| prevalences of zoonotic bacteria among seabirds in rehabilitation centers along the pacific coast of california and washington, usa. | many seabirds are rehabilitated annually by wildlife rehabilitation centers along the pacific coast, usa. although various strains of zoonotic bacteria have been isolated from seabirds, risks to rehabilitators at these centers have not been well documented. from november 2001 through january 2003, we determined the prevalence of detectable enteric fauna by isolation and characterization of gram-negative bacteria from cloacal swabs taken from 26 common murres (uria aalge), 49 gulls (larus spp.), ... | 2005 | 16456162 |
| description of novel babesia species and associated lesions from common murres (uria aalge) from california. | a novel babesia species is described from blood collected from 3 common murres (also known as common guillemots) (uria aalge) from california. this is the first report of a babesia species from the alcidae and the second from the charadriiformes. babesia uriae n. sp. is morphologically similar to several other avian babesia species but can be differentiated from babesia bennetti, the only other species from a host in the charadriiformes, by size of round and amoeboid forms. phylogenetic analysis ... | 2009 | 19348514 |

| 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 |
| entanglements of marine mammals and seabirds in central california and the north-west coast of the united states 2001-2005. | entanglement records for seabirds and marine mammals were investigated for the period 2001-2005. the entanglement records were extracted from databases maintained by seven organizations operating along the west coast of the united states of america. their programmes included beach monitoring surveys, rescue and rehabilitation and regional pinniped censuses. records of 454 entanglements were documented in live animals and in carcasses for 31 bird species and nine marine mammal species. the most f ... | 2009 | 19344921 |
| mortality during treatment: factors affecting the survival of oiled, rehabilitated common murres (uria aalge). | after major oil spills, hundreds to thousands of live stranded birds enter rehabilitative care. to target aspects of rehabilitative efforts for improvement and to evaluate which initial physical examination and biomedical parameters most effectively predict survival to release, medical records were examined from 913 common murres ( uria aalge ; comus) oiled during the november 2001-january 2003 oil spill associated with the sunken s.s. jacob luckenbach off san francisco, california, us. results ... | 2016 | 27187030 |
