Field tests of trophic interactions between non-native European green crabs (Carcinus maenas) and non-native clams along an estuarine gradient [PDF]
Estuaries are highly invaded ecosystems exhibiting many novel species interactions. This project addressed how predation from native and non-native crabs influences density of non-native clams along an estuarine gradient in Willapa Bay (Washington, USA).

Entering the Era of Directly Supporting Society With Observation‐Based Ocean Acidification Data
Abstract Ocean acidification is a growing concern for many nations around the world. However, our capacity to monitor changes in carbonate chemistry with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution, has until now, been limited, which has impeded effective action and decision‐making at international, national, and regional levels.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Estimating the total mortality of seabirds following a marine heat wave
Abstract Marine heat waves detrimentally affect a range of marine species, including seabirds, and are increasing in frequency and severity. When thousands of dead seabirds wash up on beaches, the public becomes concerned. However, the number of dead birds recorded on beaches is only a fraction of the total mortality; most birds perish at sea.
