Diet diversity across northern hemisphere ecosystems affects seabird responses to climate change, with breeding productivity declining in the Arctic and North Atlantic but not in the Pacific from 1993 to 2019, based on 138 time series of breeding success and linear mixed effects models.

Abstract. Monitoring of seabird population size and demography has for decades relied on observer-based methods. While such methods have allowed the accumu

Each year in Newfoundland, Canada, fledgling Atlantic Puffins (“pufflings”; Fratercula arctica ) become stranded in coastal towns during their nocturnal first flights from breeding colonies on...

Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far-reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of ....

Seabirds’ annual survival is influenced by numerous factors, but oceanic conditions are among the most significant. Indices used to monitor these conditions typically cycle over decades. Using the lon...

We’re excited to share the publication of a new paper in Ecography, led by PhD candidate Sara Ryding (Deakin University, collaboration with Matt Symonds Lab), which explores how climate change may be reshaping the morphology of migratory shorebirds. Using an incredibly extensive dataset of nearly 19,000 juvenile birds across 11 species sampled over 43 years, Sara investigated whether warming temperatures are causing changes in relative wing length, a trait thought to play a role in thermoregulation.

This study presents the first systematic assessment of trends in white shark Carcharodon carcharias presence in Atlantic Canadian waters (ACWs) using 2 standardized acoustic monitoring...

On April 22, the Government of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, a U.K. overseas territory, officially enacted a strengthened set of protections for its vast marine protected area (MPA). F...
