A framework for mapping the distribution of seabirds by integrating tracking demography and phenology

Here we develop a methodological framework for estimating population level density distributions of seabirds, integrating tracking data across the main life-history stages (adult breeders and non-breeders, juveniles and immatures). We incorporate demographic information (adult and juvenile/immature survival, breeding frequency and success, age at first breeding) and phenological data (average timing of breeding and migration) to weight distribution maps according to the proportion of the population represented by each life-history stage.

Albatrosses

Seabird Species The largest seabird species are wide-ranging and migratory. Albatrosses (family Diomedeidae) are a group of 22 species which breed in the North Pacific and around the Southern Ocean. These birds are

Nobody knows where juvenile Grey-headed Albatrosses go: until now

Too many youngsters were going missing after fledging. With no knowledge of where they fly to, it was much harder to halt their decline. Now, nine satellite-tagged juveniles have successfully left the nest. We can watch their journey – and so can you.
