Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been found to be ubiquitous environmental contaminants, present from the far Arctic reaches of the planet to urban rainwater.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of light- and SST-based geolocation with satellite telemetry in free-ranging albatrosses
Scott A. Shaffer,Yann Tremblay,Jill A. Awkerman,R. William Henry,Steven L. H. Teo,David J. Anderson,Donald A. Croll,Barbara A. Block,Daniel P. Costa +8 more
TL;DR: Combining measures of light-based longitude and SST-based latitude significantly reduces the error in location estimates for albatrosses and can provide valid latitude estimates during the equinoxes, when light- based latitude measurements are indeterminate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidental and intentional catch threatens Galápagos waved albatross
Jill A. Awkerman,Kathryn P. Huyvaert,Kathryn P. Huyvaert,Jeffrey C. Mangel,Joanna Alfaro Shigueto,David J. Anderson +5 more
TL;DR: Leg-band recovery information for waved albatrosses revealed mortality from both incidental catch and intentional catch for human consumption, and suggested that capture by fisheries is male-biased, which should reduce fecundity in this species with obligate bi-parental care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of species sensitivity distributions for wildlife using interspecies toxicity correlation models.
TL;DR: Using a bird surrogate to predicttoxicity to birds and the Norway rat to predict toxicity to mammals improved some estimates of ICE HD5s compared with those generated using only bird surrogates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Foraging activity and submesoscale habitat use of waved albatrosses Phoebastria irrorata during chick-brooding period
TL;DR: Highly accurate GPS dataloggers, immersion monitors, and remote-sensing images were used to examine the foraging habitat of the waved albatross Phoebastria irrorata with greater resolution than that in previous mesoscale studies, revealing reduced variability in habitat use at finer scales.
