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 of migratory marine species, including pelagic seabirds, is challenging because their movements 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....

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 ...
Spatial scales of marine conservation management for breeding seabirds
Oppel, Steffen; Bolton, Mark; Carneiro, Ana Paula B.; Dias, Maria P.; Green, Jonathan A.; Masello, Juan F.; Phillips, Richard A.; Owen, EllieKnowing the spatial scales at which effective management can be implemented is fundamental for conservation planning. This is especially important for mobile species, which can be exposed to threats across large areas, but the space use requirements of different species can vary to an extent that might render some management approaches inefficient. Here the space use patterns of seabirds were examined to provid...
