Ecological niche models can be a useful tool to identify candidate reintroduction sites for endangered
species but have been infrequently used for this purpose. In this paper, we (1) develop activity-specific
ecological niche models (nesting, roosting, and feeding) for the critically endangered California condor
(Gymnogyps californianus) to aid in reintroduction...

We hypothesized that changes in southeastern Bering Sea foraging conditions for black-legged kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla)
have caused shifts in habitat use with direct implications for population trends. To test this, we compared at-sea
distribution, breeding performance, and nutritional stress of kittiwakes in three years (2008–2010) at two sites in the...
