Atolls are vital for seabirds and vice versa

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Predictive modelling based on a global dataset reveals that atolls sustain 31.2 million breeding tropical seabirds. This vast assemblage of birds probably acts as a major nutrient pump, which highlights the need to conserve atoll ecosystems into the future.
