Birds, 2022 Each year, billions of seabirds undertake migrations, connecting remote regions of the world, potentially synchronizing population fluctuations among distant areas. This connectedness has implications for the uncertainty calculations of the total seabird

Global seabird bycatch in longline fisheries [PDF]
Endangered Species Research, 2011 Bycatch in longline fisheries is believed to govern the adverse conservation status of many seabird species, but no comprehensive global assessment has been undertaken. We reviewed the extent of seabird bycatch in all longline fisheries for which data are available.

Endangered Species Research, 2023 Many seabird populations are declining, with fisheries bycatch as one of the greatest threats. Explicit risk criteria should be used to identify whether bycatch is a problem for particular species and fisheries, but these are often poorly defined.

Evaluation of the effectiveness of light streamer tori-lines and characteristics of bait attacks by seabirds in the western North Pacific. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 To improve the effectiveness of tori-lines it is necessary to evaluate the ability of tori-lines to mitigate seabird bycatch and determine what kind of seabird species gather during line settings, attack the bait and are incidentally caught. We conducted

Advances in Scale Assessment of Seabird Bycatch: A New Methodological Framework
Diversity, 2023 This paper presents a methodology for indirectly estimating the scale of seabird bycatch using existing data. The study focuses on five key species of ducks that winter in the Polish waters of the Baltic Sea and are highly susceptible to bycatch: Long ...

Illuminating gillnets to save seabirds and the potential for multi-taxa bycatch mitigation [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Bycatch in net fisheries is recognized as a major source of mortality for many marine species, including seabirds. Few mitigation solutions, however, have been identified.

Facilitative interspecific interactions in marine vertebrates across scales: from individuals to ecosystems. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Facilitative interspecific interactions (FIIs) confer benefits to at least one participant without detriment to others. Although often less emphasised than antagonistic interactions in ecological studies, this review highlights the significant ecological role of FIIs across biological scales – from individual behaviours to population ...

Tere Tohorā, Karanga Tāngata: Weaving Māori Knowledge With Conventional Science to Characterise a Biodiversity Hotspot for Marine Megafauna in an Area Facing Multiple Anthropogenic Impacts. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study weaves traditional Māori knowledge and conventional scientific surveys to generate a stocktake on the biodiversity of marine megafauna in an area facing multiple anthropogenic impacts in New Zealand. Across dual knowledge systems, we show that Te Ākau/Bream Bay provides critically important habitat for a range of marine mammal and seabird ...

Assessing seabird bycatch in gillnet fisheries using electronic monitoring [PDF]
Biological Conservation, 2020 Abstract The unintentional capture (bycatch) of seabirds in gillnet fisheries kills hundreds of thousands of individuals annually and is thought to threaten the conservation of entire populations. However, data from commercial fisheries is often lacking to confirm these suspicions.
