, 2021 Seabirds play an important role in the ecosystem by being one of the top predators of the marine food chain, and also as bioindicators of environmental changes.
Merto, Erika Diane

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2013 There is an imminent need for conservation and best-practice management efforts in marine ecosystems where global-scale declines in the biodiversity and biomass of large vertebrate predators are increasing and marine communities are being altered.

Oikos, EarlyView.Sensory ecology seeks to understand how organisms detect and use information from their environment, yet comparative analyses across multiple sensory modalities remain rare. Here, we present a roadmap for contrasting the sensory ecologies of birds and rodents using surrogate morphological and acoustic traits associated with vision, audition, and ...

Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 133-151., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Conservation Letters, 2022 Remote, high‐latitude oceans can prove challenging for the designation and implementation of marine protected areas (MPAs), partly due to issues in monitoring inaccessible localities and large spatial scales.

Digital surveillance of animals and nature recovery
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Digital surveillance technologies (DSTs) are widely applied in nature recovery for their potential to generate novel data on species and ecosystems through digital tracking, automation (e.g. from hazardous locations) and from newly recruited citizen scientists.

PLoS ONE, 2019 The general decline of seabird populations worldwide raises large concerns. Although multiple factors are interacting to cause the observed trends, increased mortality from incidental bycatch in fisheries has proven to be important for many species ...

Rhyming in the cold: first evidence of soniferous fishes in the Southern Ocean
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.The acoustic ecology of Southern Ocean fishes remains unknown due to a lack of dedicated acoustic research on the fishes of this ocean. Passive acoustic monitoring data were collected at the South African sub‐Antarctic Prince Edward Islands using an underwater acoustic recorder, and towed underwater Ski‐Monkey cameras were deployed to identify fish ...

Retrospective image analysis for long‐term demography using Google Earth imagery
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.We demonstrate that high‐resolution Google Earth imagery, combined with minimal field validation, enables retrospective tracking of individual invasive plants. The image shows one of the monitored individuals of Opuntia sp. in Greece. Our approach reveals long‐term demographic patterns, recruitment dynamics, and spatial expansion without continuous ...
