Impacts of climate variation and potential effects of climate change on South American seabirds–a review
The coastal and oceanic waters around the South American coasts provide rich foraging
grounds for breeding and wintering seabirds, but there is growing concern that climate …

Foraging movements of Leach's storm‐petrels Oceanodroma leucorhoa during incubation
Knowledge of foraging movements during the breeding season is key to understanding
energetic stresses faced by seabirds. Using archival light loggers (geolocators), a Bayesian …

Year‐round distribution suggests spatial segregation of two small petrel species in the South Atlantic
Aim Pelagic seabirds exploit large areas of ocean when acting as central‐place foragers
during the breeding season, and ranges are even more extensive outside the breeding …

Foraging trip time-activity budgets and reproductive success in the black-legged kittiwake
LS Chivers, MG Lundy, K Colhoun, SF Newton… - Marine Ecology …, 2012 - int-res.com
Seabirds are central place foragers during the breeding season and, as marine food
resources are often patchily distributed, flexibility in foraging behaviour may be important in …

Predatory zooplankton on the move: Themisto amphipods in high-latitude marine pelagic food webs
Hyperiid amphipods are predatory pelagic crustaceans that are particularly prevalent in high-
latitude oceans. Many species are likely to have co-evolved with soft-bodied zooplankton …

Variation among species and populations, and carry-over effects of winter exposure on mercury accumulation in small petrels
Even in areas as remote as the Southern Ocean, marine organisms are exposed to
contaminants that arrive through long-range atmospheric transport, such as mercury (Hg), a …

Additive traits lead to feeding advantage and reproductive isolation, promoting homoploid hybrid speciation
Speciation through homoploid hybridization (HHS) is considered extremely rare in animals.
This is mainly because the establishment of reproductive isolation as a product of …

Prey-switching to fishery discards does not compensate for poor natural foraging conditions in breeding albatross
Fishery discards supplement food for many seabirds, but the impacts of declining discards
are poorly understood. Discards may be beneficial for some populations but have negative …

Compound-specific stable isotope analyses in Falkland Islands seabirds reveal seasonal changes in trophic positions
Background While nitrogen and carbon stable isotope values can reflect ecological
segregation, prey choice and spatial distribution in seabirds, the interpretation of bulk stable …
