Procellaria conspicillata

A comprehensive assessment of the distribution and seasonal occurrence of Procellaria conspicillata, a seabird species breeding on Gough, Inaccessible, and Tristan da Cunha Islands, reveals its broad migratory range across the Atlantic Ocean. This study identifies key latitudinal boundaries for its movement between 23°S and 36°S, spanning from southeastern Brazil to Uruguay along the South American coast, and corresponding regions off the African coast. Seasonal records in Brazil highlight its presence in southern and southeastern coastal areas, with notable sightings in Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Santa Catarina (SC), Paraná (PR), Espírito Santo (ES), and Bahia (BA) across various months, particularly from May to November. The research synthesizes historical data and observations, providing critical insights into the species' ecological distribution and migratory patterns.
