      Collard, France; Tulatz, Felix; Harju, Mikael; Herzke, Dorte; Bourgeon, Sophie; Gabrielsen, Geir Wing (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      For decades, the northern fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) has been found to ingest and accumulate high loads of plastic due to its feeding ecology and digestive tract morphology. Plastic ingestion can lead to both physical and ...
    • Implications of Regurgitative Feeding on Plastic Loads in Northern Fulmars (Fulmarus glacialis): A Study from Svalbard 

      Tulatz, Felix; Gabrielsen, Geir Wing; Bourgeon, Sophie; Herzke, Dorte; Krapp, Rupert; Langset, Magdalene; Neumann, Svenja; Lippold, Anna; Collard, France (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Procellariiform seabirds like northern fulmars (Fulmarus glacialis) are prone to ingest and accumulate floating plastic pieces. In the North Sea region, there is a long tradition to use beached fulmars as biomonitors for ...
    • Life starts with plastic: High occurrence of plastic pieces in fledglings of northern fulmars 

      Collard, France; Benjaminsen, Stine Charlotte; Herzke, Dorte; Husabø, Eirin; Sagerup, Kjetil; Tulatz, Felix; Gabrielsen, Geir W. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Plastic pollution threatens many organisms around the world. In particular, the northern fulmar, Fulmarus glacialis, is known to ingest high quantities of plastics. Since data are sparse in the Eurasian Arctic, we investigated ...
    • Plastic ingestion and associated additives in Faroe Islands chicks of the Northern Fulmar Fulmarus glacialis 

      Collard, France; Leconte, Simon; Danielsen, Jóhannis; Halsband, Claudia; Herzke, Dorte; Harju, Mikael; Tulatz, Felix; Gabrielsen, Geir Wing; Tarroux, Arnaud (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Northern Fulmars (Fulmarus glacialis) are a pelagic seabird species distributed at northern and polar latitudes. They are often used as an indicator of plastic pollution in the North Sea region, but data are lacking from ...
