Changes in Wind Pattern Alter Albatross Distribution and Life-History Traits

TL;DR: Foraging range in wandering albatrosses has shifted poleward in conjunction with changes in wind pattern, while their rates of travel and flight speeds have increased, and the duration of foraging trips has decreased, breeding success has improved, and birds have increased in mass.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of five modelling techniques to predict the spatial distribution and abundance of seabirds

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

BioTIME: A database of biodiversity time series for the Anthropocene

Maria Dornelas, +286 more
TL;DR: The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and abundances in ecological assemblages through time to enable users to calculate temporal trends in biodiversity within and amongst assemblage using a broad range of metrics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fishery discards impact on seabird movement patterns at regional scales

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that fisheries modify the natural way in which two Mediterranean seabirds explore the seascape to look for resources during the breeding season, and human involvement on landscape-level behavioral ecology is demonstrated and a new ecosystemic approach is provided in the study of fishery-seabird interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oceanographic habitat of an endangered mediterranean procellariiform: implications for marine protected areas

TL;DR: The habitat use by the most threatened Mediterranean seabird, the Balearic Shearwater, Puffinus mauretanicus, is assessed using vessel-based surveys during the chick-rearing period and a hierarchical modeling approach is used to identify those environmental variables that most accurately reflected the oceanographic habitat of this species.
