DNA metabarcoding for diet analysis and biodiversity: A case study using the endangered Australian sea lion (Neophoca cinerea)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 7, Issue 14, Page 5435-5453, July 2017., 2017
The Australian sea lion is an endangered apex predator which is endemic to Western Australia. We collected and extracted the DNA from 36 scats taken from five known sea lion haul out locations around the southeast coast of Western Australia. Several assays were used to target barcode sequences to both identify the diet of the sea lions and gain insight

Wait a Minute? Hiding Behavior of Burrowing Crabs and an Oversized Bill Explain Why Crab Plovers Prefer Armored Swimming Crabs

Ethology, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT In the Indo‐West Pacific biogeographical region, a suite of shorebirds searches for crabs as food. While the majority of these shorebirds hunt on burrowing crabs, the endemic crab plover Dromas ardeola additionally feeds on swimming crabs with “fast and powerful claws”.

Defensive Behaviour in Intertidal Crabs

Ethology, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2025.
Mangrove swimming crab showing defensive behaviour by raising its chelae; ruler and grey card are also shown. ABSTRACT Despite a long roster of prey defences against predators now documented by biologists, any given species utilises only some of them, and we have few a priori predictions as to if, when or where they will be employed.

Management implications of human livelihood strategies on Madagascar's coastal landscapes

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract The unsustainable harvest and consumption of wild animals destabilizes both wildlife populations and the human livelihoods that depend upon them. In coastal landscapes, the overexploitation of terrestrial resources can increase pressures on marine ecosystems, and vice versa.

Seabird nutrient subsidy alters size and resource use of functionally important mangrove macroinvertebrates

Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract Invertebrates have a central role in food webs and ecosystem functioning. By boosting productivity, allochthonous nutrient inputs influence the food webs of recipient communities. Understanding how allochthonous nutrient subsidies affect invertebrates is crucial, particularly in highly productive coastal areas.
