... or in the next generation are rare, especially in nutritional stress studies. This may be the case in part because of a long generation time for most birds, limiting our ability to track long-term consequences and transgenerational effects. Although there are challenges in long-term experiments and logistical...

... with unknown nutritional histories that fledged at three separate colonies. We found that (i) feather growth was not affected by experimentally induced nutritional stress; (ii) captive chicks raised on a restricted diet had higher levels of CORT in their primary feathers; (iii) feather CORT deposition...

...Carling D. Gerlinsky; Andrew W. Trites; David A. S. Rosen Marine mammal foraging behaviour inherently depends on diving ability. Declining populations of Steller sea lions may be facing nutritional stress that could affect their diving ability through changes in body composition or metabolism. Our...
