Translocating European ground squirrels Spermophilus citellus has become a popular conservation tool. However, few release techniques have been carefully evaluated. To contribute to an evidence‐based ground squirrel translocation guide for wildlife managers, we evaluated conditions of habitat manipulation (grass height and artificial burrow entrance ...

The use of Google EarthTM satellite imagery to detect the nests of masked boobies Sula dactylatra
Abstract Masked boobies Sula dactylatra, like many other species of Sulidae, do not construct elaborate nests. However, their nest sites produce a characteristic ‘nest signature’. We found that these nest signatures could apparently be seen in freely available satellite images (Google EarthTM) of the main island of Ascension in the south Atlantic.

Prehistoric Intense Tropical Cyclones in the South Pacific Ocean
Abstract Tropical cyclones in relation to global warming pose an increasing threat to coastal populations and property, highlighting an urgent need for millennial‐scale paleoclimate reconstructions. In this study, we reconstruct an 8500‐year record of tropical cyclone activity, based on sediment cores from a coastal lake in Fiji.

ABSTRACT The glaciation of Scotland during the Loch Lomond Stadial (LLS; 12.9–11.7 ka BP) left a distinct and well‐preserved geomorphological signature, permitting detailed reconstructions of former glaciers and palaeoclimatic conditions. However, the extent and style of glaciation in the Southeast Grampians remains poorly constrained.

The green abalone exhibits a distinctive neutral genetic structuring influenced by geographic distance and marine currents rather than local adaptations. Analyses using 1900 neutral and 17 putative outlier SNPs revealed three distinct populations: the North group (California to Ensenada, Baja California), a population on Guadalupe Island, and the South
