Radio-telemetry observations of the first 650 km of the migration of Bar-tailed Godwits Limosa lapponica from the Wadden Sea to the Russian Arctic [PDF]

, 2002
In 1999 and 2000, 45 Bar-tailed Godwits Limosa lapponica were supplied with radio-transmitters during spring staging on the island Texel in the western Wadden Sea. With the use of Automatic Radio Tracking Stations (ARTS) on Texel and in south Sweden, and

Salmonella enterica serovars co‐exist sporadically and at low abundance in US mid‐Atlantic irrigation ponds

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Spring or rain‐fed ponds are frequent features on US mid‐Atlantic farms. The need to conduct preharvest agricultural water assessments to identify microbial hazards, as required by the US Produce Safety Rule, highlights knowledge gaps pertaining to pond water adequacy for vegetable production.

Experimental and field evidence indicate that islet‐nesting tundra birds experience reduced nest predation and benefit indirectly from high snow goose densities

Oikos, EarlyView.
Landscape features can shape the occurrence and strength of predator–prey interactions by influencing predation risk and prey distribution. In the High Arctic, some bird species select nesting sites with physical features that impede access for their main terrestrial predator, the Arctic fox.

Survival and harvest of Atlantic Flyway resident population Canada Geese

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015
Resident Population Canada geese (Branta canadensis) are a valuable natural resource, but at high densities they create problems by colliding with vehicles, damaging crops, and fouling parks with feces.

Climate‐driven intraspecific shifts in seed germination phenology: Consequences for native temperate woodland restoration and regeneration

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As climate change alters seasonal patterns, temperate tree populations face a growing risk of phenological mismatch, where seed dispersal and germination no longer align with favourable conditions for survival. This study predicted how warming by the end of the century will affect seed dormancy breaking and germination in populations of three UK tree ...

Big Bird: A global dataset of birds in drone imagery annotated to species level

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Drones are a valuable tool for surveying birds, but manually detecting and identifying birds in drone images is costly. We assembled a diverse dataset of 23 865 images of birds captured with 21 different drones across 11 countries. We labelled 4824 of these images, detailing the location, species, posture category, age category, and sex of 49 990 birds

Quantitative Proteomics Analysis Reveals XDH Related with Ovarian Oxidative Stress Involved in Broodiness of Geese

Animals
Studies have demonstrated significant alterations in ovarian oxidative stress levels, ovarian degeneration, and follicular atresia during the broody period in geese. The results of this study showed that during the broody period, geese exhibited degraded

Accounting for animal movement during aerial imaging surveys

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Animals are not stationary during aerial surveys; if their movements are related to the movement of the aerial platform, then bias can be introduced into subsequent population count estimates. We sought to establish a framework for assessing the impacts of animal movement on count error and platform bias by comparing aggregated counts and relative ...

Supporting Sustainability Through Pensions: The Sustainability Preferences of Pension Beneficiaries in the United Kingdom Defined Contributions Pension Schemes

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pension funds are the largest combined institutional investors in the world. The integration of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) criteria into defined contribution (DC) pension investments by pension funds can result in sustainable pensions that are in line with pension beneficiary preferences and help achieve Sustainable Development
