Global assessment of marine plastic exposure risk for oceanic birds
Clark, Bethany L.; Carneiro, Ana P. B.; Pearmain, Elizabeth J.; Rouyer, Marie-Morgane; Clay, Thomas A.; Cowger, Win; Phillips, Richard A; Manica, AndreaPlastic pollution is distributed patchily around the world's oceans. Likewise, marine organisms that are vulnerable to plastic ingestion or entanglement have uneven distributions. Understanding where wildlife encounters plastic is crucial for targeting research and mitigation. Oceanic seabirds, particularly petrels, frequently ingest plastic, are highly threatened, and cover vast distances during foraging and m...

Seabird migration strategies: Flight budgets, diel activity patterns, and lunar...
Bonnet-Lebrun, Anne-Sophie; Dias, Maria P.; Phillips, Richard; Granadeiro, José P.; Brooke, M. de L.; Chastel, Olivier; Clay, Thomas A.; Fayet, AnnetteEvery year, billions of birds undertake extensive migrations between breeding and nonbreeding areas, facing challenges that require behavioural adjustments, particularly to flight timing and duration. Such adjustments in daily activity patterns and the influence of extrinsic factors (e.g., environmental conditions, moonlight) have received much more research attention in terrestrial than marine migrants. Taking...
