Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Seabirds are among the most threatened birds as a result of acute exposure to many anthropogenic threats. Their effective conservation requires a detailed understanding of how seabirds use marine habitats.

Patterns in tern trophic diversity in a region experiencing rapid climate change
EcosphereForaging plasticity provides a mechanism for long‐lived species to adapt to rapidly changing environments. When shifts in food availability occur, individual variation in plasticity can lead to an increase in within‐species trophic diversity.

AvocettaThis study examines the population dynamics and spatial distribution of Arctic Terns in two tourist sites in Iceland's Westfjords: Vigur Island and Súðavík. In 2023, counts revealed 458 terns in Súðavík and 991 in Vigur. We propose a monitoring approach

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2020 The arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) is a ubiquitous migratory seabird of the High Arctic, currently thought to be in decline in most of the circumpolar world, but surprisingly little is known of its biology at high latitudes.

21 000 birds in 4.5 h: efficient large‐scale seabird detection with machine learning
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2021 We address the task of automatically detecting and counting seabirds in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery using deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs).

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 During the breeding season, seabirds are central place foragers and in order to successfully rear chicks they must adjust their foraging behaviours to compensate for extrinsic factors.

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Geolocator study reveals east African migration route of Central European Common Terns
Avian Research, 2020 Background The majority of European Common Terns (Sterna hirundo) migrate south along the western coast of Europe and Africa, while birds from eastern regions are known to cross the Mediterranean Sea from east to west or migrate along the eastern African
