Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.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.

Pollution, habitat loss, fishing and climate change as critical threats to penguins [PDF]
, 2014 Cumulative human impacts across the world’s oceans are considerable. We therefore examined a single model taxonomic group, the penguins (Spheniscidae), to explore how marine species and communities might be at risk of decline or extinction in the ...

Impacts of fisheries on seabird communities
Scientia Marina, 2003 Long-line by-catch of albatrosses and petrels may soon lead to species extinctions. Set-net bycatch has caused major reductions in certain seabird populations. Some fisheries may decrease numbers of seabirds by reducing abundance of prey-fish.

Catch Rates with Variable Strength Circle Hooks in the Hawaii-Based Tuna Longline Fishery [PDF]
, 2012 The Hawaii-based deep-set longline fleet targets bigeye tuna [Thunnus obesus (Lowe, 1839)] and infrequently takes false killer whales [FKW , Pseudorca crassidens (Owen, 1846)] as bycatch. From 2004 to 2008 with 20%–26% observer coverage, nine mortalities

Bycatch of marine mammals and seabirds: Occurrence and mitigation
, 2021 Gillnet fisheries are generally considered environment-friendly, causing limited bottom-impact and generating high-quality fish. Nevertheless, gillnets are also associated with high risks of bycatch of non-target animals, including seabirds and marine mammals. To fulfil Denmark’s obligations with regards to European legislations and other international
