TL;DR: In this article, the space use patterns of seabirds were examined to provide guidance on whether conservation management approaches should be tailored for taxonomic groups with different movement characteristics, and the results highlight that short-ranging and aggregating species such as cormorants, auks, some penguins, and gulls would benefit from conservation approaches at relatively small spatial scales during their breeding season.

TL;DR: This work quantified the links among national populations of these threatened seabirds and the regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) which regulate fishing in the high seas, making explicit the relative responsibilities that each country and RFMO has for the management of shared biodiversity.

TL;DR: It is argued that the European turtle dove is prone to undergo demographic fluctuations, a trait that makes it sensitive to anthropogenic impacts, especially when its numbers are decreasing.

TL;DR: It is shown that fat can be a reservoir for carotenoids, stored in the fat and taken from there in times of a higher demand, e.g. when mounting an immune response to parasites.

TL;DR: Generally, turtle doves showed high prevalence of Trichomonas infection and the potentially pathogenic lineage A/B was found in a recovering stock dove population, which are worrying for these columbid species.
