TL;DR: A comprehensive meta-analysis of 209 phenological time series from 145 breeding populations shows that, on average, seabird populations worldwide have not adjusted their breeding seasons over time or in response to sea surface temperature between 1952 and 2015.

TL;DR: The effects of prey availability on the reproductive performance of seabirds have been well documented for seasonal climates (Monaghan et al. 1992, Kitaysky et al., the authors ).

TL;DR: This work quantified the links among national populations of these threatened seabirds and the regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) which regulate fishing in the high seas, making explicit the relative responsibilities that each country and RFMO has for the management of shared biodiversity.

TL;DR: This article showed that the breeding success of seabirds is tracking hemispheric differences in ocean warming and human impacts, with the strongest effects on fish-eating, surface-foraging species in the north and lower-magnitude change in seabird productivity in the south.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the resident lesser noddy may have an advantage due to its response to a localised environmental cue, SST, in the pre-breeding phase, which may be correlated with prey availability in the waters surrounding the Houtman Abrolhos.
