Abstract: Photo 1. Motion- and infrared-triggered camera traps baited with Pacific herring carcasses were used to document sandy beach scavenging dynamics. Photo credit: Francis Gerraty. Photo 2. Scavenging rates were suppressed on beaches with more domestic dog activity, suggesting that dogs interfere with critical scavenging ecosystem functions. Photo credit: Jenna Contuchio. These photographs illustrate the article, “Urbanization alters sandy beach scavenging assemblages and dogs suppress ecosystem function” by Francis D.
