When and why to give shorebirds a head start

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Headstarting is a translocation technique involving the hatching or rearing of wild eggs or young in captivity and the release of those individuals back to the wild at or before independence. It has been trialed as a conservation intervention for shorebirds over recent decades to improve the population trend of target populations by increasing

PISCO: Intertidal: Mussel Growth Monitoring: UCSC: 2004

open access: yes, 2011
This metadata record documents the difference of growth rates of mussels within the study sites of PISCO intertidal and on moorings along the central California coast. The transplanted mussels are placed with in the exposed mid zone of the study sites or

Exploring the exploration: implications of leaving or remaining at the natal site during the early stages of independence in a partially migratory bird

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Despite being an important fraction of any animal population, juveniles are a severely understudied group. Juveniles often need to learn an array of skills that allow them to survive independently and do so while undertaking decisions that may impact their fitness, recruitment and survival, having therefore relevant demographic implications.

Can you really change your stripes? Stable wing ornamentation suggests limited condition‐dependent signalling in female common eiders

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Variation in the expression of white ornaments, such as flank spots or wing stripes, has previously been related to indices of individual quality in birds. We measured the white wing stripes of colour‐banded female common eiders Somateria mollissima in three islands in Iceland from 2014 to 2023, to determine whether the expression of these ornaments is

Evidence of salt accumulation in beach intertidal zone due to evaporation

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
In coastal environments, evaporation is an important driver of subsurface salinity gradients in marsh systems. However, it has not been addressed in the intertidal zone of sandy beaches.

Hidden partnerships in the dark: Cold‐water coral–fish associations in Fiordland, New Zealand

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The ichthyofauna of the Fiordland ecosystems of southern Aotearoa New Zealand was documented during four remotely operating vehicle (ROV) dives between 100 and 350 m depth. A total of 26 fish species were documented within two fiord basins.
