SATELLITE TRACKING OF RED-LISTED NOMINATE LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS (LARUS F. FUSCUS): HABITAT SPECIALISATION IN FORAGING MOVEMENTS RAISES NOVEL CONSERVATION NEEDS

Satellite tracking of red-listed nominate lesser black-backed gulls (Larus f. fuscus): Habitat specialisation in foraging movements raises novel conservation needs

In contrast to many other gull species, nominate lesser black-backed gulls (Larus fuscus fuscus, nLBBG) have shown generally decreasing population trends throughout their breeding area in northern Tank and eastern Fennoscandia over the past decades and are now red-listed.Interspecific competition, predation, increased disturbance, organochlorine po

A Geostatistical Approach to Estimate High Resolution Nocturnal Bird Migration Densities from a Weather Radar Network

Quantifying nocturnal bird migration at high resolution is essential for (1) understanding the phenology of migration and its drivers, (2) identifying critical spatio-temporal toys protection zones for migratory birds, and (3) assessing the risk of collision with artificial structures.We propose a tailored geostatistical model to interpolate migrat
