Large marine protected areas can encompass movements of diverse megafauna

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 2454-2463, September 2025.
Our results provide clear evidence for the value of the large scale of the Chagos Archipelago very large marine protected area (VLMPA) for protection of taxonomically diverse mobile megafauna. Further, we highlight the value of the VLMPA approach as a strategy towards achieving 30% ocean protection by 2030.

Separating biological signal from methodological noise in home range estimates

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, Page 2131-2144, September 2025.
Abstract Space use is commonly estimated in animal ecology and has become a cornerstone of evidence‐based conservation planning, with animal tracking increasingly used to underpin the designation of protected areas with high conservation value. However, tracking technologies and analytical methods may introduce biases in home range size estimates.

Hexavalent chromium is cytotoxic and genotoxic to hawksbill sea turtle cells [PDF]

Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology, 2014
Sea turtles are a charismatic and ancient ocean species and can serve as key indicators for ocean ecosystems, including coral reefs and sea grass beds as well as coastal beaches. Genotoxicity studies in the species are absent, limiting our understanding of the impact of environmental toxicants on sea turtles.

Vegetation cover predicts temperature in nests of the hawksbill sea turtle: implications for beach management and offspring sex ratios

Endangered Species Research, 2013
Whether a sea turtle embryo develops into a male or a female depends, as with many other reptiles, on the temperature during incubation of the eggs. With sea turtles, warm temperatures produce 100% females and, thus, increasing global temperatures have ...

Environmental implications of future offshore renewable energy development in Aotearoa New Zealand

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 912-945, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Global climate mitigation efforts seeking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions require more renewable energy generation and utilisation. In Aotearoa New Zealand there are initiatives underway to develop offshore wind, or in the future, arrays of tidal turbines or wave energy converters, as a new energy resource.
