Advances in Scale Assessment of Seabird Bycatch: A New Methodological Framework by Dominik Marchowski

“…The findings highlight the need for effective management and conservation measures to address the high mortality of seabirds due to bycatch. The methodology presented in this study offers a valuable approach for estimating bycatch scale and can support efforts to minimize the impact on seabird populations.…”

Flexible foraging strategies in a diving seabird with high flight cost by Shoji, A, Owen, E, Bolton, M, Dean, B, Kirk, H, Fayet, A, Boyle, D, Freeman, R, Perrins, C, Aris-Brosou, S, Guilford, T

An assay to investigate factors influencing initial orientation in nocturnally fledging seabirds by Syposz, M, Padget, O, Wynn, J, Gillies, N, Fayet, AL, Guilford, T

“…Here, we developed an assay to measure initial orientation as flight direction upon first take‐off in nocturnally fledging juvenile seabirds. We dorsally deployed a coloured LED on juvenile birds to allow researchers to observe the vanishing bearings of individuals as they flew out to sea. …”

Estimating the impact of marine threats to seabird recovery after predator eradication by Borrelle, S, Jones, H, Richard, Y, Salguero-Gomez, R

“…Predator eradication at seabird breeding sites has become a key strategy for the long-term conservation and viability of seabird populations. …”

Multispecies tracking reveals a major seabird hotspot in the North Atlantic by Davies, T, Carneiro, A, Tarzia, M, Fayet, A, Guilford, T, Dias, M

“…The conservation of migratory marine species, including pelagic seabirds, is challenging because their movements span vast distances frequently beyond national jurisdictions. …”

Avoidance of different durations, colours and intensities of artificial light by adult seabirds by Syposz, M, Padget, O, Willis, J, Van Doren, BM, Gillies, N, Fayet, AL, Wood, MJ, Alejo, A, Guilford, TC

“…Nocturnally active Procellariiform seabirds are often found grounded in areas polluted by light and struggle to take to the air again without human intervention. …”

A probabilistic time geographic approach to quantifying seabird‐vessel interactions by Rutter, JD, Borrelle, SB, Bose, S, Carneiro, AP, Clark, BL, Debski, I, Elliott, G, Fischer, JH, Walker, K, Pittman, SJ

“…Accounting for uncertainty is essential for precautionary approaches to managing seabird bycatch in commercial fisheries. However, there is no existing mechanism to explicitly quantify the uncertainty of seabird‐vessel interactions (i.e. co‐occurrence in space and time). …”

Positive Interactions among Foraging Seabirds, Marine Mammals and Fishes and Implications for Their Conservation by Richard R. Veit, Nancy M. Harrison

“…There are subtly different uses of each of these terms, but the issue we address here is the ubiquity of positive interactions between seabirds and other marine predators when foraging at sea, and whether as a result of their associations the feeding success, and therefore presumably the fitness, of individual seabirds is increased. …”

Concerted evolution of duplicated mitochondrial control regions in three related seabird species by Birt Tim P, Taylor Scott A, Morris-Pocock James A, Friesen Vicki L

“…</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>Both the structure of the duplicated region and the conflicting phylogenetic signals are remarkably similar to a pattern found in <it>Thalassarche </it>albatrosses, which are united with boobies in a large clade that includes all procellariiform and most pelecaniform seabirds. Therefore we suggest that concerted evolution of duplicated control regions either is taxonomically widespread within seabirds, or that it has evolved many times.…”
