Abstract Plastic pollution is distributed patchily around the world’s oceans. Likewise, marine organisms that are vulnerable to plastic ingestion or entanglement have uneven distributions. Understanding where wildlife encounters crucial for targeting research and mitigation. Oceanic seabirds, particularly petrels, frequently ingest plastic, highly threatened, cover vast distances during foraging migration. However, spatial overlap between petrels plastics poorly understood. Here we combine...
Summary Medium to small petrels that mostly nest in burrows or crevices represent a large fraction of the world’s seabirds, yet their population trends are largely unknown. This lack knowledge, which has implications for conservation planning, results from methodological difficulties and approaches have been used monitoring. Here, we present surveying scheme created monitor Cory’s Shearwater Calonectris borealis breeding numbers at largest known colony, Selvagem Grande (Portugal). We defined...
Abstract Diet composition and foraging behaviour may show considerable variation among population groups (such as sex age classes), with potentially important consequences for dynamics. Thus, failure to account intra‐specific differences in trophic ecology can bias our understanding of different aspects limit the implementation effective management conservation strategies. Although countless studies have investigated diet birds, comparatively few tried describe sources dietary variation....
