Rauzon,Gérard Rocamora,James C. Russell,Araceli Samaniego-Herrera,Philip J. Seddon,Dena R. Spatz,David R. Towns,Donald A. Croll +29 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicity of diclofenac to Gyps vultures.
Gerry E. Swan,Richard J. Cuthbert,Miguel Quevedo,Rhys E. Green,Rhys E. Green,Deborah J. Pain,Paul Bartels,Andrew A. Cunningham,Neil Duncan,Andrew A. Meharg,J. Lindsay Oaks,Jemima Parry-Jones,Susanne Shultz,Mark A. Taggart,Gerhard H. Verdoorn,Kerri Wolter +15 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that diclofenac is likely to be toxic to all eight Gyps species, and that G. africanus, which is phylogenetically close to G. bengalensis, would be a suitable surrogate for the safety testing of alternative drugs to diclotenac.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removing the Threat of Diclofenac to Critically Endangered Asian Vultures
Gerry E. Swan,Vinasan Naidoo,Richard J. Cuthbert,Rhys E. Green,Rhys E. Green,Deborah J. Pain,Devendra Swarup,Vibhu Prakash,Mark A. Taggart,Lizette C. Bekker,Devojit Das,Jörg Diekmann,Maria Diekmann,Elmarié Killian,Andrew A. Meharg,Ramesh Chandra Patra,Mohini Saini,Kerri Wolter +17 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that meloxicam is of low toxicity toGyps vultures and that its use in place of diclofenac would reduce vulture mortality substantially in the Indian subcontinent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Can predation by invasive mice drive seabird extinctions
Ross M. Wanless,Andrea Angel,Richard J. Cuthbert,Richard J. Cuthbert,Geoff M. Hilton,Peter G. Ryan +5 more
TL;DR: Video evidence from Gough Island shows house mice killing chicks of two IUCN-listed seabird species, indicating that mouse-induced mortality in 2004 was a significant cause of extremely poor breeding success for Tristan albatrosses and Atlantic petrels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pollution, habitat loss, fishing, and climate change as critical threats to penguins.
Phil Trathan,Pablo García-Borboroglu,Dee Boersma,Charles-André Bost,Robert J. M. Crawford,Glenn T. Crossin,Richard J. Cuthbert,Peter Dann,Lloyd S. Davis,Santiago de la Puente,Ursula Ellenberg,Heather J. Lynch,Thomas Mattern,Klemens Pütz,Philip J. Seddon,Wayne Z. Trivelpiece,Barbara Wienecke +16 more
TL;DR: Protection of breeding habitat, linked to the designation of appropriately scaled marine reserves, including in the High Seas, will be critical for the future conservation of penguins and other ecosystem-based management methods must be developed to maintain marine biodiversity and ensure that ecosystem functioning is maintained across a variety of scales.
