This is where the paint is prepared—in this case, each shade is mixed precisely rather than being applied as sold—to a dry watercolor paper base. To facilitate a more natural color gradient, the area where the paint is being applied may be dampened beforehand, and >1 color preparation may be applied to enhance the depth of perspective. As most watercolors are transparent in nature, this process may be repeatedly applied to achieve the desired appearance.About the art: This piece was originally the second of 2 that were painted—the first being a similar subject in the same medium done several years before this painting. The art shown here was initially intended by the author to reflect her progress as an illustrator—a testament to the result of consistent practice and perseverance.Sources of FundingNone.DisclosuresThis is original artwork created by the author that has not been published—partially or entirely—elsewhere. The author has no conflicts of interest to disclose.AcknowledgmentsFor mum and dad, who have always encouraged my love of art, even when I saw no real potential in it.Footnotes*Correspondence to: Ameerah Gardee, College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences, University of Glasgow, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK.

Wave-Emplaced Coarse Debris and Megaclasts in Ireland and Scotland: Boulder Transport in a High-Energy Littoral Environment: A Discussion

Scheffers et al. (2009) describe a reconnaissance survey of boulder accumulations along parts of the Atlantic coasts of the British Isles. A substantial part of their report concerns the characteristics of wave-transported boulder deposits found high above sea level on cliffs. These boulder deposits reach perhaps their ultimate development along the coasts of the Aran Islands, Galway Bay, western Ireland, and Eshaness, Shetland, northern Scotland, where evidence of wave action reaches elevations of 50 m above sea level (a.s.l.). We have previously investigated in detail these and numerous other similar localities and concluded that the boulder deposits are cliff-top storm deposits (CTSDs), part of an assemblage of features found on certain cliffs on these very high-energy coasts that relate to the impacts of extreme waves during major storms (Williams and Hall 2004; Hall et al. 2006, 2008; Hansom et al. 2008; Hansom and Hall 2009). However, Scheffers et al. (2009, p. 571) claim that at these and other sites “no evidence ... exists for storm wave dislocation of ... boulders found at altitudes of 120 m a.s.l.” Indeed, “no calculations of possible storm wave heights, storm wave physics, or ages of the deposits and no descriptions of extraordinary storms are sufficient to explain these displacements” (p. 568), and “alternative explanations, such as tsunamis, should be considered” (p. 571). Here we rebut these claims by briefly restat-

Studying fatty acid signatures (FAS), which reflect changes in the composition of the diet, has several advantages over traditional methods. In the context of the Mediterranean marine ecosystem, we studied tissue FAS in captive-fed and wild seabirds. Yellow-legged gulls Larus michahellis were experimentally fed either pelagic (sardine Sardina pilchardus) or demersal (spotted flounder Citharus linguatula) fish for 8 wk, and FAS in the birds’ plasma and adipose tissue were studied. The FAS developed patterns characteristic of the sardine or flounder diet, showing the reliability of both types of samples. In addition, plasma samples of 20 endangered wild Balearic shearwaters Puffinus mauretanicus and their most likely prey items from the Mediterranean Sea were collected and analyzed for FAS. Based on FAS of Mediterranean fish, and the results from the feeding experiment, the diet of the endangered wild shearwaters was estimated. In terms of the composition of polyunsaturated fatty acids, the plasma FAS of the shearwaters resembled those of the captive gulls kept on a sardine diet, suggesting that pelagic feeding resources dominate shearwater diet. However, the high level of 20:1n-11, likely metabolized from 22:1n-11 by the birds themselves, suggested that the diet also contained a demersal component rich in 22:1n-11. Contrary to the situation in the open oceans, the levels of the C20 and C22 monounsaturated fatty acids are low in the Mediterranean food web and characteristic of most demersal species. Our results support the findings of previous field studies that the diet of the shearwaters is frequently supplemented by demersal fish from fishery discards.

Longline fishing fleets in the region currently pose the main threat for this group of seabirds at sea, and conservation measures are urgently required. We present information on bycatch rates of seabirds in the Brazilian domestic pelagic longline fishery from 2001 to 2007, and review bycatch rates reported for the demersal and pelagic longline fisheries in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean. Overall seabird capture rate for the Brazilian pelagic longline fleet during 63 cruises (656 sets and 788446 hooks) was 0.229 birds per 1000 hooks, varying from 0 to 0.542 according to season. Capture rates were higher between June and November (cold season) and affected mainly the black-browed albatross Thalassarche melanophris (55% of birds captured), the white-chinned petrel Procellaria aequinoctialis, the spectacled petrel Procellaria conspicillata and the Atlantic yellow-nosed albatross Thalassarche chlororhynchos. Capture rates previously reported in the SW Atlantic varied from 0 to 5.03 birds per 1000 hooks, with those reports based on logbooks or fishermen interviews tending to underestimate capture rates, whereas those based on small numbers of hooks or short time periods tend to greatly overestimate rates in both pelagic and demersal longline fisheries. Previous studies have played an important role in delimiting the seabird bycatch problem, forming a baseline for mitigation actions and serving as a guide for improvements in data collection. However, data collected by onboard seabird-dedicated observers are more reliable, provide a greater range of information relating to bycatch, and form a baseline for more robust analysis and addressing further questions. The current study highlights the stochastic nature of seabird fatalities in longline fisheries and the need for extensive sampling to obtain realistic estimates of capture rates covering different years, seasons, vessels, and the range of fishing gear and practices.

Seabirds suffered widespread breeding failures in the North Sea in 2004, due to shortages of sandeels, their principal food. Industrial sandeel fisheries also failed in 2003 to 2005. Explaining why sandeels were in short supply is thus critical to understanding and managing the North Sea ecosystem. Sandeel abundance may be controlled ‘bottom-up’ by food availability or ‘top-down’ by predation, including fisheries. The relative importance of these 2 mechanisms may vary over space and time, and failure to take account of such variation may lead to inappropriate management. We summarise the available evidence for top-down or bottom-up control of sandeel abundance in 2 well-studied North Sea regions differing in many biotic and abiotic characteristics. In Shetland, recent low abundance of sandeels coincided with record-high abundance of herring, which may have exerted a top-down predation pressure on sandeels. Off SE Scotland, where adult herrings are scarce, abundance of sandeel larvae was positively correlated with plankton abundance, indicating bottom-up control. Seabird breeding failures in this area in 2004 were linked to extremely low energy content of sandeels. Large-scale sandeel fisheries have not been operating in either area since 2000. Control of food web structure and function in the North Sea is thus likely to be complex, with pronounced regional variation. Improved cooperation between diverse research organisations will be needed to understand this complexity, and future ecosystem-based management of marine bioresources will need to take the results of such research into account.
