Long-term within-season changes in the diet of Common Guillemot (Uria aalge) chicks at a North Sea colony: implications for dietary monitoring

Michael P. Harris et al.

Summary: During a period of over four decades, there were noticeable changes in the proportion of Lesser Sandeel in the diet of Common Guillemot chicks. As the availability of Sandeels decreased, they were mostly found in the early part of the chick period. These findings highlight the need for considering within-season variation in diet monitoring and further analysis across different species and sites to optimize sampling protocols.

Potential climate-driven changes to seabird demography: implications for assessments of marine renewable energy development

Kate R. Searle et al.

Summary: This study quantifies the climate effects on seabird breeding success in the North Sea, where rapid offshore renewable energy development is taking place. The research suggests that climate change will significantly impact the future breeding success of seabirds, and the current population viability analysis methods do not account for climate effects. The study recommends including climate-driven changes in seabird breeding success in offshore renewable energy development assessments.

Developing policy and practice for marine net gain

Tara Hooper et al.

Summary: Policies globally are increasingly focusing on ensuring no net loss of biodiversity in development projects, with a growing momentum towards achieving net gain, especially in marine environments. However, challenges range from lack of data to limitations in existing governance frameworks that need to be addressed in order to effectively implement a net gain strategy.

South Africa's experimental fisheries closures and recovery of the endangered African penguin

William J. Sydeman et al.

Summary: South Africa implemented a decade-long field experiment to understand the impact of fisheries on African penguins, showing that fisheries closures within the birds' primary foraging range increased breeding productivity. Recommendations include maintaining fisheries closures and establishing closed areas during the non-breeding season to increase penguin food supplies.

Temperature and body size affect recruitment and survival of sandeel across the North Sea

Ole Henriksen et al.

Summary: The study found that lesser sandeel have life stage-dependent responses to temperature, with fish size being the main factor affecting survival in the first year and autumn bottom temperature affecting abundance in the second year. Southerly areas, experiencing higher temperatures, showed the strongest response to temperature, shedding light on the population dynamics of this important forage fish in the North Sea.

Hemispheric asymmetry in ocean change and the productivity of ecosystem sentinels

W. J. Sydeman et al.

Summary: Climate change and human activities have profound effects on marine ecosystem productivity, particularly impacting seabird breeding success, with stronger effects on fish-eating species in the northern hemisphere; hence, ocean management at hemispheric scales and targeted recovery plans are necessary. In the southern hemisphere, lower changes in seabird productivity provide opportunities for strategic management approaches like establishing large marine protected areas to sustain food webs and predator productivity.

A verified distribution model for the lesser sandeel Ammodytes marinus

Rebecca Langton et al.

Summary: This study used species distribution models to predict the occurrence and density of lesser sandeels in the North Sea and Celtic Seas regions, finding that a hurdle model had the highest predictive performance. Percentage silt was the most important variable for predicting occurrence, and slope and sand percentage were significant factors influencing density.
