Machine and deep learning approaches to understand and predict habitat suitability for seabird breeding. [PDF]
Understanding seabird breeding habitat selection and suitability is often complex due to the integration of land and sea features across multiple spatial scales. A complementarity approach between convolutional neural network (CNN) and random forest (RF) models was applied to predict and explain the selection pattern of tropical larids breeding ...

Avian eggshell thickness in relation to egg morphometrics, embryonic development, and mercury contamination. [PDF]
We measured eggshell thickness at the egg equator and the egg poles for 12 avian species, and related eggshell thickness to egg morphometrics, embryonic development, egg status, and mercury contamination. Our study also provides a review of all existing eggshell thickness data for these 12 species.

Applying cumulative effects to strategically advance large-scale ecosystem restoration. [PDF]
International efforts to restore degraded ecosystems will continue to expand over the coming decades, yet the factors contributing to the effectiveness of long‐term restoration across large areas remain largely unexplored. At large scales, outcomes are more complex and synergistic than the additive impacts of individual restoration projects.

Interspecies conflict, precarious reasoning, and the gull problem in the Gulf of Maine. [PDF]
Abstract Contemporary conservation science requires mediating conflicts among nonhuman species, but the grounds for favoring one species over another can be unclear. We examined the premises through which wildlife managers picked sides in an interspecies conflict: seabird conservation in the Gulf of Maine (GOM).
