Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Conserving threatened species often requires effective predator suppression strategies, particularly on islands where introduced predators pose significant threats. Density‐impact functions provide a framework to quantify the relationships between predator abundance and impact but are currently limited to a single species with invariant impact.

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Yellow crazy ants (Anoplolepis gracilipes; YCA) are widespread invaders of islands across the Pacific and Indian Oceans. We investigated the ecological preferences and impacts of this species on a Polynesian atoll. We show that even at low abundances, this species can have important impacts on the fauna, including seabirds, and require management ...

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization
Ecography, EarlyView.In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

Chasing Fish: 130 Years of Innovation, Displacement and Depletion in Scottish Fisheries
Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rebuilding the depleted fisheries of the 21st century requires an understanding of past drivers of their decline. Despite Scotland's central role in the commercial exploitation of North Sea fisheries for over a century, associations between technological innovations, regulatory introductions and fishery landings have not previously been ...

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Measures of an organism's weight at a given length are often considered reliable indicators of energy reserves or ‘condition’, which can be related to fecundity and risk of mortality. Understanding the impact of environmental change on fish condition may therefore inform sustainable management of human activities in marine ecosystems.

AnimalsUnderstanding the anatomy of the avian nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is essential for diagnosing respiratory diseases and interpreting imaging findings. However, detailed tomographic descriptions of these structures are scarce in seabirds.
