Fine-scale behaviour and population estimates suggest low exposure but do not exclude high sensitivity to bycatch for Endangered sooty albatrosses

The paper uses GPS and boat location data to assess sooty albatross interactions with fisheries, finding low bycatch exposure but cautioning against excluding high sensitivity due to limited data.

BOTTOM-UP EFFECTS AND DENSITY DEPENDENCE DRIVE THE DYNAMIC OF AN ANTARCTIC SEABIRD PREDATOR-PREY SYSTEM

The paper investigates how environmental conditions and interspecific interactions influence the dynamics of an Antarctic seabird predator-prey system using a two-species integrated population model.

The challenges of independence: ontogeny of at-sea behaviour in a long-lived seabird

This study examines the ontogeny of foraging behavior in Amsterdam albatrosses, finding progressive improvements in foraging performance and sex-specific differences over time.

Multispecies integrated population model reveals bottom-up dynamics in a seabird predator-prey system

The paper uses multispecies integrated population models to show climate and predator-prey interactions drive seabird demography differently in a Southern Ocean system.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going: effect of extreme climate on an Antarctic seabird’s life history

The paper shows that in Antarctic seabirds, favorable conditions increase individual stochasticity's role in life history outcomes, while poor conditions increase trait heterogeneity's role.

Exploring the infection dynamics of a bacterial pathogen on a remote oceanic island reveals annual epizootics impacting an albatross population

The paper investigates the annual infection dynamics of Pasteurella multocida in albatrosses on Amsterdam Island, finding high prevalence and its link to mass die-offs of nestlings.

Sexual segregation in a highly pagophilic and sexually dimorphic marine predator

This study examines sexual segregation in snow petrels by analyzing foraging behavior, habitat use, and isotopic data, finding that females forage in areas with lower sea ice concentration and are more efficient in specific conditions.

Dealing with many correlated covariates in capture-recapture models

The paper introduces a method to handle high-dimensional and correlated covariates in capture-recapture models using principal component analysis to improve estimation and inference.
