Accelerometry reveals limits to use of an energy-saving anthropogenic food source by a threatened species: A case of Carnaby's cockatoos (Zanda latirostris) and canola. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2023
We used accelerometer‐capable GPS tracking to investigate the use of a novel food source by endangered Carnaby's cockatoos (Zanda latirostris) during nestling provisioning. We found the importance of canola relative to native food sources increased with increased maximum daily temperature; however, there was a threshold for time spent in canola, even ...

Adapting conservation breeding techniques using a data‐driven approach to restore the ‘Alalā (Hawaiian crow, Corvus hawaiiensis)

Zoo Biology, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 834-839, November/December 2023., 2023
We describe our transition from hands‐on avicultural techniques for Hawaiian crow (‘Alalā; Corvus hawaiiensis) conservation breeding to parental breeding, to prepare the birds to thrive in the wild after reintroduction. Moreover, we share how we monitor pairs to quantitatively evaluate reproductive performance and identify release candidates.

Feathers and the Making of Luxury Experiences at the Sixteenth‐Century Spanish Court☆

Renaissance Studies, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 399-438, June 2023., 2023
Abstract This article charts the activities of featherworkers (plumajeros) at the Habsburg court in Madrid. Drawing on archival records, objects, and paintings from sixteenth‐century Spain, I argue that royal featherworkers' skills, wit, and intricacy in the transformation of materials established feathers as luxury items.

The Red‐billed Leiothrix (Leiothrix lutea): a new invasive species for Britain?

Ibis, Volume 164, Issue 4, Page 1285-1294, October 2022., 2022
Invasive non‐native species (INNS) are one of the major threats to global biodiversity. Climate change and garden bird‐feeding may facilitate the establishment of INNS. The Red‐billed Leiothrix Leiothrix lutea is a small woodland passerine, native to subtropical Asia, that is an INNS in several parts of the world, including Europe, following escapes ...

The broiler chicken and the Anthropocene: Using critical nexus thinking to unpack the geographies of Gallus gallus domesticus

The Geographical Journal, Volume 188, Issue 3, Page 328-341, September 2022., 2022
Abstract A key scientific publication demonstrates that the bio‐physical composition of the broiler chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) represents a signal of the Anthropocene. This finding contributes to a wider body of evidence that locates the beginning of the Anthropocene in the mid‐20th century, and is part of a broader intellectual project that ...
