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 ...

Seabird metapopulations: searching for alternative breeding habitats [PDF]
, 2009 Today, many seabird species nest in port areas, which are also necessary for human economic activity. In this paper, we evaluate, using a metapopulation model, the possibilities for creating alternative breeding sites for the Common Tern (Sterna hirundo)

Accounting for animal movement during aerial imaging surveys
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Animals are not stationary during aerial surveys; if their movements are related to the movement of the aerial platform, then bias can be introduced into subsequent population count estimates. We sought to establish a framework for assessing the impacts of animal movement on count error and platform bias by comparing aggregated counts and relative ...

Ecosystem-based Management for Protected Species in the North Pacific Fisheries [PDF]
, 2011 In the North Pacific Ocean, an ecosystem-based fishery management approach has been adopted. A significant objective of this approach is to reduce interactions between fishery-related activities and protected species.

Den attendance by Arctic foxes experiencing 10 years of increasing tourism
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Wildlife tourism is a growing industry, and an increasing number of people seek to observe and interact with wild animals in their natural surroundings. In Iceland, the native Arctic fox Vulpes lagopus is widespread and has been under heavy hunting pressure for centuries.

Using the empirical Bayes method to estimate and evaluate bycatch rates of seabirds from individual fishing vessels [PDF]
, 2007 Minimizing bycatch of seabirds is a major goal of the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service. In Alaska waters, the bycatch (i.e., inadvertent catches) of seabirds has been an incidental result of demersal groundfish longline fishery operations. Notably,

Ontogeny of foraging behaviour in an opportunistic gull inhabiting urban marine ecosystems
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Urbanization affects ecosystems by reducing biodiversity and displacing species from native habitats. While some suffer, others, like urban wildlife, adapt through innovative feeding and behaviours that improve their fitness in human‐altered settings. Despite research on wildlife in urban areas, the development of foraging behaviour in urban species is

People and NatureReciprocal relationships between fishers and marine life have been documented in Indigenous fishing contexts, but there are few case studies that describe the mechanisms of such relationships, and even fewer that explore other contexts, such as that of ...
