The importance of scale in measuring the effect of aging in thick-billed murres
Professor Shoshanah Jacobs, her MSc student Joshua Cunningham, and some of their colleagues have published a study that hopes to show that the scale at which you conduct your experiment can really impact your findings.
In the study, they found a relationship between age and foraging behaviour in thick-billed murres (Uria lomvia), contradicting a previous study that had found no link.
