Defining ecologically-relevant scales for spatial protection using long-term data on an endangered seabird and local prey availability

2016-06-14

Abstract excerpt

Human activities are important drivers of marine ecosystem functioning. However, teasing apart the synergistic effects of fishing and environmental variability on the prey base of non-target predators is difficult, often because estimates of prey availability on appropriate scales are lacking. Hence, understanding the links between direct measures of prey abundance and population change can help integrate the need...
