Time‐averaging and fidelity of modern death assemblages: building a taphonomic foundation for conservation palaeobiology
SM Kidwell - Palaeontology, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Ecosystems today are under growing pressure, with human domination at many scales. It is
difficult, however, to gauge what has changed or been lost–and why–in the absence of data …

Modelling the spatial distribution of cetaceans in New Zealand waters
Aim Cetaceans are inherently difficult to study due to their elusive, pelagic and often highly
migratory nature. New Zealand waters are home to 50% of the world's cetacean species, but …
