An illustrated key for identification of colour aberrations in alcids with a revision of nomenclature used Open
Colour aberrations of plumage or bare parts of the body have been described in many avian taxa but their frequency in populations is low. In recent years, due to the development of cameras and the ability to share observations via social m…

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…

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…

The first evidence of alloparental feeding in a crevice‐nesting seabird, the little auk Open
An alloparent is an individual that cares for a young individual, but it is not its genetic parent. This behaviour is known in many species of animals, but some groups are still underreported. Here, we documented, in camera footage, the al…

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…

Resource allocation underlies parental decision-making during incubation in the Manx Shearwater Open
For many bird species, trade-offs in resource allocation become stark during incubation, when caring demands put into direct conflict their investment in reproduction versus survival. We demonstrate the critical importance of resource allo…

Shearwaters sometimes take long homing detours when denied natural outward journey information Open
The cognitive processes (learning and processing of information) underpinning the long-distance navigation of birds are poorly understood. Here, we used the homing motivation of the Manx shearwater to investigate navigational decision maki…

Exploring the mechanisms of coordinated chick provisioning in the Manx shearwater <i>Puffinus puffinus</i> Open
Many species that provide care for their offspring in tandem with a partner coordinate their activities to maximise the efficiency of their investment. However, it is not well known exactly how this coordination is achieved. Manx shearwate…

Responses of Manx Shearwaters to Handicapping and Its Implications for the Coordination of Care Open
Seabirds care for their offspring in remote breeding colonies where foraging sites are distant and may be unpredictable, and where chicks are left unaccompanied for extended periods during their parents’ foraging trips, leaving them vulner…

Local prey shortages drive foraging costs and breeding success in a declining seabird, the Atlantic puffin Open
As more and more species face anthropogenic threats, understanding the causes of population declines in vulnerable taxa is essential. However, long‐term datasets, ideal to identify lasting or indirect effects on fitness measures such as th…

An assay to investigate factors influencing initial orientation in nocturnally fledging seabirds Open
The first solitary migration of juvenile birds is difficult to study because of a low juvenile survival rates and sometimes long delays in return to the breeding grounds. Consequently, little is known about this crucial life event for many…

The effect of light pollution on orientation in Manx shearwaters (Puffinus puffinus) Open
Humans introduce artificial light at night (ALAN) to the landscape for many reasons - to facilitate commuting to work, to improve their safety and to enhance the nocturnal aesthetics of places. The resulting change in light levels distorts…

Light pollution causes object collisions during local nocturnal manoeuvring flight by adult Manx Shearwaters Puffinus puffinus Open
Understanding the detrimental effects of anthropogenic light on nocturnally mobile animals is a long-standing problem in conservation biology. Seabirds such as shearwaters and petrels can be especially affected, perhaps because of their pr…

Grounding of thousands of newly fledged petrels and shearwaters (family Procellariidae) in built‐up areas due to artificial light is a global problem. Due to their anatomy these grounded birds find it difficult to take off from built‐up ar…
