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...

Global phenological insensitivity to shifting ocean temperatures among seabirds
Keogan, Katharine; Daunt, Francis; Wanless, Sarah; Phillips, Richard A.; Walling, Craig A.; Agnew, Philippa; Ainley, David G.; Anker-Nilssen, TychoReproductive timing in many taxa plays a key role in determining breeding productivity1, and is often sensitive to climatic conditions2. Current climate change may alter the timing of breeding at different rates across trophic levels, potentially resulting in temporal mismatch between the resource requirements of predators and their prey3. This is of particular concern for highertrophic- level organisms, whose ...
