Exploring the Use of Seabirds as a Dynamic Ocean Management Tool to Mitigate Anthropogenic Risk to Large Whales by Tammy L. Silva, Kevin D. Powers, Jooke Robbins, Regina Asmutis-Silvia, Timothy V. N. Cole, Alex N. Hill, Laura J. Howes, Laura J. Howes, Charles A. Mayo, Dianna Schulte, Michael A. Thompson, Linda J. Welch, Alexandre N. Zerbini, Alexandre N. Zerbini, David N. Wiley

“…Whale conservation would benefit from dynamic ocean management, but few tools exist to inform dynamic approaches. Seabirds are often found in association with whales and can be tagged at lower cost and in higher numbers than whales. …”

Tracking through life stages: adult, immature and juvenile autumn migration in a long-lived seabird. by Clara Péron, David Grémillet

“…We provide the first analysis of late summer movements and autumn migration in these three life stages, which were tracked concurrently using satellite tags, geolocators or GPS recorders in a long-ranging migratory seabird, the Scopoli's shearwater (formerly named Cory's shearwater, Calonectrisdiomedea) breeding on two French Mediterranean islands. …”

A bird's eye view of discard reforms: bird-borne cameras reveal seabird/fishery interactions. by Stephen C Votier, Anthony Bicknell, Samantha L Cox, Kylie L Scales, Samantha C Patrick

“…Here we use bird-borne cameras, in tandem with GPS loggers, to provide a unique view of seabird/fishery interactions. 20,643 digital images (one min(-1)) from ten bird-borne cameras deployed on central place northern gannets Morus bassanus revealed that all birds photographed fishing vessels. …”

Consistent offshore artificial light at night near the last breeding colony of a critically endangered seabird by Johannes H. Fischer, Igor Debski, Graeme A. Taylor, Heiko U. Wittmer

“…Abstract Artificial light at night (ALAN) is considered a major threat to biodiversity, yet impacts of offshore ALAN on seabirds remain poorly understood. Particularly understudied are deck strikes (collisions of seabirds with vessels due to ALAN‐induced disorientation). …”
