Summary:
Today's shifting environmental
conditions are creating an uncertain future for many top predators in marine
ecosystems, but to protect the key habitat of a species, you first have to know
where that habitat is and what threats might be affecting it. A new study
from The Condor: Ornithological Applications looks at where New
Zealand's endangered Westland Petrel forages during its breeding season and
shows that its range overlaps more with trawl fishing activity than
conservationists realized.
