We grouped individuals that followed similar routes, independent of species or timings of migration, using a dynamic time warping clustering approach. We visualised the routes of each cluster using a line density analysis and used knowledge of seabird spatial ecology to combine the clusters to identify the broad-scale flyways followed by most pelagic migratory seabirds tracked to-date at an ocean-basin scale.// Results: Six marine flyways were identified across the world's oceans: the Atlantic Ocean Flyway, North Indian Ocean Flyway, East Indian Ocean Flyway, West Pacific Ocean Flyway, Pacific Ocean Flyway and Southern Ocean Flyway. Generally, the flyways were used bidirectionally, and individuals either followed sections of a flyway, a complete flyway, or their movements linked two or more flyways. Transhemispheric figure-of-eight routes in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and a circumnavigation flyway in the Southern Ocean correspond with major wind-driven ocean currents.// Main Conclusions: The marine flyways identified demonstrate that pelagic seabirds have similar and repeatable migration routes across ocean-basin scales. Our study highlights the need to account for connectivity in seabird conservation and provides a framework for international cooperation.// date: 2025-02 date_type: published publisher: Wiley official_url: https://doi.org/10.1111/geb.70004 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2362265 doi: 10.1111/geb.70004 lyricists_name: Nicoll, Malcolm lyricists_id: MNICO77 actors_name: Nicoll, Malcolm actors_id: MNICO77 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Global Ecology and Biogeography volume: 34 number: 2 article_number: e70004 issn: 1466-822X citation: Morten, Joanne M; Carneiro, Ana PB; Beal, Martin; Bonnet‐Lebrun, Anne‐Sophie; Dias, Maria P; Rouyer, Marie‐Morgane; Harrison, Autumn‐Lynn; ...
