TL;DR: There was considerable interspecific overlap in assumed trophic positions amongst the 4 petrel species, and it is concluded all species consumed fish and krill.

TL;DR: The Endangered Species Act (ESA) as mentioned in this paper is the most important legislation passed by the United States Congress to protect species and their habitats, and it has three major provisions (Rohlf 1989, Schwalbe 1993, Mueller 1994, NRC 1995, Easter-Pilcher 1996).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight research advances on the main threats for petrels (invasive species at breeding grounds, bycatch, overfishing, light pollution, climate change, and pollution) and propose an ambitious goal to reverse at least some of these six main threats, through active efforts such as restoring island habitats, improving policies and regulations at global and regional levels, and engaging local communities in conservation efforts.

TL;DR: The most urgently needed actions to mitigate and understand light-induced mortality of seabirds are estimation of mortality and effects on populations; determination of threshold light levels and safe distances from light sources; documentation of the fate of rescued birds; improvement of rescue campaigns; and research on seabird-friendly lights to reduce attraction.

TL;DR: A conceptual framework to identify globally important islands for invasive mammal eradications to prevent imminent extinctions of highly threatened species using biogeographic and technical factors, plus a novel approach to consider socio-political feasibility is developed.
