A new paper suggests that low rates of #seabird dispersal between breeding colonies can limit capacity for population recovery. The more geographically isolated a colony is, the less likely it is to receive immigrants to facilitate a bounce-back.

#Publication led by Alice Trevail & Hannah Wood out last month in Marine Ecology Progress Series (MEPS)!

Tracking of red-footed boobies across multiple colonies revealed segregation in foraging range, space use, and timing 🗺️⌛️

Our article, 'Correlation between seabirds and fisheries varies by species at fine-scale pattern,' doi.org/10.1093/icesjm… has been included in the special issue 'IMPACTS OF FISHING ON SEABIRDS' academic.oup.com/icesjms/issue/…

Lovely paper, well done Alice Trevail, @Marine_Hannah and everyone else in the team!

.ICES has published a set of papers on critical threats to #seabirds from #bycatch & other human activities, with potential solutions, such as bird-scaring lines, which have been found to be hugely effective in many #fisheries around the world 👉 buff.ly/3RnxKZ5
