Evaluation of the effectiveness of light streamer tori-lines and characteristics of bait attacks by seabirds in the western North Pacific. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 To improve the effectiveness of tori-lines it is necessary to evaluate the ability of tori-lines to mitigate seabird bycatch and determine what kind of seabird species gather during line settings, attack the bait and are incidentally caught. We conducted

Population Trend of the World's Monitored Seabirds, 1950-2010. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Seabird population changes are good indicators of long-term and large-scale change in marine ecosystems, and important because of their many impacts on marine ecosystems.

Consequences of cross‐season demographic correlations for population viability
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Demographic correlations are pervasive in wildlife populations and can represent important secondary drivers of population growth. Empirical evidence suggests that correlations are in general positive for long‐lived species, but little is known about the

Multi-Species Feeding Association Dynamics Driven by a Large Generalist Predator
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Multi-species feeding associations (MSFAs) are temporary communities of animals exploiting the same or co-occurrent resources. Their dynamics are species dependent, often creating competitive interactions, but they can also increase foraging efficiency ...

FACETS, 2016 We examined the diet of Atlantic puffin (Fratercula arctica) chicks at three midcoast Maine, USA, colonies during the years 2005–2014 and found that the puffins at each island have a distinct diet that has changed in recent years.

Risk Factors for Seabird Bycatch in a Pelagic Longline Tuna Fishery.
PLoS ONE, 2016 Capture in global pelagic longline fisheries threatens the viability of some seabird populations. The Hawaii longline tuna fishery annually catches hundreds of seabirds, primarily Laysan (Phoebastria immutabilis) and black-footed (P.

Nesting ecology of an ice‐associated seabird, Kittlitz's murrelet, at the northern edge of its range [PDF]
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We studied the Kittlitz's murrelet, an ice‐associated seabird of conservation concern, at the northern edge of its range. Over a 2‐year period, we estimated nest density and success at 2 sites, captured and telemetered nesting murrelets, and tested the use of a thermal camera to improve nest detection.

Energetic consequences of prey type in little penguins (Eudyptula minor)
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Investigation of foraging decisions can help understand how animals efficiently gather and exploit food. Prey chase and handling times are important aspects of foraging efficiency, influencing the net energy gain derived from a prey item.

Large‐scale assessment of intra‐ and inter‐annual breeding success using a remote camera network
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Changes in the physical environment along the Antarctic Peninsula have been among the most rapid anywhere on the planet. In concert with environmental change, the potential for direct human disturbance resulting from tourism, scientific programs, and ...

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2021 Powerline collisions have been identified on Kaua'i as a potential contributing factor to the large-scale decline of both Hawaiian Petrel (Pterodroma sandwichensis) and Newell's Shearwater (Puffinus newelli), but the scale of the powerline collision ...
