    Birds on the move - the spatial distribution of seabirds


    A series of four recently published papers co-authored by Benjamin Merkel from Akvaplan-niva, discuss large-scale ocean-basin-wide multi-species seabird distributions across the year. Merkel uses various methods in spatial data analyses and species distribution modelling to study distribution patterns and migration behaviour of seabirds. These results are of relevance to national and internati
