Variation in Population Synchrony in a Multi-Species Seabird Community: Response to Changes in Predator Abundance. by Gail S Robertson, Mark Bolton, Paul Morrison, Pat Monaghan

“…Examining synchrony in multi-species assemblages improves our understanding of how whole communities react to long-term changes in the environment and suggests that changes in predator abundance may differentially affect populations of sympatric seabird species.…”

Influence of Seasonal Food Availability on the Dynamics of Seabird Feeding Flocks at a Coastal Upwelling Area. by Cristóbal Anguita, Alejandro Simeone

“…The formation of multi-species feeding flocks (MSFFs) through visual recruitment is considered an important strategy for obtaining food in seabirds and its functionality has been ascribed to enhanced foraging efficiency. …”

Using seabird and whale distribution models to estimate spatial consumption of krill to inform fishery management by V. Warwick‐Evans, N. Kelly, L. Dalla Rosa, A. Friedlaender, J. T. Hinke, J. H. Kim, N. Kokubun, J. A. Santora, E. R. Secchi, E. Seyboth, P. N. Trathan

“…We update current knowledge of predator dependence on krill by integrating telemetry‐based data, at‐sea observational surveys, estimates of predator abundance, and physiological data to estimate the spatial distribution of krill consumption during the austral summer by three species of Pygoscelis penguin, 11 species of flying seabirds, one species of pinniped, and two species of baleen whale. …”

Hookpod-mini: a smaller potential solution to mitigate seabird bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries by Goad, D, Debski, I, Potts, J

“…Hookpods are an emerging technology designed to reduce seabird bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries. Hookpod-minis were trialled in the New Zealand surface longline fishery in 2016-2017 during short-term experimental (20 longline sets) and longer-term operational (110 longline sets) trials. …”

Results of testing three types of streamer lines for reduction of seabird bycatch in demersal longline fishery by Yury B. Artukhin, Andrey V. Vinnikov, Dmitry A. Terentiev

“…In total, 223 control longlines with 2 million hooks were set up. The seabird bycatch and frequency of the bird attacks to the bait did not differ significantly between the new models of streamers and the American model, and considerable distinctions in their running abilities were not found, as well, so the streamer lines of easy accessible and cheap materials, able for assembling directly aboard fishing vessels, could be recommended for Russian fishermen for reducing their maintenance charges. …”

A geostatistical method in GIS to estimate the amount of seabird guano accumulated on islands and headlands of Perú by Ángela Sifuentes-García, Carlos B. Zavalaga, Sebastián Lozano-Sanllehi

“…As part of its management and commercialization plans, AGRORURAL estimates the total quantity of guano built-up on the seabird colonies using a volumetric method. The objective of this research was to propose an alternative geostatistical method that uses the volumetric data collection as baseline but incorporates the slope of the terrain and makes estimations of the total amount and distribution of guano using an interpolation grid model in a Geographic Information System (GIS). …”
