Global assessment of marine plastic exposure risk for oceanic birds.

Arthropod Predation of Vertebrates Structures Trophic Dynamics in Island Ecosystems.

AbstractOn isolated islands, large arthropods can play an important functional role in ecosystem dynamics. On the Norfolk Islands group, South Pacific, we monitored the diet and foraging activity of an endemic chilopod, the Phillip Island centipede (), and used a stable isotope mixing model to estimate dietary proportions. Phillip Island centipede diet is represented by vertebrate animals (48%) and invertebrates (52%), with 30.
