Description

Seabirds are global travellers connecting oceans and seas all over the world, and facing multiple threats at local and global scales.

Seabirds are long-lived top predators, reflecting changes at lower trophic levels, and are good models to assess ecological changes produced by human societies.

Thus, world-wide collaborations are needed to understand seabird ecology and to develop effective conservation measures benefitting both humans and seabird populations. This book provides a modern overview on seabird biodiversity studies: it begins by covering the most up-to-date techniques to study seabirds, and then focus on pragmatic issues related with interactions between seabirds and humans, the use of seabirds as ecological indicators and conservation of seabirds.

It gives an updated insight on all these topics and highlights gaps that need further development for a comprehensive understanding of the relationships between seabirds and human actions. This book covers the response of the seabird research community to a biodiversity crisis aiming to contribute towards environmental sustainability.

It should provide inspiration to a wide range of professionals and students, including the much needed world-wide collaboration between research groups and practitioners.

In this way seabird research and conservation provide an inspiration for the solution of global issues such as climate change.
