Outside the breeding season, small pelagic seabirds are particularly challenging to study due to their large geographic ranges and high mobility. Consequently, their non‐breeding distribution and activity patterns are often poorly known. However, the non‐breeding period is of critical importance, encompassing both migration and flight feather moult. We combined miniaturised geolocator‐immersion loggers (GLS) with carbon and ni...

Bonnethead and Caribbean sharpnose sharks frequent coastal waters, rendering them vulnerable to overexploitation, with the bonnethead shark listed as endangered by the IUCN. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been suggested as a management strategy to regulate shark-exploitation. Moreover, it’s essential to identify key areas where nursery grounds (NG) and adult habitats overlap to prioritize conservation zones within MPAs. Al...

Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are found in Antarctic wildlife, with high levels in the avian top predator south polar skua ( Catharacta maccormicki ). As increasing PFAS concentrations were found in the south polar skua during the breeding season in Antarctica, we hypothesised that available prey during the breeding period contributes significantly to the PFAS contamination in skuas. To test this, we compared PFAS...
