When Camilo Carneiro and colleagues started to write a 2026 paper about global movements of Whimbrel, in 2024, there was just one species. By the time they finished there were two, with the America…

Abstract. Variation in daylight hours may shape light-dependent behaviours both across seasons and among latitudinally distinct breeding colonies. We inves

Over the last year, our lab has been developing a policy on AI use. To do this, we did three main things: We read a lot of academic publications and tech news. We set up an #ai channel on our la...

Pelagic seabirds are one of the most threatened bird groups globally. Attraction to, and disorientation by, artificial light at night (ALAN) is a key …

The Seabird Group is committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion within the seabirding community. Summary statistics on these data will be used to monitor our progress on increasing diver...

Although biologging has transformed seabird ecology, bird-borne devices could alter the behaviors being studied, including parental care. We tested for effects of leg-mounted light-level geolocators (...

We are withdrawing a manuscript from the journal Marine Environmental Research, and we want to explain why, publicly, because the issue is bigger than one paper.

Terwijl Europa zich opmaakt voor een warme zomer, werkt Brussel achter de schermen aan het afzwakken van de wetten die onze vogels en natuur beschermen.

In long-lived socially monogamous animals, pair bonds play a crucial role in breeding success. In many predominantly socially monogamous animals, howe…

Storm petrels are among the smallest and most mysterious seabirds. Until recently, the use of biologgers to track their movements was impossible. A new study published in Biology Letters reveals that ...

The non-breeding period of pelagic seabirds, and particularly the moulting stage, is an important, but understudied part of their annual cycle as they are hardly accessible outside of the breeding per...

Stop the dismantling of European environmental protections. Stand up for forests, wildlife, clean air, and safe water - our nature depends on it.

The Seabird Group was founded to promote and co-ordinate the study and conservation of seabirds. We organise conferences and publish the journal SEABIRD.
