Differential effects of human activity on Hawaiian spinner dolphins in their resting bays
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2017 Hawaiian spinner dolphins display predictable daily behavior, using shallow bays to rest during the daytime, bays that are also frequented by humans. All previous research on the potential response of Hawaiian spinner dolphins to human activity has been ...

Hot spots or hot moments? Contextualizing the spatio‐temporal scale of research on animal inputs
Ecography, EarlyView.Mammals play important roles in redistributing elements across ecosystems, concentrating biogeochemical inputs across both space and time. However, research on zoogeochemical inputs is often constrained by logistical considerations, potentially limiting our knowledge of mammals' impacts on biogeochemical patterns and processes.
