Abstract:
This project aims to find out more about the at-sea behaviour of loggerhead sea turtles following nesting on the beaches of Bald Head Island, North Carolina. We deployed 4 satellite transmitters or Platform Terminal Transmitters (PTT?s) on loggerhead sea turtles in July 2003. This has allowed us to track the long distance movements of these turtles and has given insights into migratory and foraging behaviour.

Instituto del Mar del Perú (IMARPE)

Abstract:
Thirty-eight sightings of sperm whales (&lt;i&gt;Physeter macrocephalus&lt;/i&gt;) were recorded off Peru (3 degrees S - 18 degrees S) during 21 surveys conducted aboard platforms of opportunity between 1995 and 2002, with a search effort of 33,406.6 nautical miles of observation. Two main areas of concentration were detected: northern Peru (19 sightings) and southern Peru (16 sightings), but seasonality could not be confirmed. Almost 58% of sightings occurred during the same or consecutive days. Group size ranged from 1 to 18 individuals, with a mean of 3.5 individuals (SD = 3.9). The modal group size was one, with single whales accounting for 36.8% of sightings. Groups of three or more individuals accounted for 39.5%. An important increase of sightings occurred between 2001 and 2002, accounting 68% of the records, suggesting migratory movements towards Peruvian waters from other regions of the eastern Pacific Ocean.
Positive correlations between indices of relative abundance and the anomaly of sea surface temperature were found, although warm events as El Niño appear to increase the uncertainty in sighting rates, reducing correlation values. Positive relationship between indices of relative abundance and fishery's CPUE of &lt;i&gt;Dosidicus gigas&lt;/i&gt; suggest some grade of interaction, although the question about the role of &lt;i&gt;D. gigas&lt;/i&gt; in the diet of sperm whales in the area must be solved for further conclusions. It is priority to perform specific surveys for population estimation, as well as non-lethal research about feeding and the effect of the fishery competition over sperm whales.

Abstract:
More data on marine turtle abundance, distribution, nesting success, mortality, and movement throughout the Republic of Palau must be gathered to better ensure the survival and restoration of healthy turtle populations. The Palau Marine Turtle Conservation and Monitoring Program’s goal is to continue to assess, publicize, and improve the current status of the critically endangered hawksbill turtle, Eretmochelys imbricata, as well as the threatened green turtle, Chelonia mydas. The nation-wide turtle program, initiated in September of 2004, has established a national management program that includes nesting beach monitoring, flipper tagging, satellite transmitter tracking, and foraging surveys. This program is the catalyst for collaborative efforts with local, regional, and international partners to improve turtle management in Palau.

Abstract:
Fisher was found in a nest on Fort Fisher beach in 1995 and transported to the Fort Fisher Aquarium in North Carolina USA. By January 2003, Fisher had reached 90 pounds and measured over 2 feet in length. Outgrowing his Fort Fisher home, the now sub-adult loggerhead was loaned to the Newport Aquarium in Kentucky, USA, to be featured in Turtles: Journey of Survival. When the turtle exhibit ended in spring of this year, Newport staff realized that it was time to say goodbye to Fisher and return him to the wild. Now a formidable 150 pounds, Fisher would be of great value to the wild populations of sea turtles. This is Fishers first ever exposure to the wild and it will be fascinating to see what happens!

Abstract:
Wandering albatross fly enormous distances but only with the assistance of the wind. Typically they reach or run with the wind on the longest fastest flights. However, they can also fly at almost all angles to the wind. Presumably the bird must make a greater effort and or the flight ground speed is slower.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In the 1990s, MD Murray and DG Nicholls explored many of these relationships. New satellite with sensors directly measuring wind speed and direction will allow increased precision in studies of the relationship between bird flight and the wind.

Abstract:
This project aims to find out more about the post nesting migratory movements of loggerhead sea turtles from Bald Head Island. Four nesting females were tracked in 2003 and made impressive movements north, using waters as far away as New Jersey. Two of the transmitters are still transmitting. The transmitters provided us with some very useful and interesting novel information about the migratory and foraging behaviour and natural history of the loggerhead sea turtle in North Carolina. This summer's deployments will complement last seasons results and provide us with a wider insight into North Carolina sea turtle biology.

title: Data from: Leveraging the full potential of Landsat to investigate inequalities in post-development residential canopy cover (1972-2020)

description: Paper Abstract:

Residential tree canopy cover (CC), which benefits local inhabitants and is managed by municipalities, changes as neighbourhoods develop and is connected to demographics. We investigate residential CC and related inequalities across suburbanizing municipalities since 1972 using Landsat’s temporal depth. In the Region of Peel, Ontario, Canada, we built a 49-year (1972-2020) 30 m residential CC time-series by identifying when current neighbourhoods transitioned from pre-development. We observe residential CC at the population-weighted municipal and dissemination area level and compare with census data (collected 9 times between 1971-2016) to quantify changing CC inequalities along built-form, economic, and racial gradients. Municipal residential CC has remained relatively stable since suburbanization, with new developments offset by CC growth in aging neighbourhoods. Post-development, municipalities have gained residential CC at similar rates but from different starting positions based on pre-development forest cover. Different populations have lacked equal access to residential CC, with higher values related to lower population density and visible minority percentages. Inequalities, especially along racial and population density gradients, have strengthened and shifted along with demographic change. We are the first to utilize long-term Landsat time-series for this purpose, with important implications for urban forest management due to the unmatched spatial-temporal coverage of this archive.
