Oceanographic gradients explain changes in the biological traits of nesting seabird assemblages across the south-eastern Pacific by Joao B. Gusmao, Joao B. Gusmao, Guillermo Luna-Jorquera, Guillermo Luna-Jorquera, Marcelo M. Rivadeneira, Marcelo M. Rivadeneira, Marcelo M. Rivadeneira

“…Seabirds are top predators in coastal and pelagic ecosystems that forage at sea but return to land regularly during the breeding season (i.e., central place foragers). …”

Can oceanic prey effects on growth and time to fledging mediate terrestrial predator limitation of an at‐risk seabird? by Timothy W. Knudson, James R. Lovvorn, M. James Lawonn, Robin M. Corcoran, Daniel D. Roby, John F. Piatt, William H. Pyle

“…Abstract Most seabird species nest colonially on cliffs or islands with limited terrestrial predation, so that oceanic effects on the quality or quantity of prey fed to chicks more often determine nest success. …”

Breeding phenology and winter activity predict subsequent breeding success in a trans-global migratory seabird by Shoji, A, Aris-Brosou, S, Culina, A, Guilford, T, al., E

“…To address this question, we measured at-sea behaviour in a long-lived migratory seabird, the Manx shearwater (Puffinus puffinus) and obtained data for individual migration cycles over 5 years, by tracking with geolocator/immersion loggers, along with 6 years of RP data. …”

Local prey shortages drive foraging costs and breeding success in a declining seabird, the Atlantic puffin by Fayet, A, Clucas, G, Anker-Nilssen, T, Syposz, M, Hansen, E

“…Here we use a single year but multi‐population approach on populations with contrasting demographic trends to identify possible drivers and mechanisms of seabird population changes in the north‐east Atlantic, using the Atlantic puffin, a declining species, as a model system. …”

Predicting animal behaviour using deep learning: GPS data alone accurately predict diving in seabirds by Browning, E, Bolton, M, Owen, E, Shoji, A, Guilford, T, Freeman, R

“…For example, globally, seabird populations are under threat and animal movement data can identify key at‐sea areas and provide valuable information on the state of marine ecosystems. …”

Optimization of dynamic soaring in a flap-gliding seabird impacts its large-scale distribution at sea by Kempton, J, Wynn, J, Bond, S, Evry, J, Fayet, A, Gillies, N, Guilford, T, Kavelaars, M, Juarez-Martinez, I, Padget, O, Rutz, C, Shoji, A, Syposz, M, Taylor, G

“…However, its use is challenging to demonstrate empirically, and has yet to be confirmed in other seabirds. Here we investigate how flap-gliding Manx Shearwaters optimize their flight for dynamic soaring. …”

Olfaction and topography, but not magnetic cues, control navigation in a pelagic seabird: displacements with shearwaters in the Mediterranean Sea by Pollonara, E, Luschi, P, Guilford, T, Wikelski, M, Bonadonna, F, Gagliardo, A

“…Pelagic seabirds wander the open oceans then return accurately to their habitual nest-sites. …”

Machine Learning approaches to understanding the migratory behaviour of a small seabird, the Manx Shearwater (Puffinus puffinus) by Freeman, R, Dean, B, Kirk, H, Phillips, R, Roberts, S, Perrins, C, Guilford, T

Marked differences in foraging area use and susceptibility to predation between two closely-related tropical seabirds by Fayet, AL, Sanchez, C, Appoo, J, Turnbull, L

“…Here, we track the foraging movements of two closely-related sympatric seabirds&mdash;the white-tailed and red-tailed tropicbirds&nbsp;<em>Phaethon lepturus</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>P. rubricauda</em>&mdash;breeding on Aldabra Atoll, Seychelles, to investigate potential mechanisms of niche segregation and shed light on their contrasting population trends. …”

Multi-modal survey of Adélie penguin mega-colonies reveals the Danger Islands as a seabird hotspot by Borowicz, A, McDowall, P, Youngflesh, C, Sayre-McCord, T, Clucas, G, Herman, R, Forrest, S, Rider, M, Schwaller, M, Hart, T, Jenouvrier, S, Polito, M, Singh, H, Lynch, H
