Worldwide Soundscapes: A Synthesis of Passive Acoustic Monitoring Across Realms
Darras, Kevin F. A.; Rountree, Rodney A.; Van Wilgenburg, Steven L.; Cord, Anna F.; Pitz, Frederik; Chen, Youfang; Dong, Lijun; Rocquencourt, AgnèsAim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. ...
Marine Important bird and biodiversity areas for penguins in Antarctica, target...
Handley, Jonathan; Rouyer, Marie-Morgane; Pearmain, Elizabeth J.; Warwick-Evans, Victoria; Teschke, Katharina; Hinke, Jefferson T; Lynch, HeatherGlobal targets for area-based conservation and management must move beyond threshold-based targets alone and must account for the quality of such areas. In the Southern Ocean around Antarctica, a region where key biodiversity faces unprecedented risks from climate change and where there is a growing demand to extract resources, a number of marine areas have been afforded enhanced conservation or management meas...
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...
Global phenological insensitivity to shifting ocean temperatures among seabirds
Keogan, Katharine; Daunt, Francis; Wanless, Sarah; Phillips, Richard A.; Walling, Craig A.; Agnew, Philippa; Ainley, David G.; Anker-Nilssen, TychoReproductive timing in many taxa plays a key role in determining breeding productivity1, and is often sensitive to climatic conditions2. Current climate change may alter the timing of breeding at different rates across trophic levels, potentially resulting in temporal mismatch between the resource requirements of predators and their prey3. This is of particular concern for highertrophic- level organisms, whose ...
