Abstract Knowledge about how many fish that have been killed due to bycatch is an important aspect of ensuring a sustainable ecosystem and fishery. We introduce a Bayesian spatio-temporal prediction method for historical bycatch that incorporates two sources of availabl...

Feral pigeons (Columba livia, Gmelin 1789) cause different problems for building owners when using structures for daytime perching, sleeping, and breeding. Problems include fouling of building facades and pavements, transmission of allergens and pathogenic microorganism...

Abstract Habitat suitability models are useful to estimate the potential distribution of a species of interest, particularly in the case of infaunal bivalves. Sampling for these bivalves is time- and cost-intensive, which is increasingly difficult for organizations or a...

<jats:p>Past theoretical models suggest fishing disease-impacted stocks can reduce parasite transmission, but this is a good management strategy only when the exploitation required to reduce transmission does not overfish the stock. We applied this concept to a red abal...
