Animals use a variety of environmental cues to identify profitable conditions and increase their foraging efficiency. Identifying environmental correlates of foraging behaviour can help to understand...

Numbers of puffins at one of the UK’s largest colonies have reduced by around 30% since 2024, a new survey has shown.

Background A seabird’s ability to efficiently find prey directly affects reproduction, and seabird population declines are frequently linked to forage fish depletion. Reduced forage fish availability ...

Fishing is not allowed within wind farms; therefore, discard-feeding seabirds may appear to avoid wind farm areas. We found that most Lesser Black-backed Gulls avoided the wind farm area, but not eac....

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...

We are looking for a highly organised and motivated individual to support our work on urban kittiwakes. Working alongside the Senior Conservation Officer for Yorkshire and Humber, as well as key ...

This bulletin was first published by the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research on January 15th, 2026 One hundred and fifty years ago, seabirds lived in a very different coastal environment from the…

A warmer North Atlantic Ocean increases the pressure on seabird populations, of which many are already in decline. A large-scale study of 26 populations of five species reveals that increasing tempera...

Climate-driven ocean warming is profoundly reshaping marine ecosystems, with cascading effects on biodiversity and trophic interactions. For migrat...

Biodiversity decline jeopardizes the foundation of natural ecosystems and human well-being, a concern that prompted major global agreements aiming to bend the curve towards a net positive biodiversity...

Climate change is causing ocean warming, acidification and loss of sea ice. This, in turn, is leading to shifting biogeographic distribution and in some cases species extinction.

This study examines the presence and distribution of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the liver tissues of six Procellariiformes species collected from beach-cast individuals along the Rio Gran...

Wild seabirds are more likely to split up in windy weather, according to a new study involving the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology.

A spatial planning tool to indicate the foraging value of marine areas to breeding seabirds.

Ecologists often leverage patterns observed across spatial climate gradients to predict the impacts of climate change (space-for-time substitution). We highlight evidence that this can be misleading n...
