Bycatch is a conservation concern for marine biodiversity, including seabirds. Analyses of
spatio-temporal overlap are an important tool for identifying areas and periods where birds …

Background State-space models, such as Hidden Markov Models (HMMs), are increasingly
used to classify animal tracks into behavioural states. Typically, step length and turning …

Many animals are highly adapted to cover vast distances in search of ephemeral food
resources. Pelagic seabirds have particularly wide-ranging foraging trips, made possible …

Seabirds interact with fishing vessels to consume fishing discards and baits, sometimes
resulting in incidental capture (bycatch) and the death of the bird, which has clear …

Background Recent technological advances have resulted in low-cost GPS loggers that are
small enough to be used on a range of seabirds, producing accurate location estimates (±5 …

Understanding population dynamics requires estimation of demographic parameters like
mortality and productivity. Because obtaining the necessary data for such parameters can be …

Many wildlife species consume food or refuse provided by humans. To understand the effect
of anthropogenic food subsidies on wildlife populations, we first need to quantify where and …

The Patagonian shelf-break represents the transition zone from the relatively shallow waters
of the continental shelf to the deep plains exceeding 2000 m depth. Along this pronounced …

[eng] Seabirds and fisheries share the same fishing resources and grounds, resulting in their
inevitable interaction, with significant conservation implications for the firsts. Seabirds …
