Combining survey and remotely sensed environmental data to estimate the habitat...
Stokes, Allan W.; Catry, Paulo; Matthiopoulos, Jason; Boldenow, Megan; Clark, T. J.; Guest, Amy; Marengo, Ilaria; Wakefield, EwanSmall petrels are the most abundant seabirds in the Southern Ocean. However, because they breed in burrows on remote and often densely vegetated islands, their colony sizes and conservation status remain poorly known. To estimate the abundance of these species on Bird Island in the Falkland archipelago, we systematically surveyed their breeding burrow density and occupancy across this near-pristine tussac (Poa ...
Changes and consistencies in marine and coastal bird numbers on Kidney Island (...
Catry, Paulo X; Clark, T. J.; Crofts, Sarah; Stanworth, Andrew J.; Wakefield, EwanDetecting change is necessary for effective ecosystem management, yet temporal data on key ecosystem components are lacking for many polar and subpolar regions. For example, although the Falkland Islands hosts internationally important marine and coastal bird populations, few of these were surveyed until the late twentieth century. The avifauna of one small island, Kidney Island, was surveyed between 1958 and 1...
