Up for grabs: prey herding by penguins facilitates shallow foraging by volant seabirds [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Visual and olfactory signals are commonly used by seabirds to locate prey in the horizontal domain, but foraging success depends on prey depth and the seabird's ability to access it.

Monitoring to conservation: The science–policy nexus of plastics and seabirds
Cambridge Prisms: Plastics, 2023 Seabirds have been the messengers of marine plastics pollution since the 1950s, not long after plastics began to be commercially manufactured. In the decades since, a number of multilateral agreements have emerged to address marine plastics pollution ...

Artificial light at night correlates with seabird groundings: mapping city lights near a seabird breeding hotspot [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a growing conservation concern for seabirds, which can become disoriented and grounded by lights from buildings, bridges and boats. Many fledgling seabirds, especially Procellariiformes such as petrels and shearwaters,

Endangered Species Research, 2021 Seabirds are declining on a global scale, and this trend is concerning as they play an important role in the marine ecosystem. The decline is due to multiple reasons, but harvest fisheries are a major contributor.

Ecosphere, 2022 Driven by the necessity to decarbonize energy sources, many countries are targeting tidal stream environments for power generation. However, these areas can act as foraging hotspots for marine top predators, such as seabirds.

Seabird bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries is grossly underestimated when using only haul data. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Hundreds of thousands of seabirds are killed each year as bycatch in longline fisheries. Seabirds are predominantly caught during line setting but bycatch is generally recorded during line hauling, many hours after birds are caught. Bird loss during this

Summer foraging behaviour of shallow-diving seabirds and distribution of their prey, Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida), in the Canadian Arctic [PDF]
Polar Research, 2012 Productive areas in the Canadian Arctic seasonally provide top predators with accessible and often predictable sources of energy. Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) aggregate in shallow bays during the summer and are exploited by seabirds and marine mammals ...

Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Bycatch in gillnets from lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) fisheries is an important conservation issue in the north Atlantic, with up to 30 000 seabirds potentially killed each year. To date, no technical solutions exist to reduce the bycatch of seabirds in

Declive de la población reproductora de gaviota patiamarilla Larus michahellis en la costa vasca (Cantábrico oriental) durante el periodo 2000-2021 [PDF]
Munibe Ciencias Naturales, 2022 Censos recientes revelan un declive poblacional acusado de la gaviota patiamarilla Larus michahellis en buena parte de su área de distribución. Ya a mediados de la década de 2010 se registró en la costa vasca un declive cercano al 50% respecto al censo ...
