Habitat segregation by female humpback whales in Hawaiian waters: avoidance of males? (2013)
Journal Article
Craig, A. S., Herman, L. M., Pack, A. A., & Waterman, J. (2014). Habitat segregation by female humpback whales in Hawaiian waters: avoidance of males?. Behaviour, 151(5), 613-631. https://doi.org/10.1163/1568539x-00003151

Humpback whales congregate annually in low-latitude winter breeding and calving grounds. While on these grounds, females with a dependent calf (‘maternal females’) are sometimes closely attended by one or more male escorts. Using data collected from...

Framework for understanding marine ecosystem health (2013)
Journal Article
Tett, P., Gowen, R., Painting, S., Elliott, M., Forster, R., Mills, D., Bresnan, E., Capuzzo, E., Fernandes, T., Foden, J., Geider, R., Gilpin, L., Huxham, M., McQuatters-Gollop, A., Malcolm, S., Saux-Picart, S., Platt, T., Racault, M., Sathyendranath, S., van der Molen, J., & Wilkinson, M. (2013). Framework for understanding marine ecosystem health. Marine Ecology Progress Series, 494, 1-27. https://doi.org/10.3354/meps10539

Although the terms ‘health’ and ‘healthy’ are often applied to marine ecosystems and communicate information about holistic condition (e.g. as required by the Ecosystem Approach), their meaning is unclear. Ecosystems have been understood in various w... Read More about Framework for understanding marine ecosystem health.

Why flower visitation is a poor proxy for pollination: measuring single-visit pollen deposition, with implications for pollination networks and conservation (2013)
Journal Article
King, C., Ballantyne, G., & Willmer, P. G. (2013). Why flower visitation is a poor proxy for pollination: measuring single-visit pollen deposition, with implications for pollination networks and conservation. Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 4(9), 811-818. https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210x.12074

Summary
The relative importance of specialized and generalized plant-pollinator relationships is contentious, yet analyses usually avoid direct measures of pollinator quality (effectiveness), citing difficulties in collecting such data in the field...

NatureScot Commissioned Report 545: Spatial and structural habitat requirements of black grouse in Scottish forests (2013)
Report
White, P., Warren, P., & Baines, D. (2013). NatureScot Commissioned Report 545: Spatial and structural habitat requirements of black grouse in Scottish forests. Inverness: Scottish Natural Heritage

Background
Sympathetic management and placement of forests to provide/protect suitable habitat is a key focus of Scottish black grouse conservation. More information about how the species responds to forests’ spatial and structural variation is requ...
