A review of the occurrence of inter‐colony segregation of seabird foraging areas and the implications for marine environmental impact assessment
Understanding the determinants of species' distributions is a fundamental aim in ecology
and a prerequisite for conservation but is particularly challenging in the marine environment …

Foraging areas, offshore habitat use, and colony overlap by incubating Leach's storm-petrels Oceanodroma leucorhoa in the Northwest Atlantic
Despite their importance in marine food webs, much has yet to be learned about the spatial
ecology of small seabirds. This includes the Leach's storm-petrel Oceanodroma leucorhoa …

Proximate drivers of spatial segregation in non-breeding albatrosses
Many animals partition resources to avoid competition and in colonially-breeding species
this often leads to divergent space or habitat use. During the non-breeding season, foraging …

Spatial separation without territoriality in shark communities
Spatial separation within predator communities can arise via territoriality but also from
competitive interactions among and within species. However, linking competitive …

Using globally threatened pelagic birds to identify priority sites for marine conservation in the South Atlantic Ocean
Abstract The Convention on Biological Diversity aspires to designate 10% of the global
oceans as Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), but so far, few MPAs protect pelagic species in …

Framework for mapping key areas for marine megafauna to inform Marine Spatial Planning: The Falkland Islands case study
Abstract Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) is becoming a key management approach
throughout the world. The process includes the mapping of how humans and wildlife use the …

Decadal changes in habitat characteristics influence population trajectories of southern elephant seals
Understanding divergent biological responses to climate change is important for predicting
ecosystem level consequences. We use species habitat models to predict the winter …

Survival in macaroni penguins and the relative importance of different drivers: individual traits, predation pressure and environmental variability
Understanding the demographic response of free‐living animal populations to different
drivers is the first step towards reliable prediction of population trends. Penguins have …

The South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands MPA: protecting a biodiverse oceanic island chain situated in the flow of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current
Abstract South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (SGSSI) are surrounded by oceans
that are species-rich, have high levels of biodiversity, important endemism and which also …

Spatial and isotopic niche partitioning during winter in chinstrap and Adélie penguins from the South Shetland Islands
Closely related species with similar ecological requirements should exhibit segregation
along spatial, temporal, or trophic niche axes to limit the degree of competitive overlap. For …
