TL;DR: In this paper, a growing concern related to threats posed to marine wildlife from microplastics and frag- ment debris, the need for data at scales relevant to management, and the urgent need to develop interdisciplinary research and management partnerships to limit the release of plastics into the environment and curb the future impacts of plastic pollution is highlighted.

Testing for life historical changes in spatial patterns of four tropical tree species.
TL;DR: Spatial patterns of the mortality of tropical trees were investigated using maps of four species on an 80 x 80-m site of primary rainforest in Costa Rica, and the adults of these three species were significantly more uniformly distributed than expected from the random mortality of their extant juveniles.

Incidence of plastic in seabirds from the tropical pacific, 1984–1991: Relation with distribution of species, sex, age, season, year and body weight
TL;DR: This is the first solid evidence for a negative relationship between plastic ingestion and physical condition in seabirds, and the likelihood that higher quality individuals are more prone to ingestplastic has serious implications regarding health of some seabird populations.

Randall W. Davis,Joel G. Ortega-Ortiz,Christine A. Ribic,William E. Evans,Douglas C. Biggs,Patrick H. Ressler,Robert B. Cady,Robert R. Leben,Keith D. Mullin,Bernd Würsig +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used near real-time sea surface altimetry from the TOPEX/POSEIDON and ERS satellites to determine the location of hydrographic features (e.g., cyclones, anticyclones and confluence zones).

TL;DR: This paper reviewed the literature on North American grassland bird species that is relevant to the following questions: 1) What is the area sensitivity, whereby the pattern of a species' occurrence and density increases with patch area (Robbins et al. 1989), has been invoked as an important issue in grassland-bird conservation.
