The study of parental food provisioning is essential for understanding the breeding ecology of birds.We conducted the first study using accelerometry to detect food provisioning in birds,using Support Vector Machine(S...
Seabirds are valuable indicators of marine ecosystem processes and studying seabird diets can shed light on natural or human-induced variability in food-web composition.Specifically single-prey loading seabird species...

Through ingestion and subsequent egestion,Arctic seabirds can bioaccumulate microplastics at and around their colony breeding sites.While microplastics in Arctic seabirds have been well documented,it is not yet unders...
Seabird and marine mammal at-sea distribution in the western Bering Sea and along the eastern Kamtchatka(Kamtsjatka)Peninsula was determined during 114 transect counts,lasting 30 min each,in September 2018.A total of ...
Animal-attached technologies can be powerful means to quantify space use and behavior;however,there are also ethical implications associated with capturing and instrumenting animals.Furthermore,tagging approaches are ...
This article is part of our long-term study on the quantitative at-sea distribution of the marine "upper trophic levels"—seabirds and marine mammals—in polar ecosystems, aiming at quantifying the factors influencing...
performed within the framework of the ECODISC project,entitled“ECOsystem effect of fisheries DISCards”,partially funded by the NSRF 2007-2013 Operational Programme“Education and Lifelong Learning”,which is cofinanced by Greece and the European Union;Fisheries data were collected within the framework of the 2014 Greek National Fisheries Data Collection Programme(EPSAD)funded by the Greek Government and the European Union under Regulation 199/2008/EU
Background: The banning of fisheries discards by imposing an obligation to land unwanted catch constitutes a key point of the Common Fishery Policy reform proposed by the European Commission. The effect of such a ban ...
