The population status, breeding success and diet of Subantarctic Skuas two decades after the feral cat eradication on Marion Island [PDF]
, 2013 Prey availability is often the driver behind predator population trends, diet and breeding success. Changes in predator abundance and breeding success represent numerical responses to changes in prey abundance, whereas dietary shifts can be classified as

Occupancy rates and nesting success of European storm-petrels breeding inside artificial nest-boxes
Scientia Marina, 2003 We report on occupancy rates and nesting success of European storm-petrels Hydrobates pelagicus breeding in artificial nest-boxes for five years. Plastic nest-boxes were installed inside two natural caves on the island of Benidorm (western Mediterranean),

Perspective: Hollow Core Optical Fibres for Ultraviolet and Visible Wavelengths
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Hollow core optical fibres bypass material constraints that limit optical fibres at ultraviolet and visible wavelengths. However, their challenging fabrication has limited their development, and significant gains in performance remain possible. In this perspective we outline approaches to enable the next generation of fibres for shorter wavelengths ...

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...

Sustainable Materials Design With Multi‐Modal Artificial Intelligence
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Critical mineral scarcity, high embodied carbon, and persistent pollution from materials processing intensify the need for sustainable materials design. This review frames the problem as multi‐objective optimization under heterogeneous, high‐dimensional evidence and highlights multi‐modal AI as an enabling pathway.
