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
Wide-ranging seabirds present a fundamental conservation challenge: they spend much of their lives beyond protected areas and outside the boundaries of national jurisdictions. New tracking data from Juan Fernández Petrels highlight their ocean-wide movements and the potential risks they face along the way.
