- Abstract
Each winter, the North Atlantic Ocean is the stage for numerous cyclones, the most severe ones leading to seabird mass-mortality events called “winter wrecks.” During these, thousands of emaciated seabird carcasses are washed ashore along European and North American coasts. Winter cyclones can therefore shape seabird population dynamics by affecting survival rates as well as the body condition of surviving individuals and thus their future reproduction. However, most often the geographic origins of impacted seabirds and the causes of their deaths remain unclear. We performed the first ocean-basin scale assessment of cyclone exposure in a seabird community by coupling winter tracking data for ∼1,500 individuals of five key North Atlantic seabird species (Alle alle, Fratercula arctica, Uria aalge, Uria lomvia, and Rissa tridactyla) and cyclone locations. We then explored the energetic consequences of different cyclonic conditions using a mechanistic bioenergetics model and tested the hypothesis that cyclones dramatically increase seabird energy requirements. We demonstrated that cyclones of high intensity impacted birds from all studied species and breeding colonies during winter but especially those aggregating in the Labrador Sea, the Davis Strait, the surroundings of Iceland, and the Barents Sea. Our broad-scale analyses suggested that cyclonic conditions do not increase seabird energy requirements, implying that they die because of the unavailability of their prey and/or their inability to feed during cyclones. Our study provides essential information on seabird cyclone exposure in a context of marked cyclone regime changes due to global warming.

- Abstract
The conservation of migratory marine species, including pelagic seabirds, is challenging because their movements span vast distances frequently beyond national jurisdictions. Here, we aim to identify important aggregations of seabirds in the North Atlantic to inform ongoing regional conservation efforts. Using tracking, phenology, and population data, we mapped the abundance and diversity of 21 seabird species. This revealed a major hotspot associated with a discrete area of the subpolar frontal zone, used annually by 2.9–5 million seabirds from ≥56 colonies in the Atlantic: the first time this magnitude of seabird concentrations has been documented in the high seas. The hotspot is temporally stable and amenable to site-based conservation and is under consideration as a marine protected area by the OSPAR Commission. Protection could help mitigate current and future threats facing species in the area. Overall, our approach provides an exemplar data-driven pathway for future conservation efforts on the high seas.

- Abstract
Species breeding at high latitudes face a significant challenge of surviving the winter. Such conditions are particularly severe for diurnal marine endotherms such as seabirds. A critical question is therefore what behavioural strategies such species adopt to maximise survival probability. We tested 3 hypotheses: (1) they migrate to lower latitudes to exploit longer day length (‘sun-chasing’), (2) they forage at night (‘night-feeding’), or (3) they target high-quality food patches to minimise foraging time (‘feasting’). We studied the winter migration and foraging strategies of European shags Phalacrocorax aristotelis from 6 colonies across a latitudinal gradient from temperate regions to north of the Arctic Circle using geolocators deployed over 11 winters. We found evidence for ‘sun-chasing’, whereby average southerly movements were greatest from colonies at higher latitudes. However, a proportion of individuals from higher latitudes remained resident in winter and, in the absence of daylight, they foraged during twilight and only very occasionally during the night. At lower latitudes, there was little evidence that individuals migrated south, nocturnal feeding was absent, and twilight feeding was infrequent, suggesting that there was sufficient daylight in winter. There was no evidence that winter foraging time was lowest at higher latitudes, as predicted by the ‘feasting’ hypothesis. Our results suggest that shags adopt different behavioural strategies to survive the winter across their latitudinal range, dictated by the differing light constraints. Our study highlights the value of multi-colony studies in testing key hypotheses to explain population persistence in seabird species that occur over large latitudinal ranges.

- Abstract
We explored the implications of reaching the Paris Agreement Objective of limiting global warming to <2°C for the future winter distribution of the North Atlantic seabird community. We predicted and quantified current and future winter habitats of five North Atlantic Ocean seabird species (Alle alle, Fratercula arctica, Uria aalge, Uria lomvia and Rissa tridactyla) using tracking data for ~1500 individuals through resource selection functions based on mechanistic modeling of seabird energy requirements, and a dynamic bioclimate envelope model of seabird prey. Future winter distributions were predicted to shift with climate change, especially when global warming exceed 2°C under a “no mitigation” scenario, modifying seabird wintering hotspots in the North Atlantic Ocean. Our findings suggest that meeting Paris agreement objectives will limit changes in seabird selected habitat location and size in the North Atlantic Ocean during the 21st century. We thereby provide key information for the design of adaptive marine‐protected areas in a changing ocean.

This study aims to determine the level of movement of individuals between the Icelandic and Northwest Mainland European (NWME) Whooper Swan Cygnus cygnus populations, and to assess the extent to which this interchange affects total population estimates. Ringing, resighting and recovery data for Whooper Swans ringed across Europe since the early 1900s were compiled from the EURING Data Bank, national ringing schemes and individual ringers. Birds were assigned to the biogeographical population (Icelandic or NWME) in which they were ringed. Of >18 000 Whooper Swans ringed in 17 European countries, 172 individuals (0.94%) were later found outside the nominal range of their assigned biogeographical population. The proportion of ringed swans from the Icelandic population that were subsequently found 'out of range' did not differ significantly from the proportion recorded for the NWME population, indicating no directional bias in population interchange. Population switching by Whooper Swans in western Europe occurs consistently, but currently at very low levels. Our results reinforce the view that such levels of population interchange are unlikely to have caused major inaccuracies or biases in the total numbers recorded during the coordinated censuses used to estimate population size.

- Abstract
The Arctic is entering a new ecological state, with alarming consequences for humanity. Animal-borne sensors offer a window into these changes. Although substantial animal tracking data from the Arctic and subarctic exist, most are difficult to discover and access. Here, we present the new Arctic Animal Movement Archive (AAMA), a growing collection of more than 200 standardized terrestrial and marine animal tracking studies from 1991 to the present. The AAMA supports public data discovery, preserves fundamental baseline data for the future, and facilitates efficient, collaborative data analysis. With AAMA-based case studies, we document climatic influences on the migration phenology of eagles, geographic differences in the adaptive response of caribou reproductive phenology to climate change, and species-specific changes in terrestrial mammal movement rates in response to increasing temperature.

Since 1974 a population study of Black Guillemots has been conducted on Flatey Island, NW Iceland. The main aspects are summarized below. Population numbers and distribution. The population has been censused several years, also those of 20 islets near Flatey. Information was collected on past status. Great changes have occurred since turn of the century. Last major change began in 1967; the population started increasing of such a scale that it can only have resulted from massive immigration. These changes are thought to be due to rats and Mink. Attendance and population structure. Data was gathered on timing of spring return to nesting areas, status of attending birds, sex ratio, area and nest-site fidelity, pair-bond maintenance, and post-breeding departure. Special attention has been given to the problem of censusing birds attending nesting areas. Breeding biology. Breeding biology variables were quantified and studied on a seasonal basisj;timing of laying, clutch size, interval between eggs, egg size, reproductive output, lengths of incubation and nestling periods. Supernormal clutch and brood experiments were conducted. I looked at length of replacement time of lost clutches, factors influencing timing of laying, its effect and that of clutch and egg size on breeding performance. Egg and chick losses were analyzed. Many interesting population phenomena seem to have been associated with the unusually rapid population increase. Feeding ecology. Analyses were made of prey taken, feeding rhythm and areas, and factors influencing feeding rate and prey selection. Some information was collected on share of the sexes in feeding chicks, and kleptoparasitism. Study was made of chick growth, fledging condition and postfledging survival. Population dynamics. About 3300 birds were ringed, providing basis for determining age at maturity, adult survival, and mortality. Pre-breeding survival was calculated using data from ringing schemes. A population model was constructed for the population, showing magnitude of immigration. Ringing provided data on dispersal.

- Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study aims to determine the level of movement of individuals between the Icelandic and Northwest Mainland European (NWME) Whooper Swan Cygnus cygnuspopulations, and to assess the extent to which this interchange affects total population estimates. Ringing, resighting and recovery data for Whooper Swans ringed across Europe since the early 1900s were compiled from the EURING Data Bank, national ringing schemes and individual ringers. Birds were assigned to the biogeographical population (Icelandic or NWME) in which they were ringed. Of >18 000 Whooper Swans ringed in 17 European countries, 172 individuals (0.94%) were later found outside the nominal range of their assigned biogeographical population. The proportion of ringed swans from the Icelandic population that were subsequently found ‘out of range’ did not differ significantly from the proportion recorded for the NWME population, indicating no directional bias in population interchange. Population switching by Whooper Swans in western Europe occurs consistently, but currently at very low levels. Our results reinforce the view that such levels of population interchange are unlikely to have caused major inaccuracies or biases in the total numbers recorded during the coordinated censuses used to estimate population size.

- Abstract
Worldwide, incidental bycatch in fisheries is a conservation threat to many seabird species. Although knowledge on bycatch of seabirds has increased in the last decade, most stems from longline fisheries and the impacts of coastal gillnet fisheries are poorly understood. Gillnet fishing for North Atlantic lumpsucker (Cyclopterus lumpus) is one such fishery. We collated and synthesized the available information on seabird bycatch in lumpsucker gillnet fisheries across the entire geographical range to estimate and infer the magnitude of their impact on the affected seabird populations. Most birds killed were diving ducks, cormorants and auks, and each year locally high numbers of seabirds were taken as bycatch. We found large differences in bycatch rates among countries. The estimated mean bycatch in Iceland was 2.43 birds/trip, while the estimates in Norway was 0.44 and 0.39 birds/trip, respectively. The large disparities between estimates might reflect large spatial differences in bycatch rates, but could partly also arise due to distinctions in data recorded by onboard inspectors (Iceland), self-administered registration (Norway) and direct observations by cameras (Denmark). We show that lumpsucker gillnet fisheries might pose a significant risk to some populations of diving seabirds. However, a distinct data deficiency on seabird bycatch in terms of spatio-temporal coverage and the age and origins of the birds killed, limited our abilities to fully assess the extent and population consequences of the bycatch. Our results highlight the need for a joint effort among countries to standardize monitoring methods to better document the impact of these fisheries on seabirds.

- Abstract
Non-breeding movement strategies of migratory birds may be expected to be flexibly adjusted to the distribution and quality of habitat, but few studies compare movement strategies among populations using distinct migration routes and wintering areas. In our study, individual movement strategies of red-necked phalaropes (Phalaropus lobatus), a long-distance migratory wader which uses saline waters in the non-breeding period, were studied using light-level geolocators. Results revealed a migratory divide between two populations with distinct migration routes and wintering areas: one breeding in the north-eastern North Atlantic and migrating ca. 10,000 km oversea to the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean, and the other breeding in Fennoscandia and Russia migratingca. 6,000 km—largely over land—to the Arabian Sea (Indian Ocean). In line with our expectations, the transoceanic migration between the North Atlantic and the Pacific was associated with proportionately longer wings, a more even spread of stopovers in autumn and a higher migration speed in spring compared to the migration between Fennoscandian-Russian breeding grounds and the Arabian Sea. In the wintering period, van Bemmelen et al. Contrasting Movement Strategies in Phalaropes birds wintering in the Pacific were stationary in roughly a single area, whereas individuals wintering in the Arabian Sea moved extensively between different areas, reflecting differences in spatio-temporal variation in primary productivity between the two wintering areas. Our study is unique in showing how habitat distribution shapes movement strategies over the entire non-breeding period within a species.

Identifying temporal and spatial patterns in demography is critical to understanding long‐term fluctuations in population size. Common Eider Somateria mollissima numbers have shown a long‐term decline, resulting in the species being uplisted in 2015 to 'Endangered' within European Union countries. Obtaining improved estimates of survival rates of Common Eiders (and other seaducks) has been identified as a priority to improve our understanding of the demographic causes of the observed global decreases in population size and to inform conservation efforts. In this study, we used long‐term (1982–2017) mark–recovery data on 3018 individuals from three breeding colonies in Iceland to quantify the spatial and temporal variation in the annual true survival rates of adult female Common Eider. Model comparison using an information‐theoretic approach indicated that true survival and recovery rates varied between years and colonies but showed no consistent temporal pattern across the three colonies. Geometric mean (± se) annual true survival across our three breeding colonies was 0.916 ± 0.017 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.819–0.961), with a mean life expectancy of 11.8 years (95% CI 5.4–25.2). Our survival estimates were relatively high compared with those reported previously for many other Common Eider populations, which may reflect their protected status, low predation pressure and high food availability on Iceland and its surrounding waters. Our findings provide spatially and temporally explicit demographic information needed to help conservationists understand the local and global declines in Common Eider populations.

- Abstract
Which factors shape animals’ migration movements across large geographical scales, how different migratory strategies emerge between populations, and how these may affect population dynamics are central questions in the field of animal migration [1] that only large-scale studies of migration patterns across a species’ range can answer [2]. To address these questions, we track the migration of 270 Atlantic puffins Fratercula arctica, a red-listed, declining seabird, across their entire breeding range. We investigate the role of demographic, geographical, and environmental variables in driving spatial and behavioral differences on an ocean-basin scale by measuring puffins’ among-colony differences in migratory routes and day-to-day behavior (estimated with individual daily activity budgets and energy expenditure). We show that competition and local winter resource availability are important drivers of migratory movements, with birds from larger colonies or with poorer local winter conditions migrating further and visiting less-productive waters; this in turn led to differences in flight activity and energy expenditure. Other behavioral differences emerge with latitude, with foraging effort and energy expenditure increasing when birds winter further north in colder waters. Importantly, these ocean-wide migration patterns can ultimately be linked with breeding performance: colony productivity is negatively associated with wintering latitude, population size, and migration distance, which demonstrates the cost of competition and migration on future breeding and the link between non-breeding and breeding periods. Our results help us to understand the drivers of animal migration and have important implications for population dynamics and the conservation of migratory species.

Black guillemot ,Ecology ,Food ,Iceland ,Breeding ,Flatey - Abstract
Since 1974 a population study of Black Guillemots has been conducted on Flatey Island, NW Iceland. The main aspects are summarized below. Population numbers and distribution. The population has been censused several years, also those of 20 islets near Flatey. Information was collected on past status. Great changes have occurred since turn of the century. Last major change began in 1967; the population started increasing of such a scale that it can only have resulted from massive immigration. These changes are thought to be due to rats and Mink. Attendance and population structure. Data was gathered on timing of spring return to nesting areas, status of attending birds, sex ratio, area and nest-site fidelity, pair-bond maintenance, and post-breeding departure. Special attention has been given to the problem of censusing birds attending nesting areas. Breeding biology. Breeding biology variables were quantified and studied on a seasonal basisj;timing of laying, clutch size, interval between eggs, egg size, reproductive output, lengths of incubation and nestling periods. Supernormal clutch and brood experiments were conducted. I looked at length of replacement time of lost clutches, factors influencing timing of laying, its effect and that of clutch and egg size on breeding performance. Egg and chick losses were analyzed. Many interesting population phenomena seem to have been associated with the unusually rapid population increase. Feeding ecology. Analyses were made of prey taken, feeding rhythm and areas, and factors influencing feeding rate and prey selection. Some information was collected on share of the sexes in feeding chicks, and kleptoparasitism. Study was made of chick growth, fledging condition and postfledging survival. Population dynamics. About 3300 birds were ringed, providing basis for determining age at maturity, adult survival, and mortality. Pre-breeding survival was calculated using data from ringing schemes. A population model was constructed for the population, showing magnitude of immigration. Ringing provided data on dispersal.
