Summary: A fine-scale displacement of Manx shearwaters, a wide-ranging pelagic seabird, reveals that they preferentially adopt shorter homing routes following release at proximal sites, demonstrating ...

Marine Biology - There is a wide variability in seabirds migratory strategies, not only across species, but also among populations of the same species, within populations, and even within...

Drones are a valuable tool for surveying birds, but manually detecting and identifying birds in drone images is costly. We assembled a diverse dataset of 23 865 images of birds captured with 21 diffe...

Replicating previous research builds confidence that results are real and meaningful. But close replications are rare due to limitations in resources and d

To mark International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we speak to six of our Conservation Scientists.

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

A novel individual-based model to predict the impacts of offshore wind farms on seabirds during the non-breeding season, using long-term tracking data from SEATRACK. We demonstrate the model by simul...
