Commuting in crosswinds and foraging in fast winds: the foraging ecology of a flying fish specialist Open
Understanding how the behaviour of volant species is influenced by winds is important at a time when global airflow patterns and intensities are shifting. We investigated how wind speeds and directions influenced the flight and feeding eve…

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…

Northern Gannet foraging trip length increases with colony size and decreases with latitude Open
Density-dependent competition for food influences the foraging behaviour and demography of colonial animals, but how this influence varies across a species’ latitudinal range is poorly understood. Here we used satellite tracking from 21 No…

A probabilistic time geographic approach to quantifying seabird‐vessel interactions Open
Accounting for uncertainty is essential for precautionary approaches to managing seabird bycatch in commercial fisheries. However, there is no existing mechanism to explicitly quantify the uncertainty of seabird‐vessel interactions (i.e. c…

Same data, different analysts: variation in effect sizes due to analytical decisions in ecology and evolutionary biology Open
Although variation in effect sizes and predicted values among studies of similar phenomena is inevitable, such variation far exceeds what might be produced by sampling error alone. One possible explanation for variation among results is di…

Handedness and individual roll-angle specialism when plunge diving in the northern gannet Open
Many vertebrates show lateralized behaviour, or handedness, where an individual preferentially uses one side of the body more than the other. This is generally thought to be caused by brain lateralization and allows functional specializati…

Co‐developing guidance for conservation: An example for seabirds in the North‐East Atlantic in the face of climate change impacts Open
Conservation guidance—an authoritative source of information and recommendations explicitly supporting decision‐making and action regarding nature conservation—represents an important tool to communicate evidence‐based advice to conservati…

Extracellular Vesicles from Fusarium graminearum Contain Protein Effectors Expressed during Infection of Corn Open
Fusarium graminearum (Fgr) is a devastating filamentous fungal pathogen that causes diseases in cereals, while producing mycotoxins that are toxic for humans and animals, and render grains unusable. Low efficiency in managing Fgr poses a c…

Direct evidence of a prey depletion “halo” surrounding a pelagic predator colony Open
Significance Elucidating the mechanisms that regulate animal populations is a fundamental goal in ecology and is increasingly important at a time of unprecedented anthropogenic disturbance to ecosystems. Here, we present direct evidence of…

First three-dimensional tracks for the Ascension Frigatebird Fregata aquila highlight the importance of altitude for behavioural studies Open
Identifying at-sea foraging areas is a longstanding goal for seabird ecology and conservation. GPS tracks can reveal behaviour because slow, tortuous flight often indicates searching linked to feeding attempts, but two-dimensional (2D) pat…

Gannets are not attracted to fishing vessels in Iceland—potential influence of a discard ban and food availability Open
Fisheries produce large amounts of waste, providing food subsidies for scavengers. Discards influence seabird movement, demography and community structure, but little is known about seabird–fishery interactions where discarding is banned. …

Sex differences in migration and demography of a wide-ranging seabird, the northern gannet Open
Marine vertebrates show a diversity of migration strategies, including sex differences. This may lead to differential demography, but the consequences of such between-sex variation are little understood. Here, we studied the migration of k…
