The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Diversity of Waterbirds in Chobe River, Botswana

Journal of Sustainable Development
The Chobe Riverfront has a higher diversity of large mammalian species. This study investigated the seasonal variation in the waterbirds diversity along the Chobe River, Botswana, from 2019 to 2025. Eight ground count surveys conducted from a vehicle were done during the wet and dry seasons across these years.

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 ...
