Accreted versus In Situ Milky Way Globular Clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Here we examine the Milky Way's GC system to estimate the fraction of accreted versus in situ formed GCs. We first assemble a high quality database of ages and metallicities for 93 Milky Way GCs from literature deep colour-magnitude data.

Flooding and a complex predator community drive American oystercatcher nest and chick survival in Virginia

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We investigated low American oystercatcher (Haematopus palliatus) productivity in the Virginia barrier islands, which historically supported high oystercatcher reproductive success. We found that chick survival was lower than nest survival, and that management may need to adapt to address evolving threats from coastal flooding and a multi‐guild ...

Not just ‘super‐predators': human behaviour shapes wildlife behavioural responses across avoidance, tolerance and attraction

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
