Acoustic signature reveals blue whales tune life history transitions to oceanographic conditions: Podcast Transcript

In this podcast for Functional Ecology, Assistant Editor, Frank Harris, sits down with William K. Oestreich—a postdoctoral fellow at Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, USA—to discuss his recently published paper ‘Acoustic signature reveals blue whales tune life history transitions to oceanographic conditions’. Will’s paper suggests that blue whales use flexible cues, perhaps including individual sensing of food availability and social information from other individuals (blue … Continue reading Acoustic signature reveals blue whales tune life history transitions to oceanographic conditions: Podcast Transcript

Thierry Grandmont: Le stress expérimental dans la migration influence la décision de se reproduire ou non

Dans cette nouvelle publication, Thierry Grandmont, un étudiant au doctorat à l’Université Laval, discute de son article récemment accepté “Should I breed or should I go? Manipulating individual state during migration influences breeding decisions in a long-lived bird species”. Il discute du lien entre la reproduction et la migration, des défis (et opportunités!) d’effectuer de la recherche pendant la pandémie et de comment l’observation d’oiseaux … Continue reading Thierry Grandmont: Le stress expérimental dans la migration influence la décision de se reproduire ou non

Thierry Grandmont: Experimental stress in migration influences decision to breed or not

In this new post, Thierry Grandmont—a Ph.D. candidate at Laval University, Quebec, Canda—discusses with us his recently accepted paper, “Should I breed or should I go? Manipulating individual state during migration influences breeding decisions in a long-lived bird species.” He talks about the link between breeding and migration, challenges (and opportunities!) of conducting research during the pandemic, and how birdwatching was a formative experience. Une … Continue reading Thierry Grandmont: Experimental stress in migration influences decision to breed or not
