Challenges of Monitoring Endangered Bryde's Whales During a Period of Rapid Environmental Change

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Estimating population size is challenging for rare and elusive species that occur at low densities and are difficult to detect during sampling. We estimated the abundance of a Nationally critical whale species—Aotearoa New Zealand Bryde's whales—using a custom‐formulated POPAN model which incorporated transience to account for their complex residency ...

Nest Survival Models and Genomics Illuminate Hybridisation Attempts, Guiding Culturally Informed Management to Recover a Critically Endangered Seabird

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Long‐term monitoring has revealed hybridisation attempts between the Critically Endangered Kuaka Whenua Hou (KWH, Pelecanoides whenuahouensis) and the abundant Kuaka (P. urinatrix). Here we use modelling based on population monitoring data in tandem with genomic data to investigate these attempts and the risk they pose to KWH recovery.

‘Missing persons’: Ancient legacies of human–environment interaction in tropical natural properties inscribed under the 1972 World Heritage Convention

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Cultural and natural values form the core of World Heritage designation. Properties displaying both values, however, comprise a fraction of inscriptions (currently c. 3%) to the World Heritage List. In 1992, when that fraction stood at c. 5%, adoption of the popular ‘cultural landscapes’ category of cultural heritage in 1992 was therefore ...

Uptake and early outcomes of a meal replacement intervention in an ethnically diverse adult population living with obesity and significant comorbidity

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Structured meal replacement low energy diets (MR‐LED) are effective in obesity management, but evidence for individuals of minority ethnic groups or those with BMI >35 kg/m2 and significant comorbidities is limited. Materials and methods We evaluated the early effectiveness of a weight management program delivered by a multidisciplinary ...

These are the dates of surveys by James Rennell (grey) and Richard Wilcox (black), both under the direction of the East India Company; no other surveys between these dates can refine the estimate of the ...
