Severity of the Effects of Invasive Rats on Seabirds: A Global Review
Holly P. Jones,Bernie R. Tershy,Erika S. Zavaleta,Donald A. Croll,Bradford S. Keitt,Myra E. Finkelstein,Gregg R. Howald +6 more
TL;DR: Assessment of the effects of rats on seabirds can be improved by data derived from additional experimental studies, with emphasis on understudied seabird families such as Sulidae, Phalacrocoracidae, Spheniscidae, Fregatidae, Pelecanoididae,Phaethontidae, and Diomedeidae and evaluation of rat impacts in tropical regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Introduced Predators Transform Subarctic Islands from Grassland to Tundra
TL;DR: It is shown that the introduction of arctic foxes to the Aleutian archipelago induced strong shifts in plant productivity and community structure via a previously unknown pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sink or swim: strategies for cost-efficient diving by marine mammals.
Terrie M. Williams,Randall W. Davis,Lee A. Fuiman,John Francis,B. J. Le Boeuf,Markus Horning,John Calambokidis,Donald A. Croll +7 more
TL;DR: Video sequences of freely diving seals and whales wearing submersible cameras reveal a behavioral strategy that improves energetic efficiency in these animals and allows marine mammals to increase aerobic dive duration and achieve remarkable depths despite limited oxygen availability when submerged.
Journal ArticleDOI
From wind to whales: trophic links in a coastal upwelling system
Donald A. Croll,Baldo Marinovic,Scott R. Benson,Francisco P. Chavez,Nancy Black,Richard Ternullo,Bernie R. Tershy +6 more
TL;DR: The migratory movements of the Califor- nia blue whale probably reflect seasonal patterns in productivity in other foraging areas similar to those the authors describe for Monterey Bay.

TL;DR: The global benefits of an increasingly used conservation action to stem biodiversity loss: eradication of invasive mammals on islands are estimated to be 107 highly threatened birds, mammals, and reptiles on the IUCN Red List—6% of all these highly threatened species—likely have benefitted from invasive mammal eradications on islands.
