A simple but novel approach to calculate seabird light fallout: A case study from Kauaʻi
Environmental Challenges, 2023 Injury and mortality of night flying seabirds due to lights (fallout) affects their long-term viability. However, the cryptic nature of these species hinders direct estimates and projections of fallout. The Kauaʻi Seabird Habitat Conservation Plan (KSHCP)

Contaminants in food chains of arctic ungulates: what have we learned from the Chernobyl accident?
Rangifer, 1998 The Chernobyl accidenr of 1986 caused radioactive contamination of widespread areas of reindeer pasture in Scandinavia. Reindeer {Rangifer tarandus) are especially exposed to radioactive fallout due to their wintet diet, of which lichens are an important
