migration strategies of seabirds. Marine Ecology Progress Series, 578, 117-150. https://doi.org/10.3354/meps12217

Technological advances in recent years have seen an explosion of tracking and stable isotope studies of seabirds, often involving repeated measures from the same individuals. This wealth of new information has allowed the examination of the extensive...

Contrasting drivers of reproductive ageing in albatrosses (2017)
Journal Article
Froy, H., Lewis, S., Nussey, D. H., Wood, A. G., & Phillips, R. A. (2017). Contrasting drivers of reproductive ageing in albatrosses. Journal of Animal Ecology, 86(5), 1022-1032. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.12712

1. Age-related variation in reproductive performance is ubiquitous in wild vertebrate populations and has important consequences for population and evolutionary dynamics.

2. The ageing trajectory is shaped by both within-individual processes, such... Read More about Contrasting drivers of reproductive ageing in albatrosses.

Telomere length measurement by qPCR in birds is affected by storage method of blood samples (2017)
Journal Article
Reichert, S., Froy, H., Boner, W., Burg, T. M., Daunt, F., Gillespie, R., Griffiths, K., Lewis, S., Phillips, R. A., Nussey, D. H., & Monaghan, P. (2017). Telomere length measurement by qPCR in birds is affected by storage method of blood samples. Oecologia, 184(2), 341-350. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00442-017-3887-3

Given the potential role of telomeres as biomarkers of individual health and ageing, there is an increasing interest in studying telomere dynamics in a wider range of taxa in the fields of ecology and evolutionary biology. Measuring telomere length a... Read More about Telomere length measurement by qPCR in birds is affected by storage method of blood samples.
