      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 ...
    • Predicting the foraging patterns of wintering Auks using a sea surface temperature model for the Barents Sea 

      Hodges, Samuel; Erikstad, Kjell E.; Reiertsen, Tone Kristin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      1. The conservation of seabirds is increasingly important for their role as indicator species of ocean ecosystems, which are predicted to experience increasing levels of exploitation this century. Safeguarding these ...
    • Raising offspring increases ageing: Differences in senescence among three populations of a long-lived seabird, the Atlantic puffin 

      Landsem, Terje Lorentzen; Yoccoz, Nigel Gilles; Layton-Matthews, Kate; Hilde, Christoffer Høyvik; Harris, Michael P; Wanless, Sarah; Daunt, Francis; Reiertsen, Tone Kristin; Erikstad, Kjell E.; Anker-Nilssen, Tycho (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      1. Actuarial senescence, the decline of survival with age, is well documented in the wild. Rates of senescence vary widely between taxa, to some extent also between sexes, with the fastest life histories showing the highest ...
