Abstract Seabirds have been particularly affected by invasive non‐native species, which has led to the implementation of numerous eradication campaigns for conservation these keystone and highly vulnerable species. Although benefits species seabird demonstrated, recovery kinetics different populations on islands after remains poorly evaluated. We conducted long‐term monitoring number breeding pairs seven a small atoll, Surprise Island, New Caledonia (southwestern tropical Pacific). Marine...

Abstract Two species breeding in sympatry are more likely to coexist if their ecological niches segregated either time, space or trophic habits. Here, we combined GPS-tracking, stable isotope analysis and DNA metabarcoding understand how the rare Tahiti petrel Pseudobulweria rostrata (TP) copes with very abundant (i.e. 500,000 pairs) wedge-tailed shearwater Ardenna pacifica (WTS) when a tropical area. WTS foraged restricted areas along path, while TP predominantly using extensive search...
Environmental impact assessments (EIAs) of windfarms require counting bat and bird carcasses around turbines to assess the number individuals killed by collision or barotrauma. In order accurately estimate mortality from carcass counts, most studies correct probability removal between fatality searches, data that is obtained through persistence trials. However, there currently no consensus on trial design estimation methodology. This study aimed sensitivity several estimators employed during...

The increasing use of, and visits to, isolated territories by people (especially tourists) enables the investigation of how biodiversity reacts to evolutionarily novel pressures. We explored behavioural reaction a breeding seabird species, Brown Noddy Anous stolidus , our repeated at two study sites in Chesterfield Islands, newly classified reserve Coral Sea Natural Park. Repeated measures flight‐initiation distances (FIDs) three over time suggest that human visitations induced both spatial...

The ability of corals to modulate their nutrition strategy in response variable nutrient supply remains poorly understood, limiting our understanding energy flow coral reef ecosystems and thus comprehension resilience global changes.

The Tahiti petrel ( Pseudobulweria rostrata ) is a rare and declining seabird whose breeding biology nest-site selection are poorly known. Nest-site critical to population fitness, understanding the factors driving it essential for designing effective conservation measures. Here, we measured several variables (topographical, physical environmental) characterize nesting habitats burrows (i.e., width, height, depth type: rocky cavity, dug into soil or under root) on Nemou Island in New...
Reef-building corals generally thrive in nutrient-poor tropical waters, where among other elements, nitrogen (N) availability often limits primary productivity. In addition to their close association with endosymbiotic dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae, enabling an effective use and retention dissolved inorganic (DIN), scleractinian have developed strategies acquire new N: (1) They can ingest N-rich sediment particles preys (from picoplankton macro-zooplankton) via heterotrophy,...
Conservation of breeding seabirds typically requires detailed data on where they feed at sea. Ecological niche models (ENMs) can fill gaps, but rarely perform well when transferred to new regions. Alternatively, the foraging radius approach simply encircles sea surrounding a seabird colony (a circle), overestimates habitat. Here, we investigate whether ENMs transfer (predict) niches tropical between global colonies, and refine circles. We collate large dataset tracks (12000 trips, 16...
