Defining and evaluating the impact of cross-disciplinary conservation research
(2010-12) - Journal article,
Cross-disciplinary research is advocated as a way of improving understanding of the complexity of environmental problems; cross-disciplinary projects, centres and academic institutes have increased. However, there is ...
Not all supercontinents are created equal : Gondwana-Rodinia case study
(2013-07) - Journal article,
The geologic records associated with the formation of the supercontinents Rodinia and Gondwana have markedly different seawater Sr and zircon Hf isotopic signatures. Rodinia-related (Grenville-Sveconorwegian-Sunsas) orogens ...
Spatial variation in maximum dive depth in gray seals in relation to foraging.
(2014-07) - Journal article,
Habitat preference maps are a way of representing animals’ space use in two dimensions. For marine animals, the third dimension is an important aspect of spatial ecology. We used dive data from seven gray seals Halichoerus ...
Apparent OSL ages of modern deposits from Fåbergstølsdalen, Norway : implications for sampling glacial sediments
(2013-10-16) - Journal article,
The application of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating within glacial settings can be limited where sediments have not had their OSL signal fully reset by sunlight exposure. Heterogeneous bleaching can result ...
Purse-seine vessels as platforms for monitoring the population status of dolphin species in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean : the use of fishing vessels as scientific platforms
(2016-06) - Journal article,
In the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) are often found in association with spotted (Stenella attenuata) and spinner (Stenella longirostris) dolphins. Purse-seine vessels use this co-occurrence ...
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; ...
Consistency in eyewitness reports of aquatic "monsters"
(2016-03-15) - Journal article,
Little work has been undertaken on the consistency/repeatabilityof reports of natural historical anomalies. Such information is usefulin understanding the reporting process associated with such accountsand distinguishing ...
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) ...
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 ...
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 ...
