Colonial seabirds are relatively easy to observe, count, measure and manipulate, and
consequently have long been used as models for testing ecological hypotheses. A …

Abstract Mid-latitude (∼ 30-60°) seasonally stratifying shelf-seas support a high abundance
and diversity of marine predators such as marine mammals and seabirds. However …

Knowledge about the spatial distribution of seabirds at sea is important for conservation.
During marine conservation planning, logistical constraints preclude seabird surveys …

Invasive alien species are among the primary causes of biodiversity change globally, with
the risks thereof broadly understood for most regions of the world. They are similarly thought …

The field of marine tagging and tracking has grown rapidly in recent years as tag sizes have
decreased and the diversity of sensors has increased. Tag data provide a unique view on …

Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are recognised as a key component of an ecosystem-based
approach to managing the marine environment more effectively and sustainably. Marine top …

Estimating habitat and spatial associations for wildlife is common across ecological studies
and it is well known that individual traits can drive population dynamics and vice versa …

Telemetry methods and remote sensing now make it possible to record the spatial usage of
wide‐ranging marine animals and the biophysical characteristics of their pelagic habitats …

Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) provide an important tool for conservation of marine
ecosystems. To be most effective, these areas should be strategically located in a manner …

The identification of geographic areas where the densities of animals are highest across
their annual cycles is a crucial step in conservation planning. In marine environments …
