Estimating the total mortality of seabirds following a marine heat wave
Abstract Marine heat waves detrimentally affect a range of marine species, including seabirds, and are increasing in frequency and severity. When thousands of dead seabirds wash up on beaches, the public becomes concerned. However, the number of dead birds recorded on beaches is only a fraction of the total mortality; most birds perish at sea.

Preventing Invasive Non‐Native Species: A Horizon Scanning for the Canary Islands
ABSTRACT Aim Oceanic islands host exceptional biodiversity and endemism but are highly vulnerable to biological invasions. We aimed to identify non‐native species with high potential to invade the Canary Islands within the next decade and to prioritise them based on their environmental and socioeconomic risks.

Darwin's Naturalization Conundrum in the Azores: Scale‐Dependent Patterns of Arthropod Invasion
ABSTRACT Aim To test the mechanisms governing the assembly of exotic arthropods within endemic‐rich island communities by evaluating Darwin's naturalization conundrum, which predicts that invasion success occurs through either functional dissimilarity from native species (Naturalization Hypothesis) or functional similarity with them (Pre‐adaptation ...

Spatial productivity disparities in Great Britain
We study productivity disparities across metropolitan and non‐metropolitan areas in Great Britain. Spatial disparities in productivity are large and persistent. Using a development accounting framework, we show that differences in area size and in the spatial distribution of human and business capital are key explanatory factors.

ABSTRACT Aim The introduction of non‐native species to native ecological communities by humans is a major driver of global biodiversity change. Studying how species introductions influence interacting species is essential to understanding possible functional consequences of global change because biotic interactions are ecologically crucial.
