Journal ArticleDOI
High flight costs, but low dive costs, in auks support the biomechanical hypothesis for flightlessness in penguins
Kyle H. Elliott,Robert E. Ricklefs,Anthony J. Gaston,Scott A. Hatch,John R. Speakman,John R. Speakman,Gail K. Davoren +6 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that function constrains form in diving birds is supported, and that optimizing wing shape and form for wing-propelled diving leads to such high flight costs that flying ceases to be an option in larger wing- Propelled diving seabirds, including penguins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Food availability and population processes: severity of nutritional stress during reproduction predicts survival of long‐lived seabirds
Alexander S. Kitaysky,John F. Piatt,Scott A. Hatch,Evgenia V. Kitaiskaia,Z Morgan Benowitz-Fredericks,Z Morgan Benowitz-Fredericks,Michael T. Shultz,John C. Wingfield +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that CORT is a reliable measure of food availability and defines nutritional stress (stress) in kittiwakes, and conclude that severity of nutritional stress during reproduction is one of the major factors defining population processes in k Kittiwakes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Northern Fulmar ( Fulmarus glacialis )
Journal ArticleDOI
Age-related differences in the cloacal microbiota of a wild bird species
Wouter F. D. van Dongen,Joël White,Joël White,Hanja B. Brandl,Yoshan Moodley,Thomas Merkling,Sarah Leclaire,Pierrick Blanchard,Etienne Danchin,Scott A. Hatch,Richard H. Wagner +10 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that chick gastrointestinal tracts are colonised by many transient species and that bacterial assemblages gradually transition to a more stable adult state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Puffins as samplers of juvenile pollock and other forage fish in the Gulf of Alaska
Scott A. Hatch,Gerald A. Sanger +1 more
TL;DR: Puffins may provide a useful index of distribution and yearclass abundance of first-year pollock, a species that currently supports an important commercial fishery in the Gulf of Alaska.
