Between‐species contagion drives HPAI transmission and mass mortality in seabirds

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1488-1503, August 2026.
Modelling the unprecedented avian panzootic caused by High‐Pathogenicity Avian Influenza (HPAI) across the Northeast Atlantic gannet breeding metapopulation, we estimated 28% (95% CI: 21%–34%) HPAI‐related mortality. Large‐scale outbreak initiation was best explained by external infection sources, most likely, other seabird species.

Demographic responses to population recovery illustrated by 30 years of monitoring a once critically endangered parrot

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
These findings highlight the dynamic nature of demographic processes throughout population recovery and emphasise the value of continued monitoring beyond apparent recovery to detect density‐dependent shifts in demographic rates of wildlife populations.

Enriching historical biologging datasets on seabirds using deep neural networks: A transformer‐based approach to infer energy expenditure proxy from GPS and environmental data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2408-2423, August 2026.
Abstract Recent advances in biologging have led to the widespread use of accelerometers, which generate high‐resolution movement data essential for understanding animal behaviour. Derived from tri‐axial accelerometry, Overall Dynamic Body Acceleration (ODBA) serves as a proxy for energy expenditure that is less invasive and more cost‐effective than ...

by Seabird

by Seabird is a novel narrated by Seabird, the art, or artistic persona, created by the novel's two protagonists at contemporary art school. Through close third-person narration, Seabird recounts her creators' reunion five years later on a British Columbia Gulf Island, where the women must decide what to do with their unfinished art project—and with ...

Geolocation with a magnetic sensor

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2395-2407, August 2026.
Abstract Many migratory animals use spatial variation in the Earth's magnetic field for orientation and navigation. This raises the possibility of exploiting these same cues to geolocate and track migratory animals throughout their annual journeys. Magnetic‐based geolocation could be particularly valuable for small aerial and aquatic species, for which

Overlap of nonbreeding wandering albatrosses with fisheries and implications for colony‐specific population trajectories at South Georgia

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Bycatch in fisheries is one of the most serious threats to pelagic seabirds, causing major population declines. Mitigation measures can reduce bycatch substantially, but many fisheries fail to apply best practices, and seabird mortality remains high.
