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 ...

Seabirds boost coral reef resilience
Science Advances, 2023 Global climate change threatens tropical coral reefs, yet local management can influence resilience. While increasing anthropogenic nutrients reduce coral resistance and recovery, it is unknown how the loss, or restoration, of natural nutrient flows ...

Rat eradication restores nutrient subsidies from seabirds across terrestrial and marine ecosystems.
Current Biology, 2021 Biological invasions pose a threat to nearly every ecosystem worldwide.1,2 Although eradication programs can successfully eliminate invasive species and enhance native biodiversity, especially on islands,3 the effects of eradication on cross-ecosystem ...

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,
