Managing the Threat of Subsidized Predators for a Threatened Shorebird
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Subsidized predators—native predators that have become more common due to human activities—challenge the persistence of many at‐risk prey species and require creative solutions beyond lethal predator control. In an 8‐year study, we placed small wire cages over western snowy plover nests that allow passage of plovers, but not their predators, and ...

Seabird Diversity and Deterrence on Floating Oyster Cages
Aquaculture Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Off‐bottom oyster aquaculture involves the use of floating gear, which increases the surface area at the farm and provides roosting sites for seabirds. State authorities require oyster growers to have operational plans that outline mitigation or deterrent strategies to prevent interactions between birds and floating aquaculture gear.
