TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the performance of five modelling techniques (generalised linear models, generalised additive models, Random Forest, boosted regression trees, and maximum entropy) to predict the distribution of Balearic Shearwaters (Puffinus mauretanicus) along the coast of the western Iberian Peninsula.

TL;DR: A review of the development and spread of the IBA concept since it was launched by BirdLife International (then ICBP) in 1979 and examine some of the characteristics of the resulting inventory can be found in this article.

TL;DR: There was a significant positive correlation between the percentage of short foraging trips in the different breeding sites and the concentration of chlorophyll-a in the waters surrounding those sites, indicating that birds adapted their modes of predation to cope with the diverse dis- tribution of their prey items.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a simple method to systematically rank IAS according to their maximum potential threat to biodiversity in the EU, and identified 1,323 species as potential candidates for listing, and evaluated them against their invasion stages and reported impacts, using information from databases and scientific literature.

TL;DR: Core feeding areas and areas of foraging overlap between different populations should be important to inform conservation management measures, such as the definition of Marine Important Bird Areas for seabirds over the North Atlantic.
