Aim
To reassess the capacity of mangroves for ecosystem services in the light of recent data.

Location
Global mangrove ecosystems.

Methods
We review four long‐standing roles of mangroves: (1) carbon dynamics – export or sink; (2) nursery rol... Read More about Ecological role and services of tropical mangrove ecosystems: A reassessment..

Predator reduction with habitat management can improve songbird nest success: Predator Reduction and Songbird Nest Success (2014)
Journal Article
White, P. J. C., Stoate, C., Szczur, J., & Norris, K. (2014). Predator reduction with habitat management can improve songbird nest success: Predator Reduction and Songbird Nest Success. The journal of wildlife management, 78(3), 402-412. https://doi.org/10.1002/jwmg.687

Predation pressure on many threatened species, including European farmland songbirds, may have increased over recent decades. Predator reduction to protect declining bird populations is a controversial but potentially important tool for managers. Its...

A method for deriving time-variable avian re-nesting probability functions for use in seasonal productivity models (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
White, P. (2013, April). A method for deriving time-variable avian re-nesting probability functions for use in seasonal productivity models. Presented at BOU Annual Conference. From populations to policy impact: avian demography in a changing world

The demographic parameters productivity, survival and migration ultimately determine local avian population trends. Their measurement is essential in bird conservation, for diagnosing proximate causes of population declines and for testing responses...
