The retrospective analysis of Antarctic tracking data project
Ropert-Coudert, Yan; Van de Putte, Anton P.; Reisinger, Ryan R.; Bornemann, Horst; Charrassin, Jean-Benoît; Costa, Daniel P.; Danieli, BrunoThe Retrospective Analysis of Antarctic Tracking Data (RAATD) is a Scientific Committee for Antarctic Research project led jointly by the Expert Groups on Birds and Marine Mammals and Antarctic Biodiversity Informatics, and endorsed by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources. RAATD consolidated tracking data for multiple species of Antarctic meso- and top-predators to identify A...
Quantifying the reproduction of Bacillus thuringiensis HD 1 in cadavers and liv...
Raymond, Ben; Elliot, Simon L.; Ellis, Richard J.The Bacillus cereus group comprises a range of micro-organisms with diverse habits, including gut commensals, opportunistic pathogens and soil saprophytes. Using quantitative microbiological methods we tested whether Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) could reproduce in cadavers of Plutella xylostella killed by Bt, or in the gut of live insects, or be transmitted vertically from females to their offspring. We also tes...
DNA Metabarcoding as a Marine Conservation and Management Tool: A Circumpolar E...
McInnes, Julie C.; Jarman, Simon Neil; Lea, Mary-Anne; Raymond, Ben; Deagle, Bruce E.; Phillips, Richard A.; Catry, Paulo; Stanworth, Andrew J.Almost all of the world’s fisheries overlap spatially and temporally with foraging seabirds, with impacts that range from food supplementation (through scavenging behind vessels), to resource competition and incidental mortality. The nature and extent of interactions between seabirds and fisheries vary, as does the level and efficacy of management and mitigation. Seabird dietary studies provide information on p...
High occurrence of jellyfish predation by black-browed and Campbell albatross i...
McInnes, Julie C.; Alderman, Rachael; Lea, Mary-Anne; Raymond, Ben; Deagle, Bruce E.; Phillips, Richard A.; Stanworth, Andrew J.; Thompson, David R.Gelatinous zooplankton are a large component of the animal biomass in all marine environments, but are considered to be uncommon in the diet of most marine top predators. However, the diets of key predator groups like seabirds have conventionally been assessed from stomach content analyses, which cannot detect most gelatinous prey. As marine top predators are used to identify changes in the overall species comp...
