A quantitative comparison of tools for monitoring the abundance of crown-of-thorns starfish and coral coverNARA Subscribed
Effective monitoring of crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) populations and coral cover is critical for informing management of COTS outbreaks throughout their tropical Indo-Pacific range, including Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. However, existing monitoring tools such as manta tow and cull diver surveys have well-known limitations including accuracy and resource demands. This study evaluates a range of monitoring tools for asses...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
Profiling Inter‐Specific and Inter‐Estuarine Variation in Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances Across Two Recreational Fishing HavensNARA Subscribed
Contamination of estuaries with per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), such as perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), may impact recreational fishers who consume their catch. However, the presence and concentration of PFAS across commonly harvested estuarine taxa is rarely quantified. We used data from a state‐wide survey of recreational fishers to design and conduct a sampling program for assessing PFAS contamination across t...
Achieving conservation outcomes in plant mitigation translocations: the need for global standardsNARA Subscribed
Many countries have legislation intended to limit or offset the impact of anthropogenic disturbance and development on threatened plants. Translocations are often integral to those mitigation policies. When translocation is used exclusively to mitigate development impacts, it is often termed a ‘mitigation translocation.’ However, both the terminology and processes vary regarding interpretation and application, resulting in inc...
Golden Eagle fatalities and the continental‐scale consequences of local wind‐energy generationNARA Subscribed
Renewable energy production is expanding rapidly despite mostly unknown environmental effects on wildlife and habitats. We used genetic and stable isotope data collected from Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) killed at the Altamont Pass Wind Resource Area (APWRA) in California in demographic models to test hypotheses about the geographic extent and demographic consequences of fatalities caused by renewable energy facilities. G...
Comparative phylogeography of Amphicarpaea legumes and their root‐nodule symbionts in Japan and North AmericaNARA Subscribed
Aim Relationships of eastern Asian and eastern North American populations of legumes in the genus Amphicarpaea Elliot ex. Nuttall (Phaseoleae–Glycininae) and their root nodule bacteria ( Bradyrhizobium Jordan) were analysed to test whether both organisms share an identical biogeographic history. Location Japan and eastern North America (New York and Illinois). Methods Sequences of three plant genes (chloroplast trnL region, nu...
