Age-related changes in the gut microbiota of a long-lived seabird suggest divergence from mammalian models Open
Gut microbiota plays key roles in shaping host development, immunity, and physiology. The assembly of vertebrate gut microbiota during early life follows relatively predictable trajectories across several mammalian species, largely driven …

Ecosystems mediate climate impacts on northern hemisphere seabirds Open
Ecosystem structure and biophysical processes mediate biological responses to climate changes, but few studies have examined impacts of this dynamic among upper trophic levels. We investigated ecosystem differences in how diverse seabird p…

Global Marine Flyways Identified for Long‐Distance Migrating Seabirds From Tracking Data Open
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 Studi…

Collaborating with Marine Birds to Monitor the Physical Environment Within Coastal Marine Protected Areas Open
Animal telemetry is maturing into a viable method for observing the ocean as it can be used to monitor both environmental conditions and biological metrics along the movement trajectories of marine animals. As part of the Cormorant Oceanog…

Night flight facilitates late breeding catch-up in a long-distance migratory seabird Open
Long-distance migrants must optimise their timing of breeding to capitalise on resources at both breeding and over-wintering sites. In species with protracted breeding seasons, departing earlier on migration might be advantageous, but is c…

Long‐term multi‐species demographic studies reveal divergent negative impacts of winter storms on seabird survival Open
Understanding storm impacts on marine vertebrate demography requires detailed meteorological data in tandem with long‐term population monitoring. Yet most studies use storm proxies such as the North Atlantic Oscillation Index (NAOI), poten…

Behavioural responses of a trans-hemispheric migrant to climate oscillation Open
Large-scale climatic fluctuations, such as the El Niño–Southern Oscillation, can have dramatic effects on ocean ecosystem productivity. Many mobile species breeding in temperate or higher latitudes escape the extremes of seasonal climate v…

Differences in foraging range between white-tailed tropicbirds breeding on inner and outer Seychelles islands Open
The foraging ecology and distribution of Phaethontiformes, an order of tropical seabirds, remains generally poorly understood, despite being essential to inform their conservation. Here, we tracked, for the first time, the foraging movemen…

How do resource distribution and taxonomy affect the use of dual foraging in seabirds? A review Open
In many seabird species, parents feeding young switch between short and long foraging excursions in a strategy known as “dual foraging.” To investigate whether habitat quality near breeding colonies drives the use of dual foraging, we cond…

Global assessment of marine plastic exposure risk for oceanic birds Open
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 plastic is crucial …

Top‐down control of a marine mesopredator: Increase in native white‐tailed eagles accelerates the extinction of an endangered seabird population Open
Bottom‐up control is an important regulator of marine mesopredators such as seabirds. The prevalence of top‐down control on these species is however less well understood. In particular, how native predators affect seabird populations has r…

A new biologging approach reveals unique flightless molt strategies of Atlantic puffins Open
Animal‐borne telemetry devices provide essential insights into the life‐history strategies of far‐ranging species and allow us to understand how they interact with their environment. Many species in the seabird family Alcidae undergo a syn…

Optimization of dynamic soaring in a flap-gliding seabird affects its large-scale distribution at sea Open
Dynamic soaring harvests energy from a spatiotemporal wind gradient, allowing albatrosses to glide over vast distances. However, its use is challenging to demonstrate empirically and has yet to be confirmed in other seabirds. Here, we inve…
