A global review of marine turtle entanglement in anthropogenic debris: a baseline for further action

Endangered Species Research, 2017
Entanglement in anthropogenic debris poses a threat to marine wildlife. Although this is recognised as a cause of marine turtle mortality, there remain quantitative knowledge gaps on entanglement rates and population implications.

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...

Associations of Fluke (Spirorchiid) Infection and Buoyancy Disorder with Death in Stranded Sea Turtles Undergoing Rehabilitation in Taiwan

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Sea turtles are increasingly regarded as indicators of coastal ecosystem health, as their clinical condition and disease profiles reflect prolonged exposure to environmental pressures in impacted marine habitats.

Regional management units for marine turtles: a novel framework for prioritizing conservation and research across multiple scales.

PLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundResolving threats to widely distributed marine megafauna requires definition of the geographic distributions of both the threats as well as the population unit(s) of interest.

Coyote density, demography, and genetic structure across North Carolina's barrier islands

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Coyotes colonized North Carolina's barrier islands beginning in the late 2000s, where park managers have documented that they prey on protected shorebird and sea turtle nests. Using fecal DNA, we estimated coyote density across 7 islands, which ranged from 0.04–1.01 coyotes/km2 and generally declined with isolation. Abstract Beginning in the late 2000s,

Digital surveillance of animals and nature recovery

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital surveillance technologies (DSTs) are widely applied in nature recovery for their potential to generate novel data on species and ecosystems through digital tracking, automation (e.g. from hazardous locations) and from newly recruited citizen scientists.

Declines in the diversity of fish represented in British domestic recipes over the past 100 years

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Fish and shellfish are nutritionally important foods, yet consumption in many high‐income countries remains low and concentrated on a narrow set of environmentally costly species. In the United Kingdom, fish consumption is dominated by a small group of fish, the ‘Big Five’, which is often treated as an inevitable outcome of supply, convenience
