BLOOD ISOTOPIC (δ13C AND δ15N) TURNOVER AND DIET-TISSUE FRACTIONATION FACTORS IN CAPTIVE DUNLIN (CALIDRIS ALPINA PACIFICA)
Abstract Avian studies are often interpreted using dual (e.g. 13C, 15N) isotope models, assuming turnover of both isotopes occur at similar rates, but only a few studies have quantified turnover… Expand
Signaling Individual Identity versus Quality: A Model and Case Studies with Ruffs, Queleas, and House Finches
- J. Dale, D. Lank, H. K. Reeve
- Biology, Medicine
- The American Naturalist
- 1 July 2001
We develop an evolutionary model that predicts that characters selected to signal individual identity will have properties differing from those expected for indicator signals of quality. Traits… Expand
A supergene determines highly divergent male reproductive morphs in the ruff
Three strikingly different alternative male mating morphs (aggressive 'independents', semicooperative 'satellites' and female-mimic 'faeders') coexist as a balanced polymorphism in the ruff,… Expand
Trade-offs, condition dependence and stopover site selection by migrating sandpipers

Western sandpipers Calidris mauri on southward migration fly over the Gulf of Alaska to the Strait of Georgia, British Columbia, where they stop for a few days to replenish reserves before… Expand
Western sandpipers have altered migration tactics as peregrine falcon populations have recovered

The presence of top predators can affect prey behaviour, morphology and life history, and thereby can produce indirect population consequences greater and further reaching than direct depredation… Expand
Effects of Predation Danger on Migration Strategies of Sandpipers
- D. Lank, R. W. Butler, J. Ireland, R. Ydenberg
- Geography
- 1 November 2003
We examine the potential selective importance of predation danger on the evolution of migration strategies of arctic-breeding calidrid sandpipers. Adult calidrids truncate parental care for reasons… Expand
Long-Term Decline in Body Size in a Snow Goose Population: Evidence of Environmental Degradation?
- E. Cooch, D. Lank, R. Rockwell, F. Cooke
- Biology
- 1 June 1991
(1) The effect of environmental factors on annual body size variation was investigated in a breeding population of lesser snow geese (Anser caerulescens caerulescens L.) La Perouse Bay, Manitoba,… Expand
Body Size Variation in Lesser Snow Geese: Environmental Plasticity in Gosling Growth Rates
- E. Cooch, D. Lank, A. Dzubin, R. Rockwell, F. Cooke
- Biology
- 1 April 1991
We examined the influence of timing of reproduction and brood size on growth rates of goslings of nidifugous Lesser Snow Geese (Anser caerulescens caerulescens) using data collected at La Perouse… Expand

Genetic polymorphism for alternative mating behaviour in lekking male ruff Philomachus pugnax
- D. Lank, C. Smith, O. Hanotte, T. Burke, F. Cooke
- Biology
- Nature
- 1 November 1995
ALTERNATIVE male mating tactics are widespread among animal taxa1–3, but there are few well documented examples of genetic polymorphisms for them4–6. The dimorphism in male courtship behaviour… Expand
