Facilitating Postpartum Care with a Doula and Certified Nurse Midwife in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: A Qualitative Analysis of Maternal Experiences. [PDF]

Pregnancy (Hoboken)
Abstract Introduction Mothers of infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) are at higher risk of postpartum complications than mothers of well infants. The Postpartum Care in the NICU (PeliCaN) study was an unblinded, randomized controlled trial of doula‐supported, certified nurse midwife–delivered postpartum care for NICU mothers that reduced

Emergence, spread, and impact of high-pathogenicity avian influenza H5 in wild birds and mammals of South America and Antarctica. [PDF]

Abstract The currently circulating high‐pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) virus of the subtype H5 causes variable illness and death in wild and domestic birds and mammals, as well as in humans. This virus evolved from the Goose/Guangdong lineage of the HPAI H5 virus, which emerged in commercial poultry in China in 1996, spilled over into wild birds,

Where do Palaearctic Great White Pelicans (Pelecanus onocrotalus) presently overwinter?

Revue d'Écologie (La Terre et La Vie), 1991
The population of Great White pelicans Pelecanus onocrotalus breeding in the Palaearctic (from Greece to the USSR) is estimated at more than 10 000 pairs. This species has, however, been very little studied and the restricted amount of ringing carried out on this bird has not greatly improved our knowledge of its migration routes and wintering areas ...

Understanding sociality and behavior change associated with a nesting event in a captive flock of great white pelicans [PDF]

Zoo Biology, 2021
AbstractZoo‐housed pelicans are commonplace, but their breeding record is poor and little research is published on the activity patterns, as potential predictors of nesting, of captive flocks. Existing literature shows that comparative research can provide useful information for husbandry and conservation planning for pelican populations.

Combining radar and direct observation to estimate pelican collision risk at a proposed wind farm on the Cape west coast, South Africa.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Pre-construction assessments of bird collision risk at proposed wind farms are often confounded by insufficient or poor quality data describing avian flight paths through the development area.

Breeding seabirds at Dassen Island, South Africa: chances of surviving great white pelican predation [PDF]

Endangered Species Research, 2010
Seabird predation by great white pelicans Pelecanus onocrotalus is an unusual phenom- enon that has become increasingly frequent in the Western Cape, South Africa. We report the scale of pelican predation and its impact on the breeding success of 5 seabird species monitored at Dassen Island in 2006.
