Global patterns of sex-and age-specific variation in seabird bycatch
Fisheries bycatch is a major threat to seabird populations, and understanding sex-and age-
biases in bycatch rates is important for assessing population-level impacts. We analysed 44 …

Breeding density, fine‐scale tracking, and large‐scale modeling reveal the regional distribution of four seabird species
Population‐level estimates of species' distributions can reveal fundamental ecological
processes and facilitate conservation. However, these may be difficult to obtain for mobile …

Informing research priorities for immature sea turtles through expert elicitation
Although sea turtles have received substantial focus worldwide, research on the immature
life stages is still relatively limited. The latter is of particular importance, given that a large …
