| persistent organic pollutants in forage fish prey of rhinoceros auklets breeding in puget sound and the northern california current. | organochlorine contaminants in upper trophic-level consumers inhabiting puget sound are consistently higher than in those species inhabiting other west coast locations. we analyzed persistent organic pollutants (pops) in the six most common fish prey of rhinoceros auklets breeding on protection island (puget sound), tatoosh island (wa coast), and destruction island (wa coast). wet-weight concentrations of pops ranged widely (pcbs: 1.6-25.0 ng/g; ddts: 0.2-56.0 ng/g; pbdes:<loq-49.0 ng/g), but ov ... | 2014 | 25103902 |
| using seabird habitat modeling to inform marine spatial planning in central california's national marine sanctuaries. | understanding seabird habitat preferences is critical to future wildlife conservation and threat mitigation in california. the objective of this study was to investigate drivers of seabird habitat selection within the gulf of the farallones and cordell bank national marine sanctuaries to identify areas for targeted conservation planning. we used seabird abundance data collected by the applied california current ecosystem studies program (access) from 2004-2011. we used zero-inflated negative bin ... | 2013 | 23967206 |
