The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Use of stereo camera systems for assessment of rockfish abundance in untrawlable areas and for recording pollock behavior during midwater trawls [PDF]

, 2010
We describe the application of two types of stereo camera systems in fisheries research, including the design, calibration, analysis techniques, and precision of the data obtained with these systems. The first is a stereo video system deployed by using

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Prospects for the pink salmon fishery in the Russian waters of the Bering and Okhotsk Seas in 2024 based on the analysis of the juveniles trawl surveys aboard RV TINRO and RV Professor Kaganovsky in the fall of 2023

Известия ТИНРО
Trawl surveys on juvenile pink salmon in fall season provide crucial information for forecasting their returns because of lower mortality of the juveniles in this season compared to their mortality during downstream migration in rivers or in the early ...

Utterance evolution: the road to generative, combinatorial communicators

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Language has long been considered uniquely complex in the animal kingdom; however, animal research over the last decade has begun to challenge some long‐standing premises about exactly which language capacities are uniquely human. The task of resolving why and how complex communication systems evolve, particularly human language, has ...

Results of trawl counts for juvenile pink salmon in the Bering and Okhotsk Seas in 2024 and prospects for the returns and catch in the Karaginsky subzone and Okhotsk Sea in 2025

Известия ТИНРО
The key stage of juvenile pink salmon monitoring is the survey of their fall feeding in the sea that detects the year-class strength. The results of this survey are used for forecasting of the pink salmon returns to the Karaginsky fishing subzone in ...

Sailing From Penalties to Accountability: Business Strategies and Governance for Firms to Innovate After Environmental Misconduct

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms' continuous pursuit of making a profit in the competitive market may ignore the actions related to environmental responsibilities. This set of actions for financial gains constitutes environmental misconduct, which not only harms ecosystems and communities but also brings reputational damage. Negative press and social media amplification

Emerging patterns of species richness, diversity, population density, and distribution in the skates (Rajidae) of Alaska [PDF]

, 2008
Six years of bottom-trawl survey data, including over 6000 trawls covering over 200 km2 of bottom area throughout Alaska’s subarctic marine waters, were analyzed for patterns in species richness, diversity, density, and distribution of skates. The Bering
