Geolocators reveal migration and pre-breeding behaviour of the critically endangered Balearic Shearwater Puffinus mauretanicus [PDF]

, 2012
Using combined miniature archival light and salt-water immersion loggers, we characterise the year-round individual at-sea movements of Europe’s only critically endangered seabird, the Balearic shearwater Puffinus mauretanicus, for the first time ...

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy
