The BirdLife Seabird Tracking Database: 20 years of collaboration for marine co...
Carneiro, Ana P.B.; Dias, Maria P.; Clark, Bethany L.; Pearmain, Elizabeth J.; Handley, Jonathan; Hodgson, Amy R.; Croxall, John P.The BirdLife Seabird Tracking Database (STDB) was established in 2004 to collate tracking data to address the incidental mortality of seabirds in fisheries and to contribute to identification of sites at sea relevant to establishment of Marine Protected Areas. After 20 years, the STDB has grown to hold ca. 39 million locations for 168 species from >450 breeding sites. The STDB has become a powerful tool to supp...
Multispecies tracking reveals a major seabird hotspot in the North Atlantic
Davies, Tammy E.; Carneiro, Ana P.B.; Tarzia, Marguerite; Wakefield, Ewan; Hennicke, Janos C.; Frederiksen, Morten; Hansen, Erpur Snær; Campos, BrunaThe conservation ofmigratory marine species, including pelagic seabirds, is challenging because theirmovements span vast distances frequently beyond national jurisdictions. Here, we aim to identify important aggregations of seabirds in the North Atlantic to inform ongoing regional conservation efforts. Using tracking, phenology, and population data, we mapped the abundance and diversity of 21 seabird species. T...

A framework for mapping the distribution of seabirds by integrating tracking, d...
Carneiro, Ana Paula B.; Pearmain, Elizabeth J.; Oppel, Steffen; Clay, Thomas A.; Phillips, Richard A.; Bonnet‐Lebrun, Anne‐Sophie; Wanless, Ross M.1. The identification of geographic areas where the densities of animals are highest across their annual cycles is a crucial step in conservation planning. In marine environments, however, it can be particularly difficult to map the distribution of species, and the methods used are usually biased towards adults, neglecting the distribution of other life-history stages even though they can represent a substantia...
