Marine defaunation: animal loss in the global ocean
BACKGROUND Comparing patterns of terrestrial and marine defaunation helps to place
human impacts on marine fauna in context and to navigate toward recovery. Defaunation …

[图书][B] The enigma of reason
Reason, we are told, is what makes us human, the source of our knowledge and wisdom. If
reason is so useful, why didn't it also evolve in other animals? If reason is that reliable, why …

Seabird foraging ranges as a preliminary tool for identifying candidate Marine Protected Areas
CB Thaxter, B Lascelles, K Sugar, ASCP Cook… - Biological …, 2012 - Elsevier
There is a growing need to identify Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) for marine species. For
seabirds, MPAs include those near breeding colonies, offshore foraging areas, inshore …

High flight costs, but low dive costs, in auks support the biomechanical hypothesis for flightlessness in penguins
KH Elliott, RE Ricklefs, AJ Gaston… - Proceedings of the …, 2013 - National Acad Sciences
Flight is a key adaptive trait. Despite its advantages, flight has been lost in several groups of
birds, notably among seabirds, where flightlessness has evolved independently in at least …

When three per cent may not be three per cent; device-equipped seabirds experience variable flight constraints
Current guidelines for instrumenting birds state that external devices should not exceed 3–
5% of the birds' body mass; however, the energetic consequences of carrying any given …

Breeding density, fine‐scale tracking, and large‐scale modeling reveal the regional distribution of four seabird species
Population‐level estimates of species' distributions can reveal fundamental ecological
processes and facilitate conservation. However, these may be difficult to obtain for mobile …

Distribution maps of cetacean and seabird populations in the North‐East Atlantic
Distribution maps of cetaceans and seabirds at basin and monthly scales are needed for
conservation and marine management. These are usually created from standardized and …
