In late summer and autumn, the passage of intense tropical cyclones can profoundly perturb oceanic and coastal ecosystems. Direct negative effects on individuals and marine communities can be dramatic, especially in the coastal zone, but cyclones ca... Read More about Oceanic seabirds chase tropical cyclones..

Diet of non-breeding leach’s storm-petrels ( Hydrobates leucorhous ) in the sub-polar frontal zone of the North Atlantic (2024)
Journal Article
Silva, M. C., Catry, P., Newton, J., Nunes, V. L., & Wakefield, E. D. (2024). Diet of non-breeding leach’s storm-petrels ( Hydrobates leucorhous ) in the sub-polar frontal zone of the North Atlantic. Marine Biology, 171(8), Article 148. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00227-024-04469-4

In order to understand the drivers of the distribution and abundance of pelagic seabirds it is necessary to know what they eat, yet there remains little detailed, geo-referenced information on the diets of pelagic seabird. In particular, due to sampl... Read More about Diet of non-breeding leach’s storm-petrels ( Hydrobates leucorhous ) in the sub-polar frontal zone of the North Atlantic.

Extreme snowstorms lead to large-scale seabird breeding failures in Antarctica (2001)
Journal Article
Descamps, S., Hudson, S., Sulich, J., Wakefield, E., Grémillet, D., Carravieri, A., …Steen, H. (2023). Extreme snowstorms lead to large-scale seabird breeding failures in Antarctica. Current Biology, 33(5), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2022.12.055

Climate change increases the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events that negatively impact wildlife, from individuals to whole ecosystems1. In polar environments, such events include heat waves2, anomalous sea ice concentrations3 and storm... Read More about Extreme snowstorms lead to large-scale seabird breeding failures in Antarctica.
