v摘要影响海鸟海洋空间生态学的因素：对理论、保护和管理的意义威廉·詹姆斯·希腊海鸟是分布广泛的顶端捕食者和海洋系统的有用生物指示剂。然而，海洋环境正在发生变化，海鸟需要得到保护，以免受气候变化、渔业、污染、近海开发、引进的捕食者和入侵物种的有害影响。英国支持国际上重要的海鸟种群，但也有巨大的风力和海浪资源，因此了解海鸟如何利用海洋环境是至关重要的，以便量化进一步开发这些资源的潜在后果。在这篇论文中，我首先描述了波能转换设备的操作或在英国的发展范围，并审查这些发展可能对海洋鸟类的潜在威胁和好处。然后，我综合了基于群体的调查数据以及有关种群动态、觅食生态和近群体行为的详细信息，以开发一个预测模型，来识别海鸟繁殖的重要海上区域。这些模型显示出与最密集的海上海鸟调查数据集之一的正空间相关性，并提供与现有跟踪数据定性相似的结果。这种方法有可能确定与近海能源开发的重叠，并可以开发，以适应一系列物种或整个社区，并提供一个理论框架的因素，如殖民地的大小调节的研究。非繁殖期是海鸟年周期的一个关键因素，一个季节经历的条件可能会影响海鸟的繁殖。
v Abstract Factors influencing the marine spatial ecology of seabirds: Implications for theory, conservation and management William James Grecian Seabirds are wide-ranging apex-predators and useful bio-indicators of marine systems. Nevertheless, changes are occurring in the marine environment, and seabirds require protection from the deleterious effects of climate change, fisheries, pollution, offshore development, introduced predators and invasive species. The UK supports internationally important populations of seabirds but also has vast wind and wave resources, therefore understanding how seabirds use the marine environment is vital in order to quantify the potential consequences of further exploiting these resources. In this thesis I first describe the range of wave energy converting devices operational or in development in the UK, and review the potential threats and benefits these developments may have for marine birds. I then synthesise data from colony-based surveys with detailed information on population dynamics, foraging ecology and nearcolony behaviour, to develop a projection model that identifies important at-sea areas for breeding seabirds. These models show a positive spatial correlation with one of the most intensive at-sea seabird survey datasets, and provide qualitatively similar findings to existing tracking data. This approach has the potential to identify overlap with offshore energy developments, and could be developed to suit a range of species or whole communities and provide a theoretical framework for the study of factors such as colony size regulation. The non-breeding period is a key element of the annual cycle of seabirds and conditions experienced during one season may carry-over to influence the
