Extreme weather events influence dispersal of naive northern fur seals.
Since 1975, northern fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus) numbers at the Pribilof Islands (PI) in the Bering Sea have declined rapidly for unknown reasons. Migratory dispersal and habitat choice may affect first-year survivorship, thereby contributing to this decline. We compared migratory behaviour of 166 naive pups during 2 years from islands with disparate population trends (increasing: Bogoslof a...
متن کاملEvidence That Marine Reserves Enhance Resilience to Climatic Impacts
Establishment of marine protected areas, including fully protected marine reserves, is one of the few management tools available for local communities to combat the deleterious effect of large scale environmental impacts, including global climate change, on ocean ecosystems. Despite the common hope that reserves play this role, empirical evidence of the effectiveness of local protection against...
متن کاملCommuter Cyclist’s Sensitivity to Changes in Weather: Insight from Two Cities with Different Climatic Conditions
This study examines the relationship between various weather conditions and commuter bicyclist volume in two cities (Portland, USA and Brisbane, Australia), which fall into different climatic zones. Investigating the variation in day-to-day bicycle ridership can help to understand factors influencing demand and in particular how base climatic conditions may condition bicyclist’s responsiveness ...
متن کاملNo evidence that migratory geese disperse avian influenza viruses from breeding to wintering ground
Low pathogenic avian influenza virus can mutate to a highly pathogenic strain that causes severe clinical signs in birds and humans. Migratory waterfowl, especially ducks, are considered the main hosts of low pathogenic avian influenza virus, but the role of geese in dispersing the virus over long-distances is still unclear. We collected throat and cloaca samples from three goose species, Bean ...
متن کاملData Mining Techniques for Modeling the Influence of Weather Conditions
Influences of daily weather extremes, such as maximum/ minimum temperatures, humidity, and precipitation, are observable in perennial crop phonology that in turn determines the annual crop yield in quality and quantity. In viticulture, grapevine phonology determines the quality of vintage produced from the grapes apart from the best effects by winemaker. Following a brief review of current lite...
