June 19th marks the anniversary of the signing of ACAP (Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels), a multilateral environmental agreement that seeks to conserve the 31 listed species (all 22 albatrosses, both giant petrels, all five Procellaria petrels, and two shearwater species).
Predicting how wild populations will respond to rapid environmental shifts remains a major challenge in ecology. While we know that changing sea-ice dynamics affects seabirds, the exact mechanisms connecting environmental variations to colony or population responses are often missing. To bridge this gap, we
