Northern Gannets (Morus bassanus) are among the largest and most predator-resistant seabirds, and thus have minimal geomorphological requirements for nesting. In their field study published in The Scientific Naturalist section in the January issue of Ecology, Eveillard-Buchoux and Beninger find that smaller seabirds integrate critical geomorphological features at several spatial scales (nest, cliff face, and land mass) when nesting. They suggest that geomorphology and geodiversity be factored into conservation planning for declining seabird populations.
