Traversing the land‐sea interface: A climate change risk assessment of terrestrially breeding marine predators

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 8, August 2024.
We developed a framework to assess climate change risk for 56 seabird and seal species breeding in Australian territories and Antarctica. Extreme weather, changes in habitat suitability, and prey availability were key climate hazards, with species such as shy albatross, Australian fur seals, southern rockhopper penguins, and Australian sea lions facing
