Seabird biologist and Memorial University professor emeritus Bill Montevecchi died early Saturday morning. He was 80 years-old.

Life-stage transitions in seabirds involve substantial shifts in physiological demands, yet the molecular mechanisms underpinning these changes remain poorly resolved. Here we applied untargeted data....

Traditional food smoking in Vietnam often uses biomass fuels, but the incidental inclusion of plastics can generate toxic pollutants. This study evaluated the effects of polyethylene (PE), polystyrene...

When we see shearwaters washed up dead on beaches, we might think strong winds or a failed migration are to blame. That’s not the case – it’s hotter oceans

Adrift Lab is a research group focused on seabirds and marine plastics research. Our mission is to use insights gathered from our long-term research to inform marine and waste policy, and to drive pos...

It is thought it is from a board game called 'The Lion and the Mouse'.

Report beached birds, seabirds, and mutton birds. Help us gather data on seabird mass mortality events as a citizen scientist.

Seabirds are among the most threatened bird groups globally, yet research effort is unevenly distributed among species, with some taxa receiving exten…
