Basic questions about the life histories of migratory birds have confounded scientists for
generations, yet we are nearing an era of historic discovery as new tracking technologies …

Pelagic birds, which wander in the open sea most of the year and often nest on small remote
oceanic islands, are able to pinpoint their breeding colony even within an apparently …

Dynamic soaring harvests energy from a spatiotemporal wind gradient, allowing albatrosses
to glide over vast distances. However, its use is challenging to demonstrate empirically and …

The aerial environment is heterogeneous in space and time and directly influences the costs
of animal flight. Volant animals can reduce these costs by using different flight modes, each …

The use of miniature data loggers is rapidly increasing our understanding of the movements
and habitat preferences of pelagic seabirds. However, objectively interpreting behavioural …

Flexibility in foraging behaviour is a key individual trait, promoting adaptive responses to
changing environmental conditions. Such flexibility can be especially pronounced in marine …

For decades, studies have highlighted links between wind patterns and the behavior,
ecology, distribution, energetics and life history of seabirds. However, only relatively recently …

Seabirds must often travel vast distances to exploit heterogeneously distributed oceanic
resources, but how routes and destinations of foraging trips are optimized remains poorly …

The foraging plasticity in a pelagic seabird species, Cory's shearwater Calonectris
diomedea, was compared during incubation and chick-rearing among 7 different breeding …

Many breeding seabird species are central-place foragers and constrained to find
productive prey patches within their foraging ranges. We assessed how different populations …
