Overabundant ungulate populations can alter forests. Concurrently, global declines of seed dispersers may threaten native forest structure and function. On an island largely devoid of native vertebrate seed dispersers, we monitored forest succession

Summary 1. For most ecologists, detection probability (p) is a nuisance variable that must be modelled to estimate the state variable of interest (i.e. survival, abundance, or occupancy). However, in the realm of invasive species control, the rate of

Summary 1 Open population mark–recapture analysis of unbounded populations accommodates some types of closure violations (e.g. emigration, immigration). In contrast, closed population analysis of such populations readily allows estimation of captur

It is plausible that introduced species in the beginning of an invasion would be subjected to selection pressure to disperse rapidly so as to access unexploited habitats, but be subjected to selection pressure for more sedentary behavior once the ava

Eight anuran species were recorded for the first time in Guam in the period May 2003–December 2005, all apparently the result of arrivals to the island since 2000. Three of the eight species (Rana guentheri, Polypedates megacephalus, and Eleutherod

Since 1937, thirteen species of non-indigenous anurans have made their way to Guam. Of these, at least six have established breeding populations. Various pathways led to the introduction of these species to the island. The only anuran intentionally i

The accidental introduction of the brown treesnake (BTS; Boiga irregularis) to the island of Guam after World War II set off a chain of bird, bat, and lizard extirpations. Fortunately, many of the eliminated species have the potential to be restored

Although problems such as inaccurate coverage, lack of professionalism and maturity arise when scientists deal with the media, the media do increase the public profile of projects, help attain funding and inform the public of legislative processes. O

The Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) System was trialed to determine its usefulness as a perm anent marking system for Litoria aurea. Six Limnodvnastes peronii were injected with PIT tags and monitored prior to using this identification method in
