      Anker-Nilssen, Tycho; Barrett, Robert T.; Bustnes, Jan Ove; Erikstad, Kjell Einar; Fauchald, Per; Lorentsen, Svein-Håkon; Steen, Harald; Strøm, Hallvard; Systad, Geir Helge; Tveraa, T (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2007-04)
      This is the second annual report of the SEAPOP programme, which was initiated in 2005. In 2006, the programme was extended to the near full scale in the Lofoten-Barents Sea area, but it is aimed for implementation at the national level within few years. The report is divided into three sections. The first is an executive summary, the second presents five selected highlights from the studies in ...
    • SEAPOP. Et nasjonalt sjøfuglprogram for styrket beslutningsstøtte i marine områder 

      Anker-Nilssen, Tycho; Bustnes, J.O.; Erikstad, K.E.; Lorentsen, Svein-Håkon; Tveraa, T.; Strøm, H.; Barrett, Robert T. (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2005-01)
      SEAPOP (Seabird population management and petroleum operations) er et nasjonalt, kunnskapsoppbyggende program om sjøfugl tilrettelagt for å gi styrket beslutningsstøtte for marine områder. Konseptet ble først utviklet for oljeindustrien i et samarbeid mellom Norsk institutt for naturforskning (NINA) og Den norske stats oljeselskap as (Statoil), men er senere videreutviklet i samarbeid med Norsk ...
    • The status and trends of seabirds breeding in Norway and Svalbard 

      Fauchald, Per; Anker-Nilssen, Tycho; Barrett, Robert T.; Bustnes, Jan Ove; Bårdsen, Bård-Jørgen; Christensen-Dalsgaard, Signe; Descamps, Sebastien; Engen, Sigrid; Erikstad, Kjell E; Hanssen, Sveinn Are; Lorentsen, Svein-Håkon; Moe, Børge; Reiertsen, Tone; Strøm, Hallvard; Systad, Geir Helge (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2015-03)
      This report presents the updated sizes, trends and spatial distributions of the breeding populations of 17 seabird species breeding in Norway and Svalbard. The analyses are based on available census and monitoring data from SEAPOP; the Norwegian monitoring and mapping program for seabirds. In addition, the report presents results from a species-specific literature review of the most important ...
    • There is more to climate than the North Atlantic Oscillation: a new perspective from climate dynamics to explain the variability in population growth rates of a long-lived seabird 

      Mesquita, Michel d. S.; Erikstad, Kjell E.; Sandvik, Hanno; Reiertsen, Tone; Barrett, Robert T.; Anker-Nilssen, Tycho; Hodges, Kevin I.; Bader, Jürgen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-04-29)
      Predicting the impact of global climate change on the biosphere has become one of the most important efforts in ecology. Ecosystems worldwide are changing rapidly as a consequence of global warming, yet our understanding of the consequences of these changes on populations is limited. The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) has been used as a proxy for “climate” in several ecological studies, but this ...
    • Twilight foraging enables European shags to survive the winter across their latitudinal range 

      Moe, Børge; Daunt, Francis; Bråthen, Vegard Sandøy; Barrett, Robert; Ballesteros, Manuel; Bjørnstad, Oskar; Bogdanova, Maria I.; Dehnhard, Nina; Erikstad, Kjell E.; Follestad, Arne; Gíslason, Sindri; Hallgrimsson, Gunnar Thor; Lorentsen, Svein-Håkon; Newell, Mark; Petersen, Aevar; Phillips, Richard A.; Ragnarsdóttir, Sunna Björk; Reiertsen, Tone Kristin; Åström, Jens; Wanless, Sarah; Anker-Nilssen, Tycho (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-14)
      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) ...
    • Unintended consequences: how the recovery of sea eagle Haliaeetus spp. populations in the northern hemisphere is affecting seabirds 

      Hipfner, Mark J.; Blight, Louise K.; Lowe, Roy W.; Wilhelm, Sabina I.; Robertson, Gregory J.; Barrett, Robert T.; Anker-Nilssen, Tycho; Good, Thomas P. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      The recovery of sea eagle Haliaeetus spp. populations in the temperate northern hemisphere in the closing decades of the 20th century is one of the great conservation success stories of recent times, but the re-establishment of these apex predators in marine systems has had consequences for seabirds. Sea eagles affect seabirds both directly (by taking adults and offspring and by inducing potentially ...
