Predicting future European breeding distributions of British seabird species under climate change and unlimited/no dispersal scenarios
(2015-11-02) - Journal articleUnderstanding which traits make species vulnerable to climatic change and predicting future distributions permits conservation efforts to be focused on the most vulnerable species and the most appropriate sites. Here, we ... -
Images as proximity sensors : the incidence of conspecific foraging in Antarctic fur seals
(2015-09-29) - Journal articleBackground: Although there have been recent advances in the development of animal-attached ‘proximity’ tags to remotely record the interactions of multiple individuals, the efficacy of these devices depends on the ... -
Investigating annual diving behaviour by Hooded seals (Cystophora cristata) within the Northwest Atlantic Ocean
(2013-11-25) - Journal articleWith the exception of relatively brief periods when they reproduce and moult, hooded seals, Cystophora cristata, spend most of the year in the open ocean where they undergo feeding migrations to either recover or prepare ... -
Wintertime water mass modification near an Antarctic Ice Shelf front
(2013-02) - Journal articleUnder ice measurements by seals carrying a miniaturized conductivity–temperature–depth (CTD) instrument fill an important gap in existing observations. Here we present data from an instrumented Weddell seal that spent 8 ... -
Assessing the effectiveness of conservation measures : resolving the "wicked" problem of the Steller sea lion
(2010-07) - Journal article“Wicked” problems are those that are complex and that change when solutions are applied. Many conflicts in conservation fall in to this category. The study approached the problem of how to constrain the apparent wickedness ...
