• Tracking seabirds to identify potential Marine Protected Areas in the tropical western Indian Ocean (2012, background): “In spite of this, Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) cover less than 1% of the oceanic and coastal surface of the region (figure derived from WIOMSA, 2010), and, except for the ongoing project of implementing a large MPA around the Chagos Archipelago (Koldewey et al., 2010; De Santo et al., 2011), there ”
• Migratory marine species: their status, threats and conservation management needs (2014, methodology): “These include combining data into habitat models, for example comparing distribution predictions from at-sea surveys and individual tracking data (Louzao et al., 2009; Mannocci et al., 2014), and abundance estimates derived from spatial models and design-based line transect methods (de Segura et…”
• Conserving pelagic habitats: seascape modelling of an oceanic top predator (2011, methodology): “…of important protected sites could be used not only to support conservation of top predators (with important implications for fishery and ecosystem management), but also the underlying biodiversity associated with key habitats of top predators in the pelagic realm (e.g. Louzao et al. 2006, 2009).”
• Seasonal variation in oceanographic habitat and behaviour of white-chinned petrels Procellaria aequinoctialis from Kerguelen Island (2010, background): “These can be combined in models to predict potential habitats at sea for birds from untracked sites and populations (Louzao et al. 2009).”
• Comparison of five modelling techniques to predict the spatial distribution and abundance of seabirds (2012, methodology): “To account for these productivity time lags we integrated SST, CHL, and SSH over a period of threemonths prior to each season (Louzao et al., 2009; Table S1).”
• Assessing the location and stability of foraging hotspots for pelagic seabirds: An approach to identify marine Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in Spain (2012, methodology): “Individual remote tracking relevant to the study area included breeding Cory’s shearwaters from three colonies of the Balearic islands, using either Platform Terminal Transmitters (PTTs, 2005– 2006) or Global Positioning System loggers (GPS, 2007), attached to the back feathers with TESA tape (Arcos”
