Successes and opportunities for solutions‐oriented conservation research: Lessons learned from avian science

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Conservation science struggles with an ongoing divide between research and action. We discussed examples of successful solutions‐oriented avian conservation science. Successes were characterized by communication, collaboration, and co‐development with local communities, decision‐makers, practitioners, and Indigenous communities.

Counter‐factual simulation highlights requirements for additional management to avert extinction of a relict Tītī/Sooty Shearwater population

Ibis, EarlyView.
Seabirds play key ecological roles but face increasing threats worldwide. Among them, Tītī (Sooty Shearwater) Ardenna grisea are among the most abundant and culturally significant species in the Southern Hemisphere but are also threatened. Kapiti Island, Aotearoa (New Zealand), holds a Tītī colony which, despite eradication of non‐native mammalian ...

Species’ traits and exposure as a future lens for quantifying seabird bycatch vulnerability in global fisheries

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2022
Fisheries bycatch, the incidental mortality of non-target species, is a global threat to seabirds and a major driver of their declines worldwide. Identifying the most vulnerable species is core to developing sustainable fisheries management strategies ...

Les terres australes françaises, terrain d’expérimentation de la solidarité écologique

VertigO, 2022
Human-Wildlife coexistence, crystalizing trade-offs between socio-economic viability, food security of human populations and species conservation, has become a major societal and environmental challenge.

Geolocation reveals wintering sites of near‐extinct Caucasian breeding sea duck

Ibis, EarlyView.
We obtained 14 sets of full annual cycle geolocator tracks from 13 individual nesting female Velvet Scoter Melanitta fusca from the relict Caucasian population at their last remaining breeding site, Lake Tabatskuri, Georgia. Results showed that females wintered at widespread discrete localities in Ukraine, around the coasts of the Crimean Peninsula and

Satellite‐Based Fishing Fleet Tracking: A New Foundation for Fisheries Science and Management

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 1134-1150, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Satellite‐based vessel‐tracking technologies have ushered in a new era for monitoring fishing activity at scale. By combining artificial intelligence (AI) methods with remotely‐sensed data, researchers can now detect, classify and analyse fishing behaviour across vast and previously unobservable ocean regions.

Best practices for mitigating seabird bycatch on Taiwanese albacore longline fishing vessels operating in the southeastern Atlantic Ocean

Global Ecology and Conservation
Seabird bycatch—particularly involving albatrosses and petrels—remains a significant conservation concern in pelagic longline fisheries. This study evaluated the effectiveness of three mitigation measures—bird-scaring lines (BSLs), weighted branch lines,

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.

Global patterns of sex- and age-specific variation in seabird bycatch [PDF]

Biological Conservation, 2017
Fisheries bycatch is a major threat to seabird populations, and understanding sex- and age-biases in bycatch rates is important for assessing population-level impacts. We analysed 44 studies to provide the first global assessment of seabird bycatch by sex and age, and used generalised models to investigate the effects of region and fishing method ...

Advancing spatially explicit Bycatch Risk Assessment (ByRA): High-resolution risk mapping for seabirds in the Celtic Seas

Ecological Indicators
Many seabird species are at risk, facing serious population declines due in part to bycatch in commercial fishing operations. However, due to limitations in bycatch data for many species, little is known about the spatio-temporal variations in bycatch ...
