TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tracked adults from colonies throughout the Atlantic range over the non-breeding season using light-based geolocation, and estimated the size and composition of wintering populations using information on breeding population size.

TL;DR: It is shown that black-legged kittiwakes that experienced breeding failure left their colony in southeast Scotland earlier than successful breeders, and macro-scale segregation associated with breeding outcome is relevant to defining important wintering areas, in particular among declining species experiencing increasingly regular breeding failure.

TL;DR: The flexible foraging strategy of European shags is highlighted and how image and dive data can be combined to improve the understanding of the factors influencing the foraging success of benthic feeders is illustrated.

TL;DR: For early warning indicators to be effective tools for preventative management of ecosystem change, it is recommended that multivariate approaches of a suite of potential indicators are adopted, incorporating analyses of anthropogenic drivers and process-based understanding.

TL;DR: Trophic mismatch appears to be prevalent within the North Sea pelagic food web, suggesting that ecosystem functioning may be disrupted and trophic mismatching is occurring.
