Estimating the total mortality of seabirds following a marine heat wave

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
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.

Monitoring wildlife health for diseases with visible signs by integrating camera traps with marked individuals

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Monitoring wildlife health is essential for conservation and management, wildlife and livestock welfare, and public health in a One Health framework. Yet, wildlife health monitoring often requires long‐term fieldwork and intensive sampling, which can be costly or logistically challenging, especially for remote, rare, or elusive populations. To

Integrating traditional practices, livelihoods, and conservation with Indigenous‐led furbearer camera trapping

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Contemporary conservation goals have a greater chance of success when practitioners collaborate with Indigenous communities. The importance of such collaborations has spurred calls by Western and Indigenous researchers to engage in equitable coproduction of ecological research that integrates multiple ways of knowing.

The Parasitoid Wasp Glyptapanteles porthetriae Induces a Photoperiod‐Dependent Diapause‐Like State in Its Potential Overwintering Host Lasiocampa quercus

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We evaluated Lasiocampa quercus as an overwintering host for the koinobiont larval endoparasitoid Glyptapanteles porthetriae by exposing parasitized larvae to different environmental conditions and comparing parasitoid development with that in the primary host Lymantria dispar.

Genetic and Ecological Management of Pacific Salmon Fisheries for the 21st Century

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Based on ecological adaptation theory, tremendous effort is being spent on measures that are eliminating salmon hatcheries and fishing opportunities with the intention of protecting wild runs deemed to be of particular genetic importance to the survival of the species.

Can you really change your stripes? Stable wing ornamentation suggests limited condition‐dependent signalling in female common eiders

Ibis, EarlyView.
Variation in the expression of white ornaments, such as flank spots or wing stripes, has previously been related to indices of individual quality in birds. We measured the white wing stripes of colour‐banded female common eiders Somateria mollissima in three islands in Iceland from 2014 to 2023, to determine whether the expression of these ornaments is

Genetic Relationships Between Residual Gain and Economically Important Traits in Nellore Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable beef production requires identifying animals with superior feed efficiency to reduce environmental impact and production costs. This study aimed to estimate heritability and genetic correlations between residual gain (RG) and growth, reproductive, carcass and feed efficiency traits in Nellore cattle.

Evaluating the Predictive Value of Estimated Breeding Values of Piétrain Sires for Uniformity and Survival in Their Crossbred Progeny

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High litter sizes in pigs are associated with lower birth weights and increased within‐litter variation, which poses challenges to pig farming. Improving piglet uniformity and survival via genetic selection of terminal boars could be a strategy to enhance these traits.
