Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Human Activity on Egg and Chick Mortality in a Glaucous-Winged Gull Colony
TL;DR: This paper focuses on the breeding ecology of the Glaucous-winged Gull on Mandarte Island, B.C. and the development of parental feeding in the Oystercatcher.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eggshell Taphonomy at Modern Gull Colonies and a Dinosaur Clutch Site
TL;DR: Eggshell weathering, fragmentation, dispersal, orientation, and dispersion patterns should be characterized during the excavation of fossilized eggs and nest sites were characterized in field and laboratory studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting numbers of hauled‐out harbour seals: a mathematical model
James L. Hayward,Shandelle M. Henson,Clara J. Logan,Catherine R. Parris,Matthew W. Meyer,Brian Dennis +5 more
TL;DR: A predictive mathematical model of seal haul-out is developed to assist resource managers in the selection of optimal census times and demonstrates that resource managers can use a simple algebraic equation based on deterministic environmental variables to predict times at which to census maximal haul- out in harbour seals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Egg cannibalism in a gull colony increases with sea surface temperature
James L. Hayward,Lynelle M. Weldon,Shandelle M. Henson,Libby C. Megna,Brianna G. Payne,Andre E. Moncrieff +5 more
TL;DR: Food-stressing surface feeders such as gulls, diminishing energy intake and lengthening foraging bouts, and increasing levels of cannibalism could lead to declining populations in the absence of compensatory adaptive modifications or range shifts are tested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eggshell taphonomy: environmental effects on fragment orientation
TL;DR: Although differences in orientation between non-transported and transported eggshell fragments were usually obvious and significant under the chosen experimental conditions, paleontologists are cautioned to interpret the taphonomy at fossil eggshell sites with care and within their sedimentological context.
