Dose response severity functions for acoustic disturbance in cetaceans using recurrent event survival analysis
(2015-11-20) - Journal article,
Behavioral response studies (BRSs) aim to enhance our understanding of the behavior changes made by animals in response to specific exposure levels of different stimuli, often presented in an increasing dosage. Here, we ...
Multiple Palaeoproterozoic carbon burial episodes and excursions
(2015-08-15) - Journal article,
Abstract Organic-rich rocks (averaging 2–5% total organic carbon) and positive carbonate-carbon isotope excursions ( δ 13C > + 5‰ and locally much higher, i.e. the Lomagundi-Jatuli Event) are hallmark features of ...
Hydrologic versus geomorphic drivers of trends in flood hazard
(2015-01-28) - Journal article,
Flooding is a major hazard to lives and infrastructure, but trends in flood hazard are poorly understood. The capacity of river channels to convey flood flows is typically assumed to be stationary, so changes in flood ...
The “social” aspect of social-ecological systems: a critique of analytical frameworks and findings from a multisite study of coastal sustainability
(2016-09-01) - Journal article,
We evaluate whether society can adequately be conceptualized as a component of social-ecological systems, given social theory and the current outputs of systems-based research. A mounting critique from the social sciences ...
Statistical ecology comes of age
(2014-12-24) - Journal article,
The desire to predict the consequences of global environmental change has been the driver towards more realistic models embracing the variability and uncertainties inherent in ecology. Statistical ecology has gelled over ...
Sub-annual variability in historical water source use by Mediterranean riparian trees
(2016-10) - Journal article,
The seasonal availability of water within a tree’s rooting zone may be an important determinant for individual tree growth and overall forest health, particularly in riparian corridors of Mediterranean climate zones that ...
Rethinking human responses to sea-level rise : the Mesolithic occupation of the Channel Islands
(2016-12) - Journal article,
This work provides new insights into human responses to and perceptions of sea-level rise at a time when the landscapes of north-west Europe were radically changing. These issues are investigated through a case study focused ...
A conversation with Richard M. Cormack
(2016-05) - Journal article,
Richard Melville Cormack is one of the giants who developed the theory of mark-recapture. Referring to his key paper in 1964, and the papers published back-to-back in 1965 by George Jolly and George Seber, the `Cormack-Jolly-Seber ...
Salmonella infection in grey seals (Halichoerus grypus), a marine mammal sentinel species : pathogenicity and molecular typing of Salmonella strains compared with human and livestock isolates
(2016-03-15) - Journal article,
Microbial pollution of the marine environment through land-sea transfer of human and livestock pathogens is of concern. Salmonella was isolated from rectal swabs of free-ranging and stranded grey seal pups (21.1%; 37/175) ...
Estimating Key Largo woodrat abundance using spatially explicit capture–recapture and trapping point transects
(2016-06) - Journal article,
The Key Largo woodrat (Neotoma floridana smalli) is an endangered rodent with a restricted geographic range and small population size. Establishing an efficient monitoring program of its abundance has been problematic; ...
