Abstract Knowledge of fisheries impacts, past and present, is essential for understanding the
ecology and conservation of seabirds, but in a rapidly changing world, knowledge and …

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 …

Over the past 4 decades there has been a growing concern for the conservation status of
elasmobranchs (sharks and rays). In 2002, the first elasmobranch species were added to …

Marine wildlife faces a growing number of threats across the globe, and the survival of many
species and populations will be dependent on conservation action. One threat in particular …

Fisheries bycatch is considered the most serious threat globally to long‐lived marine
megafauna (eg, mammals, birds, turtles, elasmobranchs). However, bycatch assessments to …

The field of marine tagging and tracking has grown rapidly in recent years as tag sizes have
decreased and the diversity of sensors has increased. Tag data provide a unique view on …

Population‐level estimates of species' distributions can reveal fundamental ecological
processes and facilitate conservation. However, these may be difficult to obtain for mobile …

Based in part on a symposium held at the first World Seabird Conference in September,
2010 in Victoria, BC, Canada, we present a Theme Section (TS) on the topic of seabirds and …

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 …

Tracking devices are useful in studying the movement and behaviour of birds throughout the
year. However, the effects of device attachment must be monitored for bird welfare and the …
