The research
Latest Publications
Seabird science is published across a small group of specialist journals and in the wider marine and ecology literature.
Specialist journals
- Marine Ornithology: an open-access journal devoted to seabirds.
- Seabird: the journal of The Seabird Group.
- Waterbirds: covering seabirds and other aquatic birds.
- Ibis, Ornithology and Ornithological Applications: general ornithology journals that regularly publish seabird research.
Reading research well
Look at the sample size, the years covered and where the study took place. A single colony in a single year rarely tells the whole story. Long-term and multi-site studies carry more weight.
Discussing findings
New papers are a good starting point for discussion. Share the paper, summarize its main findings in plain language and note what it does not show.
