| successful eradication of the european rabbit (oryctolagus cuniculus) and house mouse (mus musculus) from the island of selvagem grande (macaronesian archipelago), in the eastern atlantic. | the portuguese island of selvagem grande (great salvage) in macaronesia is an important seabird breeding station in the eastern atlantic. significant populations of cory's shearwater calonectris diomedea (scopoli, 1769), bulwer's petrel bulweria bulweria (jardine & selby, 1828) and little shearwater puffinus assimilis baroli (bonaparte, 1857) are present, and white-faced storm-petrel pelagodroma marina (latham, 1790) and madeiran storm-petrel oceanodroma castro (harcourt, 1851) populations are o ... | 2010 | 21392324 |
| permanent genetic resources added to molecular ecology resources database 1 february 2012 - 31 march 2012. | this article documents the addition of 171 microsatellite marker loci and 27 pairs of single nucleotide polymorphism (snp) sequencing primers to the molecular ecology resources database. loci were developed for the following species: bombus pauloensis, cephalorhynchus heavisidii, cercospora sojina, harpyhaliaetus coronatus, hordeum vulgare, lachnolaimus maximus, oceanodroma monteiroi, puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, rhea americana, salmo salar, salmo trutta, schistocephalus solidus, sousa p ... | 2012 | 22642264 |
| population-scale foraging segregation in an apex predator of the north atlantic. | in this work we investigated the between-colony spatial, behavioural and trophic segregation of two sub-populations of the elusive macaronesian shearwaters puffinus baroli breeding only ~340 km apart in cima islet (porto santo island) and selvagem grande island. global location sensing (gls) loggers were used in combination with the trophic ecology of tracked individuals, inferred from the isotopic signatures of wing feathers. results suggest that these two macaronesian shearwater sub-population ... | 2016 | 27003687 |
