    • Learning from loss : eroding coastal heritage in Scotland 

      Graham Allsop, Elinor Louise; Dawson, Thomas Christopher; Hambly, Joanna (2017-11-09) - Journal article
      Heritage sites are constantly changing due to natural processes, and this change can happen fastest at the coast. Much legislation has been enacted to protect sites of historic interest, but these do not protect sites from ...

    • Inter- and intra-year variation in foraging areas of breeding kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) 

      Robertson, G. S.; Bolton, M.; Grecian, W. J.; Monaghan, P. (2014-09) - Journal article
      While seabird conservation efforts have largely focused on protection from threats at the colony (e.g. reducing disturbance and predation), attention is increasingly being given to implementing protection measures for ...

    • Contrasting migratory responses of two closely-related seabirds to long-term climate change 

      Grecian, W. James; Taylor, Graeme A.; Loh, Graeme; McGill, Rona A. R.; Miskelly, Colin M.; Phillips, Richard A.; Thompson, David R.; Furness, Robert W. (2016-11-09) - Journal article
      Many marine predators migrate between breeding and non-breeding areas to target resources that are seasonal but spatio-temporally predictable, and so are vulnerable to climate-induced changes in prey phenology and abundance. ...

    • Occurrence, distribution and abundance of cetaceans in Onslow Bay, North Carolina, USA 

      Read, Andrew, J.; Barco, S.; Bell, J.; Borchers, David Louis; Burt, M Louise; Cummings, E.W.; Dunn, J.; Fougeres, J.; Hazen, L.; Williams-Hodge, L.E.; Laura, A-M.; McAlarney, R.J.; Nilsson, P.; Pabst, D.A.; Paxton, Charles G. M.; Schneider, S.Z.; Urian, Kim; Waples, D.M.; McLellan, W.A. (2014) - Journal article
      In this paper the occurrence, distribution and abundance of cetaceans in offshore waters of Onslow Bay, North Carolina, USA is described. Between June 2007 and June 2010 monthly aerial and shipboard line-transect surveys ...

    • Predicting future European breeding distributions of British seabird species under climate change and unlimited/no dispersal scenarios 

      Russell, Deborah Jill Fraser; Wanless, Sarah; Collingham, Yvonne C.; Huntley, Brian; Hamer, Keith C. (2015-11-02) - Journal article
      Understanding 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 ...
