Where to head: environmental conditions shape foraging destinations in a critically endangered seabird

An international team monitors reproductive Balearic shearwaters, a critically endangered species, in Ibiza for four years to determine the most important feeding areas for this population and study what factors determine their choice.
The study concludes that the shearwaters prefer to feed in the areas of the Iberian shelf closest to the colony, such as the Gulf of Valencia and Cabo de la Nao, due to lower flight costs
