Plastic debris is often ingested by marine predators and can cause health disorders and
even death. We present the first assessment of plastic ingestion in Mediterranean seabirds …

The distribution of wildlife informs conservation planning. In marine systems, spatial
information for seabirds is acquired primarily using vessel-based at-sea survey, aerial …

Pelagic seabirds are exposed to an array of potential threats during the non-breeding
period, and effective management of these threats on a large scale requires knowledge of …

Abstract Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are being established across all marine regions but
their validity for the conservation of highly mobile marine vertebrates has been questioned …

Aim The movement patterns of marine top predators are likely to reflect responses to prey
distributions, which themselves can be influenced by factors such as climate and fisheries …

Recent meta-analyses identified conservation hotpots at the scale of the Mediterranean, yet
those may be crude by lack of detailed information about the spatial ecology of the species …

Abstract Although the Yelkouan Shearwater Puffinus yelkouan is listed as near threatened
on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, with many populations in …

The pre-laying exodus (PLE) is considered a crucial period in the breeding biology of
Procellariiformes as it determines the success of egg production within a season and …

Patterns of behavioural variation and migratory connectivity are important characteristics of
populations, particularly at the edges of species distributions, where processes involved in …

Stable isotope compositions of carbon and nitrogen (expressed as δ 13C and δ 15N) from
the European common cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) were measured in order to evaluate the …
