Biodiversity offsets: a cost-effective interim solution to seabird bycatch in fisheries? by Sean Pascoe, Chris Wilcox, C Josh Donlan

“…The concept has been suggested for environmental management in fisheries, particularly in relation to the substantial numbers of non-target species--seabirds in particular--caught and killed as incidental bycatch during fishing activities. …”

Climate influences fledgling sex ratio and sex-specific dispersal in a seabird. by Alvaro Barros, David Alvarez, Alberto Velando

“…These responses may be different in males and females, particularly in dimorphic species, due to sex-specific requirements or constraints. Here, in a coastal seabird, the European shag (Phalacrocorax aristotelis), we studied the influence of climate (North Atlantic Oscillation, NAO; Sea Surface Temperature, SST) on two sex-related population parameters: fledgling sex ratio and sex-specific dispersal. …”
