Using expert elicitation to predict feral cat, Felis catus, responses to management
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.We generated estimates of lethal feral cat management success for 864 scenarios, only 71 lethal management scenarios met a population reduction target of 57%. Cat‐targeted poison baits, in dry conditions and arid areas were most successful. Feral cat management requires continued adaptive strategies to reduce cat impacts.

Marine reserves solve an important bycatch problem in fisheries [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2017 Significance Bycatch, where one species is unintentionally caught in pursuit of another species, is one of the most ubiquitous and crippling challenges in global fisheries. The usual solution is to dramatically reduce take of the target species to allow “weak stock” persistence. Using a general strategic model, we show that establishing areas

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This original research piece demonstrates, through empirical and theoretical modelling approaches, that the epibionts of striped dolphins indicate dolphin abundance shifts caused by epidemics of dolphin morbillivirus (DMV). In addition, we provide the first SIR model to investigate the epidemiology of DMV in western Mediterranean striped dolphins ...

Reducing Prawn-trawl Bycatch in Australia: An Overview and an Example from Queensland [PDF]
, 1999 Prawn trawling occurs in most states of Australia in tropical, subtropical, and temperate waters. Bycatch occurs to some degree in all Australian trawl fisheries, and there is pressure to reduce the levels of trawl fishery bycatch.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...

Biodiversity in the bycatch community of Chinese tuna longline fisheries in the Pacific Ocean
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 The biodiversity of the bycatch community in tuna longline fisheries has historically been under-studied. In this study, observer data from 9744 sets of Chinese tuna longline fisheries were used to estimate the biodiversity of the bycatch by applying ...
