This project focuses on improving our ability to capture realism in the quantification and subsequent forecasting of kittiwake metapopulation dynamics. This work will advance our understanding of vulnerable species, and their conservation, through improvements in metapopulation modelling by including different sources of population structure (i.e. age, sex, experience) in demographic rates (such as dispersal/connectivity). Such advances would reduce uncertainty when forecasting how offshore wind development and climate change may affect priority species such as kittiwakes. Ultimately, the project aims to advance the evidence for and methodologies available to model metapopulation dynamics, informing policy, decision makers, nature conservation advisors and industry, and removing barriers to the delivery of net-zero targets.

该项目的重点是提高我们在Kittiwake Mapopulation Dynamics的量化和随后预测中捕获现实主义的能力。这项工作将通过在人口统计学率（例如分散/连通性）中包括不同的人口结构（即年龄，性别，性别，经验），通过改善种群建模（即年龄，性别，性别，经验）来提高我们对脆弱物种及其保护的理解。当预测海上风能发展和气候变化如何影响优先物种（例如Kittiwakes）时，这种进步将减​​少不确定性。最终，该项目旨在推进可用于建模跨种群动态，为政策，决策者，自然保护顾问和行业提供信息的证据和方法，并消除交付零零目标的障碍。
