Notornis, 2016 The use of DNA barcodes (haplotypic variation in a 648 bp segment of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I [COI] gene within the mitochondrial genome, starting from base 58 at the 5’ end of the gene) as part of a species description is an accepted part of ...

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.This study presents a semi‐automated, rule‐based image analysis pipeline to detect ice seals in aerial surveys of the Western Antarctic Peninsula during an unusually low sea ice year. By using simple hierarchical clustering instead of deep learning, the method substantially reduced human annotation effort while achieving 82% recall, identifying 758 ...

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Remote sensing can reveal population dynamics of Antarctic penguin colonies. In this study, we analyze emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) guano stains in remote sensing imagery and discover colony presence predating known records for 18 colonies across Antarctica.

Rhyming in the cold: first evidence of soniferous fishes in the Southern Ocean
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.The acoustic ecology of Southern Ocean fishes remains unknown due to a lack of dedicated acoustic research on the fishes of this ocean. Passive acoustic monitoring data were collected at the South African sub‐Antarctic Prince Edward Islands using an underwater acoustic recorder, and towed underwater Ski‐Monkey cameras were deployed to identify fish ...

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Using 25–30 cm Umbra synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery combined with ground validation of our observations, we introduce a method to track the phenology of emperor penguins during the Antarctic winter. We successfully identified events in the breeding cycle, which were previously impossible to observe during the complete darkness of Antarctic ...

A Test of the Coase Conjecture Using Prices of Electronic Books
Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Coase Conjecture predicts that a durable‐goods monopolist without commitment will rapidly cut price toward marginal cost. We test this prediction in the electronic‐book market using release‐day prices. To proxy for marginal cost, we use competitive prices of public‐domain electronic books on the same platforms.

Can thermoclines be a cue to prey distribution for marine top predators? A case study with little penguins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The use of top predators as bio-platforms is a modern approach to understanding how physical changes in the environment may influence their foraging success.

A Trial Translocation of Little Penguin Eudyptula Minor Fledglings
Marine Ornithology, 2015 Seabird translocations have been attempted for more than three decades (Kress & Nettleship 1988, Serventy et al. 1989, Bell et al. 2005), but only recently have techniques been refined sufficiently for these operations to be undertaken with confidence ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Emergent ecosystem properties, such as population and trait distributions, biodiversity and energy and water fluxes, occur because of the dynamic interactions of individuals in their environment.

Frontiers in Marine ScienceWildlife conflicts require robust quantitative data on incidence and impacts, particularly among species of conservation and cultural concern. We apply a multi-assay framework to quantify predation in a southeastern Australian scenario where complex ...
