Global review of shorebird tracking data to identify research gaps and conservation priorities. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Tracking has enabled rapid advances in knowledge of the movement behavior and habitat use of shorebirds and is thus making a growing contribution to their conservation. However, realizing the full potential that tracking holds for conservation involves understanding what has been performed on shorebirds to date and identifying regional and ...

Spatial segregation and bycatch risk as potential drivers of population trends of wandering albatrosses at South Georgia. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Spatial segregation in at‐sea distribution is frequently observed in seabirds and can have important implications for conservation and management. Globally, many albatross and petrel populations are declining due to bycatch in fisheries. In South Georgia, the decrease in wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) differs among breeding sites ...

Conservation-focused mapping of avian migratory routes using a pan-European automated telemetry network. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Accelerated biodiversity loss has destabilized functional links within and between ecosystems. Species that cross different ecosystems during migration between breeding and nonbreeding sites are particularly sensitive to global change because they are exposed to various, often ecosystem‐specific, threats.

Scaling up ocean conservation through recognition of key biodiversity areas in the Southern Ocean from multispecies tracking data. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Biodiversity is critical for maintaining ecosystem function but is threatened by increasing anthropogenic pressures. In the Southern Ocean, a highly biologically productive region containing many endemic species, proactive management is urgently needed to mitigate increasing pressures from fishing, climate change, and tourism.

Influence of landfill use on nest‐site selection and breeding success in white storks

Journal of Zoology, Volume 321, Issue 3, Page 175-187, November 2023., 2023
Breeding near landfills may determine habitat preference and selection in white storks, however breeding success depends on habitat quality in the surrounding area more than the distance to the landfill. Abstract Landscape transformation by humans through habitat degradation, agriculture intensification and urbanization results in the loss of natural ...

Wildlife as sentinels of compliance with law: An example with GPS‐tagged scavengers and sanitary regulations

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 10, Page 2188-2198, October 2023., 2023
GPS‐tagged scavengers allow the on‐ground monitoring of carcasses, the addressing of potential risks for wildlife, livestock and human health, the quantitative assessment of compliance with the law and would improve estimates of carcass availability, substantially contributing to more effective legislation enforcement.

Linking animal behaviour and tree recruitment: Caching decisions by a scatter‐hoarder corvid determine seed fate in a Mediterranean agroforestry system

Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 2, Page 400-411, February 2023., 2023
The consequences of seed caching for seedling early establishment are driven by a fine decision‐making process of the disperser. Magpies seemed to ponder the characteristics of the habitat and the seed itself to determine where and how to cache each nut. By doing so, magpies reinforced the quality of seed dispersal effectiveness, as they cached walnuts

The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership

Monitoring wildlife health for diseases with visible signs by integrating camera traps with marked individuals

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Monitoring wildlife health is essential for conservation and management, wildlife and livestock welfare, and public health in a One Health framework. Yet, wildlife health monitoring often requires long‐term fieldwork and intensive sampling, which can be costly or logistically challenging, especially for remote, rare, or elusive populations. To
