Refining Marine Turtle Conservation: Introducing Marine Turtle Management Areas (MATMAs) as a Spatial Conservation Tool

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT English Language Abstract Marine turtle regional management units (RMUs) are region‐wide population boundaries delineating marine turtle subpopulations. Analyses within RMUs can provide insights into their knowledge gaps and conservation status for those regions.

To release or not to release? A call for caution when considering wildlife reintroductions

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
Conservation efforts often focus on flagship species and short‐term measures such as captive breeding and reintroductions, yet these approaches may benefit from being complemented with a broader view of the factors that influence long‐term recovery. Using examples from management programs in the Iberian Peninsula, we highlight the value of considering ...

Penguins on the Move: Mapping Priority Penguin Habitat Areas Under Climate Change

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To identify and map Priority Penguin Habitat Areas (PPHAs), defined as marine regions that are environmentally suitable for penguins under present and future climates, in order to inform climate‐smart conservation planning across Southern Hemisphere. Location Marine realms of the Southern Hemisphere. Methods We modelled occurrence data for

Quantifying Bias and Detectability in Pelagic Seabird Citizen Science: Insights From a Mass‐Participation Cruise‐Based Dataset

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Citizen‐science observations are increasingly used to infer species distributions at sea, yet the extent to which observer behaviour and heterogeneous detectability may bias inferences from such pelagic seabird observations, and how explicitly accounting for these processes affects inferred distributional patterns, remains poorly ...

High contrast panels and lights do not reduce bird bycatch in Baltic Sea gillnet fisheries

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019
Bycatch is a cause of mortality among marine mammals, sea turtles, fish and birds. For some species this mortality may be sufficient to cause population declines.

A half century of monitoring reveals contrasting survival responses of Icelandic seabirds to climate and fisheries pressures

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 950-971, July 2026.
Seabirds serve as key indicators of marine environmental changes, with adult survival being a critical parameter for assessing population health. Iceland hosts some of the largest seabird populations in the North Atlantic, making it a valuable location for studying long‐term trends in seabird demographics.

The influence of a cooling water system on waterbird habitat use in a coastal environment

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 1148-1158, July 2026.
This study investigated the impact of a cooling water system at a nuclear power plant in northern Europe on coastal waterbird habitat use. In winter, the cooling water system provided preferential areas for waterbirds with warm productive waters, and, more importantly, with ice‐free areas.

A description of the gross pathology of drowning and other causes of mortality in seabirds

BMC Veterinary Research, 2017
Background Mortality of seabirds due to anthropogenic causes, especially entrapment in fishing gear, is a matter of increasing international concern.

Impacts of fisheries on seabird communities

Scientia Marina, 2003
Long-line by-catch of albatrosses and petrels may soon lead to species extinctions. Set-net bycatch has caused major reductions in certain seabird populations. Some fisheries may decrease numbers of seabirds by reducing abundance of prey-fish.
