Estimating the total mortality of seabirds following a marine heat wave
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.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.

Risks of concealing environmental degradation
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract Current practice seeks to conceal the visual impact of land‐use change (i.e., development).

This mitigation results in, for example, vegetated buffer strips alongside cleared agricultural areas and earthen ...

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT Respiration is a key physiological process in cetaceans, closely linked to energy expenditure, behavior, and physiological state. Using drone‐based surveys, we quantified respiration patterns of southern right whale (Eubalaena australis) mother–calf pairs in southern Brazil across two reproductive seasons (2020–2021).

Philosophical Investigations, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 343-348, October 2026.ABSTRACT This paper is an investigation into the increasingly popular trend amongst philosophers on the metaphysics of powers, exemplified by the statement: ‘To be real is to possess a power to affect (or to be affected by) other things’. First, I briefly trace the history of this idea (from the Eleatic dialectic of ancient times to present day quantum
