Mitigating the effects of climate change on the nests of sea turtles with artificial irrigation. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2023 Abstract For sea turtles, like many oviparous species, increasing temperatures during development threaten to increase embryonic mortality, alter offspring quality, and potentially create suboptimal primary sex ratios. Various methods are being implemented to mitigate the effects of climate change on reproductive success, but these methods, such as ...

Responses of New Zealand forest birds to management of introduced mammals. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2021 Abstract Over the past 1000 years New Zealand has lost 40–50% of its bird species, and over half of these extinctions are attributable to predation by introduced mammals. Populations of many extant forest bird species continue to be depredated by mammals, especially rats, possums, and mustelids.

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Understanding how habitat fragmentation affects individual species is complicated by challenges associated with quantifying species‐specific habitat and spatial variability in fragmentation effects within a species’ range. We aggregated a 29‐year breeding survey data set for the endangered marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus) from >42 ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Fisheries bycatch is a critical threat to sea turtle populations worldwide, particularly because turtles are vulnerable to multiple gear types. The Canary Current is an intensely fished region, yet there has been no demographic assessment integrating bycatch and population management information of the globally significant Cabo Verde ...

Ibis, Volume 165, Issue 4, Page 1235-1250, October 2023., 2023 The nestlings of many Neotropical bird species suffer from Philornis (Diptera: Muscidae) ectoparasitism. Although nestlings are typically considered the intended targets, recent work indicates that Philornis infest adult birds more frequently than previously appreciated, yet few studies have concurrently surveyed nestlings and adults for Philornis in ...

Cavity‐nesting birds are limited by nesting habitat in Neotropical agricultural landscapes
Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 1045-1057, September 2023., 2023 Although cavity‐nesting bird diversity is highest in the tropics, little is known about how tropical birds use cavities, how agriculture affects their reproductive biology, and how effective nest boxes could be as a conservation strategy in tropical agriculture.

Effects of forest fragmentation on avian breeding activity
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Biodiversity declines and ecosystem decay follow forest fragmentation; initially, abundant species may become rare or be extirpated. Underlying mechanisms behind delayed extirpation of certain species following forest fragmentation are unknown.

Use of cenotes and the cave environment by mammals on the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico
Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 881-892, July 2022., 2022 Jungle on the Yucatán Peninsula overlies fractured limestone bedrock where flooded caves known regionally as cenotes represent the only reliable source of free‐standing water for much of the Peninsula’s wildlife. Using camera traps we showed that at least 20 mammals use cenotes to accessing drinking water, as well as for foraging, nesting, mating ...

The use of social attraction techniques to restore seabird colonies on Desecheo Island, Puerto Rico
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 2, Issue 2, April–June 2021., 2021 Bridled terns decoys with mirror as part of the social attraction techniques for seabirds implemented on Desecheo Island, Puerto Rico Abstract Desecheo Island (117 ha) was historically an important seabird island in the Caribbean with 15 species recorded, of which seven are known to breed, including major populations of brown boobies and red‐footed ...
