Spatial segregation and bycatch risk as potential drivers of population trends of wandering albatrosses at South Georgia

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Spatial segregation in at‐sea distribution is frequently observed in seabirds and can have important implications for conservation and management. Globally, many albatross and petrel populations are declining due to bycatch in fisheries. In South Georgia, the decrease in wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) differs among breeding sites ...

Vulnerability of marine megafauna to global at‐sea anthropogenic threats

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened ...

Lessons from an eradication under multiple constraints of an island rat population of record density

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Invasive rats threaten island biodiversity, disrupting ecosystems and endangering native species. Although rat eradication has succeeded on many islands, tropical islands present unique management challenges. Strict regulations and financial constraints on some tropical islands further limit proven eradication methods, complicating rodent ...

Geolocation and immersion loggers reveal year‐round residency and facilitate nutrient deposition rate estimation of adult red‐footed boobies in the Chagos Archipelago, tropical Indian Ocean

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology
Bio‐logging has revealed much about high‐latitude seabird migratory strategies, but migratory behaviour in tropical species may differ, with implications for understanding nutrient deposition.

Global review of shorebird tracking data to identify research gaps and conservation priorities

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Tracking has enabled rapid advances in knowledge of the movement behavior and habitat use of shorebirds and is thus making a growing contribution to their conservation. However, realizing the full potential that tracking holds for conservation involves understanding what has been performed on shorebirds to date and identifying regional and ...

Drones: Emergence of a transformative technology for island rodent eradications

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Drones have emerged as a potentially powerful tool to address an ongoing need for alternative rodent eradication solutions on remote islands. This potential has now been demonstrated in a diverse set of operations across the Pacific. In the coming decades, this novel toolset also offers the possibility to step beyond existing paradigms and imagine a ...
