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...
Sexual segregation by micro- or macrohabitat is common in birds, and usually attributed to size-mediated dominance exclusion of females larger males, trophic niche divergence reproductive role specialization. Our study black-browed albatrosses, Thalassarche melanophrys, grey-headed T. chrysostoma, revealed an exceptional degree sexual during incubation, with largely mutually exclusive core foraging ranges for each sex both species. Spatial was not apparent brood-guard post-guard chick...

There is growing evidence that migratory species are particularly vulnerable to rapid environmental changes arising from human activity. Species expected vary in their capacity respond these changes: long-distance migrants and those lacking variability traits probably at considerable disadvantage. The few studies have assessed the degree of plasticity behaviour marine animals suggest fidelity non-breeding destinations usually high. In present study, we evaluated individual flexibility...
The distributions of migratory species in the ocean span local, national and international jurisdictions. Across these ecologically interconnected regions, marine interact with anthropogenic stressors throughout their lives. Migratory connectivity, geographical linking individuals populations cycles, influences how spatial temporal dynamics affect animals scale up to influence population abundance, distribution persistence. Population declines many have led calls for connectivity knowledge,...

Gelatinous zooplankton are a large component of the animal biomass in all marine environments, but considered to be uncommon diet most top predators. However, diets key predator groups like seabirds have conventionally been assessed from stomach content analyses, which cannot detect gelatinous prey. As predators used identify changes overall species composition ecosystems, such biases dietary assessment may impact our detection important ecosystem regime shifts. We investigated albatross...
Abstract The conservation of migratory marine species, including pelagic seabirds, is challenging because their movements span vast distances frequently beyond national jurisdictions. Here, we aim to identify important aggregations seabirds in the North Atlantic inform ongoing regional efforts. Using tracking, phenology, and population data, mapped abundance diversity 21 seabird species. This revealed a major hotspot associated with discrete area subpolar frontal zone, used annually by 2.9–5...
Abstract The identification of geographic areas where the densities animals are highest across their annual cycles is a crucial step in conservation planning. In marine environments, however, it can be particularly difficult to map distribution species, and methods used usually biased towards adults, neglecting other life‐history stages even though they represent substantial proportion total population. Here we develop methodological framework for estimating population‐level density...
Highly-threatened seabirds connect many countries and the high seas therefore depend on coordinated ocean governance.
Abstract Identifying important sites for biodiversity is vital conservation and management. However, there a lack of accessible, easily applied tools that enable practitioners to delineate highly mobile species using established criteria. We introduce the R package ‘track2KBA’, tool identify at population level tracking data from individual animals based on three key steps: (a) identifying core areas, (b) assessing population‐level representativeness sample (c) quantifying spatial overlap...
ABSTRACT Aim To identify the broad‐scale oceanic migration routes (‘marine flyways’) used by multiple pelagic, long‐distance migratory seabirds based on a global compilation of tracking data. Location Global. Time Period 1989–2023. Major Taxa Studied Seabirds (Families: Phaethontidae, Hydrobatidae, Diomedeidae, Procellariidae, Laridae and Stercorariidae). Methods We collated comprehensive dataset that included 48 pelagic migrating seabird species across Atlantic, Indian, Pacific Southern...
Abstract Although fisheries bycatch is the greatest threat to many migratory marine megafauna, it remains unclear how population exposure varies across global range of threatened species. Such assessments multiple populations are crucial for understanding variation in impacts and identifying management bodies responsible reducing bycatch. Here, we combine extensive biologging data from white‐chinned petrel ( Procellaria aequinoctialis ) (representing >98% their breeding population) with...
Summary 1. Comprehensive knowledge of the fundamental spatial ecology marine species is critical to allow identification key habitats and likely sources anthropogenic threats, thus informing effective conservation strategies. 2. Research on migratory vertebrates has lagged behind many similar terrestrial animal groups, but studies using electronic tagging systems molecular techniques offer great insights. 3. Marine turtles have complex life history patterns, spanning wide spatio‐temporal...
ABSTRACT Aim Tracking technologies are often proposed as a method to elucidate the complex migratory life histories of marine vertebrates, allowing spatially explicit threats be identified and mitigated. We conducted global analysis foraging areas adult green turtles ( Chelonia mydas ) subject satellite tracking n = 145) conservation designation these according International Union for Conservation Nature criteria. Location The turtle has largely circumtropical distribution, with adults...
Abstract The processes that drive the ontogeny of migratory strategies in long‐lived animals with slow maturation remain enigmatic. While some short‐lived migrants are known or believed to repeat same patterns throughout their lives, little is on time required for immature progressively acquire adult‐like behaviours, which aspects take longer refine during process. Here, we studied long‐distance and related spatial distribution a seabird species annual cycle. To do so, deployed light‐level...
Few studies have looked into climate change resilience of populations wild animals. We use a model higher vertebrate, the green sea turtle, as its life history is fundamentally affected by climatic conditions, including temperature-dependent sex determination and obligate beaches subject to level rise (SLR). empirical data from globally important population in West Africa assess resistance within quantitative framework. project 200 years primary ratios (1900-2100) create digital elevation...

Studies attempting to document reproductive or other pre-lethal senescence effects in wild birds typically face an array of problems, including flaws statistical analyses, non-adaptive philopatry deteriorating environments, confounding arising from cohort heterogeneity and differential death rates phenotypes the frequent pairing old younger mates. Furthermore, recent studies suggest that could maintain a high level physical fitness until age, before being struck by catastrophic illness...
