Abstract Climate change has exacerbated the occurrence of large‐scale sea surface temperature anomalies, or marine heatwaves (MHWs)—extreme phenomena often associated with mass mortality events organisms. Using a combination citizen science and federal data sets, we investigated causal mechanisms 2014/2015 die‐off Cassin's Auklets ( Ptychoramphus aleuticus ), small zooplanktivorous seabird, during NE Pacific MHW 2013–2015. Carcass deposition followed an effective reduction in energy content...
Shoreline surveys are a common approach for documenting loads of marine macrodebris (≥ 2.5 cm) loads.When conducted repeatedly over time and space, patterns in source, abundance, geographic distribution, composition can be detected.Yet to realize their full potential, monitoring programs that rely on must grapple with high variability debris appropriately manage uncertainty when reporting estimates quantity.A potentially important source bias estimating from shoreline datasets is detection...
Citizen science, defined here as the voluntary participation of public in scientific research, has been proposed a method increasing diversity science. However, it is unknown whether citizen science participants are truly more diverse than traditional (i.e., academically trained) scientists. In this paper, we conducted meta-analysis participant demographics (for gender, race/ethnicity, retiree participation, age, and education) across English language peer-reviewed literature Web Science...
Mass mortality events (MMEs) of seabirds are becoming more frequent as the global climate warms. Often documented via beached bird surveys, methods for estimating event-wide needed that can accommodate regional differences in carcass deposition and data quality/quantity. We develop a framework from counts, extending existing approaches through novel application ocean circulation modeling to assess beaching likelihood. applied our 2014/15 Cassin’s auklet ( Ptychoramphus aleuticus) MME, which...
