Marine Bird Bycatch in Alaska Salmon Gillnet Fisheries

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Incidental catch in gillnet fisheries has a substantial conservation impact on marine diving birds. We synthesized available marine bird bycatch data from Alaska salmon gillnet fisheries to estimate standardized bycatch rates, model factors influencing bycatch rates, and estimate total bycatch.

Evaluating Post‐Survey Otolith Subsampling Strategies for a Small‐Bodied, Fast‐Growing Pelagic Fish for Inclusion in Stock Assessments

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Identifying efficient otolith subsampling strategies that maintain data quality for stock assessments is imperative given limited resources to meet age‐estimation demands of managed fish stocks. Our objective was to evaluate the performance of three different subsampling strategies: (1) fixed otolith subsampling, (2) proportional otolith ...

Associations of extreme weather, El Niño events, and streamflow with the annual apparent survival of a migratory riparian bird in the western United States

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Neotropical avian migrants are affected by environmental change throughout their full annual cycles. In the southwestern United States, these species rely on riparian corridors for food and water, for migration stopover sites, and as breeding grounds. Climate change imperils these essential ecosystems, with the southwest predicted to become hotter and ...

Wintering area and experience effects on spring migration strategies, timing and breeding success in Icelandic‐nesting Common Scoters (Melanitta nigra)

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Earlier spring arrival of migratory birds to breeding sites and advanced breeding often bring enhanced reproductive success but demand good body‐condition. When populations exhibit extensive winter distributions, the differing energetic costs associated with the quality and migration distance to each wintering area can have implications for individual ...
