Anthropogenic and natural factors are associated with bird dawn chorus onset in subtropical East Asia

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic factors such as artificial lighting at night (ALAN) and natural factors including temperature and moonlight can affect the dawn chorus pattern in birds. However, most studies are conducted in temperate regions. We investigated the effect of anthropogenic and natural factors on dawn chorus timing in eight species of bird across Hong Kong ...

Under the cover of darkness: Foraging behaviour increases on cloudy, new moon nights in a pelagic seabird

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
While many visual predators feed exclusively during the day, others exploit foraging opportunities at night, although the efficiency with which they do so is strongly influenced by ambient light levels. We investigated the influence of variation in nocturnal light on the foraging behaviour of a small pelagic seabird, the European Storm‐petrel ...

open access: yes, 2009
The book gives a comparative study of the liabilities and duties of directors, officers and others and the risks they may be exposed to, when firm insolvency is likely to arise (twilight zone).

The effects of playbacks of anthropogenic noise on the anti‐predator behaviour of Pacific sand lance, Ammodytes personatus

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Noise from human activities has increased and been shown to negatively impact marine animals. Marine mammals and fish are vulnerable to anthropogenic noise because they rely on sound to communicate, find food, avoid predators and sense their environment. Forage fish are small schooling pelagic fish, important to many predators and instrumental

Killer from the Deep: Using Ecological Information to Solve an Open-Ocean Murder Mystery

open access: yesCurrent: The Journal of Marine Education
The deep sea and its inhabitants are often perceived as isolated from human society. However, this vast and largely unexplored environment—the largest living space on Earth—is vulnerable to human impacts and provides key services that sustain our planet ...

Ontogenetic and spatial variation in the trophic ecology of the shortfin mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus) in temperate eastern Australia

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The shortfin mako (Isurus oxyrinchus) is a fast‐swimming pelagic shark of global ecological and socioeconomic importance, yet it is relatively understudied in temperate eastern Australian waters. This study investigated the trophic ecology of mako sharks using stable isotope analysis (SIA) of nitrogen (δ15N), carbon (δ13C) and sulphur (δ34S ...

Method of meal delivery influences estimates of postprandial metabolism and alkaline tide in a benthic fish

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Intragastric gavage is widely used in studies of digestive physiology to deliver standardised meals, yet it remains unclear whether it elicits postprandial metabolic and acid–base responses comparable to voluntary feeding. Here, we tested whether the method of meal delivery affects the magnitude and timing of the postprandial rise in metabolic
