Factors determining the number of seabirds impacted by oil spills and the success of their rehabilitation: Lessons learned from Namibia and South Africa

Ralph E. T. Vanstreels et al.

Summary: The coastal waters of Namibia and South Africa have a long history of oil spills, with 71 recorded up to 2021. These spills have had significant impacts on seabirds, particularly African penguins (91.0%) and Cape gannets (8.5%). The main sources of these spills include unknown origins, bulk/cargo carriers, tankers, and ship-to-ship transfers. Monitoring the breeding population size within a specific range has shown to predict the number of oiled penguins, while the admission day of oiled birds is indicative of their rehabilitation success.

Using beached bird data to assess seabird oiling susceptibility

Jazzmine K. Waugh et al.

Summary: This study investigates the susceptibility of seabirds to oil spills using baseline beached bird abundance data and data from specific oil spill incidents in the northeast Pacific. The results suggest that different seabird species have varying vulnerability to oiling.

Variability in Foraging Range and Direction Among Colonies in a Widespread Seabird, the Magellanic Penguin

Ginger A. Rebstock et al.

Summary: Satellite tracking of seabirds is crucial for understanding their foraging patterns and potential conflicts with human activities in the ocean. This study focused on Magellanic penguins and found that assumptions commonly made regarding foraging distance, colony size, and distribution around colonies may not hold true for all colonies. The findings highlight the importance of considering temporal and spatial dynamics in marine planning and conservation efforts.

Population distribution shifts of Magellanic Penguins in northern Patagonia, Argentina: Implications for conservation and management strategies

Pablo Garcia-Borboroglu et al.

Summary: Wildlife population dynamics and changes in their distribution and abundance can impact conservation efforts. This study focused on the Magellanic penguin and found considerable changes in their breeding distribution within a relatively short timeframe. These dynamic changes present new challenges for conservation efforts, emphasizing the importance of long-term monitoring and coordination among resource managers in different jurisdictions where the penguins breed.

Should I stay or should I go: factors influencing mate retention and divorce in a colonial seabird

Eric L. Wagner et al.

Summary: The study found that divorce can have different impacts on the reproductive success of serially monogamous birds, depending on whether an individual obtains a higher-quality mate or nest site. Breeding outcome and changes in nest quality are important factors affecting whether birds stay together as a pair. Although divorce can have some fitness consequences, it is also adaptive for responding to environmental changes.

Maritime traffic trends around the southern tip of Africa - Did marine noise pollution contribute to the local penguins' collapse?

Lorien Pichegru et al.

Summary: The rapid increase in seaborn trade since the 1990s has led to an increase in vessel-derived noise pollution. A recent study in Algoa Bay, South Africa, a marine biodiversity hotspot, shows that ship-to-ship bunkering operations initiated in 2016 have significantly increased underwater noise levels, leading to a drastic decline in African penguin numbers since then.

Dynamic strategies offer potential to reduce lethal ship collisions with large whales under changing climate conditions

Arjun Hausner et al.

Summary: This study compared different dynamic ocean management strategies in the Southern California Bight for blue whale ship strike management, finding that dynamic strategies significantly improved whale protection, especially during a marine heatwave event. The research highlights the importance of assessing tradeoffs between conservation goals and human activities over a range of environmental conditions when evaluating the robustness of management strategies to climate change.

Spatial use of multiple jurisdictions by Magellanic penguins and assessment of potential conflicts in the face of changing trawl fisheries scenarios

Pablo Yorio et al.

Summary: Seabirds, particularly Magellanic penguins, were studied in terms of their spatial use and interaction with fisheries in the Patagonia Austral Marine Park. The penguins mainly foraged in provincial waters with relatively low overlap with fishing fleets. Monitoring of these interactions and potential threats is needed due to changing fishing patterns.

Consequences of phenological shifts and a compressed breeding period in Magellanic penguins

Caroline D. Cappello et al.

Summary: This study examined the consequences of delayed breeding in Magellanic penguins at Punta Tombo in Argentina using 34 years of data. The research found that the delayed onset of breeding had significant impacts on chick growth and fledgling condition, highlighting the importance of studying phenological shifts across multiple life events to understand their effects on organismal fitness.
