Businesses use animals to project attributes of their brand and thus contribute to public familiarity with the species. In New Zealand, birds are arguably the most prominent animals in national conservation priorities and citizen science activities.

Monitoring faunal responses to biodegradable oyster reef restoration materials with camera traps in a subtropical estuary

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 8, November 2025.
Oyster reef restoration has become increasingly crucial due to global population declines. Intertidal oyster reefs provide essential foraging and loafing (resting) grounds to estuarine fauna. To reduce plastic pollution from traditional materials, biodegradable restoration materials have been introduced and are shown to support oyster recruitment ...

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Intra‐sinoatrial nematodes were incidentally recognized in wild‐caught Colorado Johnny Darters (Etheostoma nigrum, JD) in 2020–2021 and in Colorado Plains Topminnow (Fundulus sciadicus, PTM) in 2023‐2024. PTM and JD were evaluated histologically.

Silver gull carcasses host unique carrion insect communities on a nearshore island

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2025.
Abstract Island ecosystems offer unique opportunities to study the dynamics of species that rely on ephemeral resources such as carrion. This study investigated the necrophagous insect communities associated with carrion of silver gulls (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae) on a small nearshore island off the east coast of Australia, to assess how ...
