Population dynamics and foraging ecology are two fields of the population ecology that are
generally studied separately. Yet, foraging determines allocation processes and therefore …

Incidental mortality (bycatch) in fisheries remains the greatest threat to many large marine
vertebrates and is a major barrier to fisheries sustainability. Robust assessments of bycatch …

With threats to nature becoming increasingly prominent, in order for biodiversity levels to
persist, there is a critical need to improve implementation of conservation measures. In the …

Bycatch is a conservation concern for marine biodiversity, including seabirds. Analyses of
spatio-temporal overlap are an important tool for identifying areas and periods where birds …

Despite international waters covering over 60% of the world's oceans, understanding of how
fisheries in these regions shape ecosystem processes is surprisingly poor. Seabirds forage …

Human activities can influence the movement of organisms, either repelling or attracting
individuals depending on whether they interfere with natural behavioural patterns or …

Animals have to develop novel behaviours to adapt to anthropogenic activities or
environmental changes. Fishing vessels constitute a recent feature that attracts albatrosses …

Despite the increase of literature on seabird plastic ingestion in recent years, few studies
have assessed how plastic loads vary according to different sampling methods. Most studies …

Background Fishing activities can influence foraging behaviour of many seabird species
worldwide. Seabirds are attracted by fishing vessels which can facilitate access to demersal …

Seabirds are well known to be attracted by fishing boats to forage on offal and baits. We
used recently developed loggers that record accurate GPS position and detect the presence …
