J.H.D.’s position is funded by an Irish Research Council Enterprise Partnership Scheme (EPSPG/2019/469), M.C. is funded by the H2020 X-Rotor project (101007135), and the majority of GLS devices are funded by the SEATRACK program (seatrack.seapop.no, Norwegian Research Council grant no. 192141). We would like to recognize and thank all those who assisted in the deployment and recovery of GLS devices, too many to mention individually. We are indebted to Pat and Liezl Grattan-Bellew for accommodating fieldwork on Little Saltee, Orkney Islands Council for access to Eynhallow, the landowners at Laxamyri for access to the Skjalfandi colony, and the Norwegian Armed Forces for support and accommodation on Jan Mayen. Particular thanks to Françoise Amélineau and Ewan Edwards for helpful input during discussions on this topic at an early stage, and to Vegard Bråthen for collating, curating, and delivering the data for analysis. Thanks to the two anonymous reviewers for exceptionally helpful and constructive feedback. Peer reviewed
