Does brain size matter? Linking cognitive and ecological traits to climate change vulnerability in seabirds

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 1061-1070, April 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding the mechanisms that increase a species resilience to climate change is central to predicting how they are likely to respond. One determinant of vulnerability to climate change identified in multiple taxa is the thermal range of a species' distribution.

Mitigating the effect of by‐catch on endangered marine life

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 172-184, April 2025.
Fishing gears cause substantial impacts on the oceans and their ecosystems, and many marine animals, such as sea turtles, marine mammals, seabirds and elasmobranchs, end up as by ‐catch. In this paper, the most effective mitigation measures were investigated for each group, taking into account the fishing gear with which they interact most.
