Although the burrowing activity of some species (eg gophers) is well studied, a
comprehensive inventory of burrowing animals in adjacent biomes is not yet known, despite …

Population estimates are commonly generated and used in conservation science. All
estimates carry inherent uncertainty, but little attention has been given to when and how this …

Maximising survey efficiency can help reduce the tradeoff between spending limited
conservation resources on identifying population changes and responding to those changes …

The yellow-legged gull Larus michahellis has undergone widespread colonization of the
urban environment in the recent past. The first urban breeding gulls were recorded in the …

Inaccurate population data remain a major problem in the conservation of burrow-nesting
Procellariiform seabirds. We evaluated the potential of predictive habitat modelling, in …

White‐chinned petrels Procellaria aequinoctialis and grey petrels Procellaria cinerea are
among the most frequently killed seabird species by accidental bycatch, and both species …

Regular estimates of breeding populations are important for detecting declines and for
implementing appropriate conservation measures in a timely manner. In Atlantic colonies …

Seabird numbers can change rapidly as a result of environmental processes, both natural
and anthropogenic. Informed management and conservation of seabirds requires accurate …

Estimating the population of burrow-nesting seabirds is a challenging task, as human
presence in the colony creates disturbances and can damage burrows and occupants. Here …

Even in areas as remote as the Southern Ocean, marine organisms are exposed to
contaminants that arrive through long-range atmospheric transport, such as mercury (Hg), a …
