Illuminating the Arctic: Unveiling seabird responses to artificial light during polar darkness through citizen science and remote sensing

recommendations! Published in 2024 at "Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation"

DOI: 10.1002/rse2.425

Abstract: Artificial light at night (ALAN) has global impacts on animals, often negative, yet its effects in polar regions remains largely underexplored. These regions experience prolonged darkness during the polar night, while human activity and artificial… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2020 at "Scientific Reports"

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-72238-6

Abstract: Seabirds redistribute nutrients between different ecosystem compartments and over vast geographical areas. This nutrient transfer may impact both local ecosystems on seabird breeding islands and regional biogeochemical cycling, but these processes are seldom considered in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-14651-3

Abstract: An extensive survey for the detection of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza virus (HPAIV) H5 in seabird species is reported here. It was conducted between December 2023 and January 2024, in thirteen breeding sites spanning from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/beheco/ary032

Abstract: This study reports on a relationship between a chemical signal, physiological condition, and a putative signal of dominance in the crested auklet, a colonial seabird of Alaska and Siberia. This species emits a citrus-like odorant… read more here.

Antarctic petrels ‘on the ice rocks’: wintering strategy of an Antarctic seabird

recommendations! Published in 2020 at "Royal Society Open Science"

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.191429

Abstract: There is a paucity of information on the foraging ecology, especially individual use of sea-ice features and icebergs, over the non-breeding season in many seabird species. Using geolocators and stable isotopes, we defined the movements,… read more here.

Temporal and spatial differences in the post-breeding behaviour of a ubiquitous Southern Hemisphere seabird, the common diving petrel

recommendations! Published in 2020 at "Royal Society Open Science"

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.200670

Abstract: The non-breeding period plays a major role in seabird survival and population dynamics. However, our understanding of the migratory behaviour, moulting and feeding strategies of non-breeding seabirds is still very limited, especially for small-sized species.… read more here.

Role of environmental factors in the genetic structure of a highly mobile seabird

recommendations! Published in 2024 at "Journal of Biogeography"

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.14862

Abstract: Environmental features can act as selection pressures and barriers to gene flow between populations. The genetic structuring of highly mobile but philopatric seabirds creates a paradox, and the role of oceanographic and geographic variables is… read more here.

Potential benefits to breeding seabirds of converting abandoned coconut plantations to native habitats after invasive predator eradication

recommendations! Published in 2021 at "Restoration Ecology"

DOI: 10.1111/rec.13386

Abstract: On many Pacific and Indian Ocean islands, colonization by humans brought invasive species, native vegetation destruction, and coconut plantations, leading to the decimation of seabird populations. The coconut industry on oceanic islands has since crashed,… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2018 at "PLoS ONE"

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0196731

Abstract: High numbers of seabirds are killed annually worldwide in longline fisheries. In the Mediterranean, this mortality is seriously affecting the viability of seabird populations, in particular of the three endemic shearwaters. Even so, there is… read more here.

DOI: 10.2989/00306525.2018.1480068

Abstract: Numbers of eight seabird species that have bred in coastal areas of South Africa’s arid Northern Cape province have all shown substantial decreases since initial estimates of their abundance were made in the latter part… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmars.2025.1544866

Abstract: The Faroe Shelf, located on the North Atlantic’s Iceland-Scotland ridge, has historically hosted a rich ecosystem with large seabird populations. However, substantial declines in their population sizes have been observed over the past half century.… read more here.
