Abstract
Photo 1. Geomorphological features related to seabird nest sites. (A) L’île de l’Amas off Cap-Fréhel, Brittany, France. The island presents several key geomorphological features at various spatial scales, from largest to smallest: small island (~100 × 50 m at low tide), steep slope (north facing, marked with an N), gentle slope (south facing), low degree of enclosure. (B) Detail of a steep slope face with nesting Kittiwakes. Steep slope-nesting seabirds show no requirement for nest site enclosure, and nest indifferently on large or small islands; the steep face deters both land and seaborne predation. Photo credit: Marie Eveillard-Buchoux. These photographs illustrate the article “Between a rock and a large place: the importance of multi-scale geomorphological features to seabird nest site selection” by Marie Eveillard-Buchoux and Peter G. Beninger in Ecology, https://doi.org/10.1002/ecy.3566.
