The Generic Distinction of the Gough Island Flightless Gallinule [PDF]
Bijdragen tot de Dierkunde, 1961 The presence of five specimens of Gough Island Gallinules, Porphyriornis nesiotis comeri ALLEN, in the Zoological Gardens of Amsterdam originating from the remote Gough Island situated within the subantarctic confines of the South Atlantic Ocean, offered a favourable occasion for a study of these peculiar and rare birds.

Updated 2014 Inaccessible and Gough island assessments [PDF]
, 2022 This paper provides updated assessments of the rock lobster resources at Inaccessible and Gough islands. These assessments include updated data from the commercial fishery and biomass index data from the Leg1 annual biomass surveys. These updated assessment models will function as the underlying baseline operating models in the development of OMPs for ...

Abundance, distribution and breeding success of the endemic Gough Island Finch Rowettia goughensis between 2009 and 2018 [PDF]
, 2020 The impacts of invasive house mice Mus musculus have received increasing attention on islands where mice are the only invasive rodent species. On Gough Island, the impact of mice on seabirds has increased over the past decade, but the current population ...

Genetics of evolved load resistance in the skeletons of unusually large mice from Gough Island. [PDF]
Genetics, 2023 A primary function of the skeleton is to resist the loads imparted by body weight. Genetic analyses have identified genomic regions that contribute to differences in skeletal load resistance between laboratory strains of mice, but these studies are ...

A complex genetic architecture underlies mandibular evolution in big mice from Gough Island. [PDF]
Genetics, 2022 Some of the most compelling examples of morphological evolution come from island populations. Alterations in the size and shape of the mandible have been repeatedly observed in murid rodents following island colonization.

Potential for primary poisoning of a critically endangered endemic land bird during rodent eradication operations at Gough Island, Tristan da Cunha [PDF]
, 2016 Eradicating introduced rodents from islands restores these communities, but operations must mitigate bait uptake by non-target species to ensure adequate bait coverage, and minimize mortality of non-target species. Ingestion of toxic bait is a recognised

Genomic Targets of Positive Selection in Giant Mice from Gough Island. [PDF]
Mol Biol Evol, 2021 A key challenge in understanding how organisms adapt to their environments is to identify the mutations and genes that make it possible. By comparing patterns of sequence variation to neutral predictions across genomes, the targets of positive selection ...
