It has been proposed that in slow‐growing vertebrate populations survival generally has a
greater influence on population growth than reproduction. Despite many studies cautioning …

As the world's human population increases along the coastal zone, with major alteration of
coastal embayments, increased on-water activities and a plethora of other intrusions into the …

Both survival and reproduction are important fitness components, and thus critical to the
viability of wildlife populations. Preventing one death (survival) or contributing one newborn …

Large‐scale climate modes such as El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) influence
population dynamics in many species, including marine top predators. However, few …

Increasing human activity along the coast has amplified the extinction risk of inshore
delphinids. Informed selection and prioritisation of areas for the conservation of inshore …

Inherent difficulties in determining the sex of free-ranging, sexually monomorphic species
often prevents a sex-specific focus on estimating abundance, movement patterns and …

The paucity of information on the recently described Australian humpback dolphin Sousa
sahulensis has hindered assessment of its conservation status. Here, we applied capture …

Genetic diversity is essential for populations to adapt to changing environments. Measures
of genetic diversity are often based on selectively neutral markers, such as microsatellites …

Food-provisioning of wildlife can facilitate reliable up-close encounters desirable by tourists
and, consequently, tour operators. Food-provisioning can alter the natural behavior of an …

Under increasing anthropogenic pressure, species with a previously contiguous distribution
across their ranges have been reduced to small fragmented populations. The critically …
