Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Mike Harris is one of the best-known seabird biologists in Britain today. Formerly a warden on Skokholm Island, his research on auks and other species has led to ecological research in places such as the Isle of May, St Kilda and the Galápagos Islands. His successful career was acknowledged by the award of the prestigious BOU Godman-Salvin Medal for distinguished ornithological work in 2006.

Sarah Wanless started her seabird career working on Gannets at Bempton and Ailsa Craig. She has been involved in the long-term seabird studies on the Isle of May since 1980, initiating much of the work using loggers and, following Mike's retirement, running the CEH's seabird research studies for ten years. The results of Mike and Sarah's joint studies have been published in many scientific papers and presented at numerous national and international conferences. In recognition of their contribution to seabird ecology and conservation they have received a number of awards and prizes.
