Understanding encounters between marine predators and fisheries across national borders
and outside national jurisdictions offers new perspectives on unwanted interactions to inform …

Diet and trophic relationships of New Zealand albatrosses are poorly known, while
comprehensive information on their feeding ecology are needed in an ecological and …

ABSTRACT Common Diving Petrels (Pelecanoides urinatrix urinatrix) are distributed widely
around coastal New Zealand and breed primarily on predator-free offshore islands. Despite …

Fisheries produce large amounts of waste, providing food subsidies for scavengers.
Discards influence seabird movement, demography and community structure, but little is …

Background Fishing activities can influence foraging behaviour of many seabird species
worldwide. Seabirds are attracted by fishing vessels which can facilitate access to demersal …

Fisheries have impacted seabird populations worldwide, either via bycatch mortality or
resource depletion. Understanding the overlap between seabird distributions and fisheries …

Inter-individual variation in behavioural traits has important implications for evolutionary and
ecological processes. Site fidelity, where individuals consistently use the same foraging site …

Even though incidental captures in fisheries are one of the major threats to seabirds, bycatch
has been difficult to quantify and specific risk areas are rarely identified. The present study …

Accounting for uncertainty is essential for precautionary approaches to managing seabird
bycatch in commercial fisheries. However, there is no existing mechanism to explicitly …

Few studies have assessed the influence of data quality on the predicted probability of
occurrence and preferred habitat of marine predators. We compared results from four …
