Quantifying habitat use and preferences of pelagic seabirds using individual movement data: a review
Colonial seabirds are relatively easy to observe, count, measure and manipulate, and
consequently have long been used as models for testing ecological hypotheses. A …

New insights into pelagic migrations: implications for ecology and conservation
Highly pelagic large marine vertebrates have evolved the capability of moving across large
expanses of the marine environment; some species routinely move across entire ocean …

How cheap is soaring flight in raptors? A preliminary investigation in freely-flying vultures
Measuring the costs of soaring, gliding and flap** flight in raptors is challenging, but
essential for understanding their ecology. Among raptors, vultures are scavengers that have …

Multi-colony tracking reveals segregation in foraging range, space use, and timing in a tropical seabird
Colonial animals experience density-dependent competition for food, which is posited to
influence foraging range and lead to inter-colony segregation. However, such patterns are …
