Synchronous timing of return to breeding sites in a long-distance migratory seabird with ocean-scale variation in migration schedules

RSA van Bemmelen, B Moe, H Schekkerman… - Movement Ecology, 2024 - Springer
Background Migratory birds generally have tightly scheduled annual cycles, in which delays
can have carry-over effects on the timing of later events, ultimately impacting reproductive …

Allochrony is shaped by foraging niche segregation rather than adaptation to the windscape in long-ranging seabirds

F Ventura, JP Granadeiro, P Catry, C Gjerdrum… - Movement Ecology, 2024 - Springer
Background Ecological segregation allows populations to reduce competition and coexist in
sympatry. Using as model organisms two closely related gadfly petrels endemic to the …

[HTML][HTML] Adjustment of foraging trips and flight behaviour to own and partner mass and wind conditions by a far-ranging seabird

TA Clay, P Hodum, E Hagen, ML Brooke - Animal Behaviour, 2023 - Elsevier
Many animals are highly adapted to cover vast distances in search of ephemeral food
resources. Pelagic seabirds have particularly wide-ranging foraging trips, made possible …

Evaluating the effects of moonlight on the vertical flight profiles of three western palaearctic swifts

K Hufkens, CM Meier, R Evens… - … of the Royal …, 2023 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Recent studies have suggested the presence of moonlight mediated behaviour in avian
aerial insectivores, such as swifts. Here, we use the combined analysis of state-of-the-art …

Geolocation and immersion loggers reveal year‐round residency and facilitate nutrient deposition rate estimation of adult red‐footed boobies in the Chagos …

SC Votier, G Corcoran, P Carr, RE Dunn… - Journal of Avian …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Bio‐logging has revealed much about high‐latitude seabird migratory strategies, but
migratory behaviour in tropical species may differ, with implications for understanding …

Night flight facilitates late breeding catch-up in a long-distance migratory seabird

K Siddiqi-Davies, J Wynn, O Padget, S Bond… - Scientific reports, 2024 - nature.com
Long-distance migrants must optimise their timing of breeding to capitalise on resources at
both breeding and over-wintering sites. In species with protracted breeding seasons …

Global Marine Flyways Identified for Long‐Distance Migrating Seabirds From Tracking Data

JM Morten, APB Carneiro, M Beal… - Global Ecology and …, 2025 - Wiley Online Library
Aim To identify the broad‐scale oceanic migration routes ('marine flyways') used by multiple
pelagic, long‐distance migratory seabirds based on a global compilation of tracking data …

A central place foraging seabird flies at right angles to the wind to jointly optimize locomotor and olfactory search efficiency

F Ventura, P Catry, MP Dias… - … of the Royal …, 2022 - royalsocietypublishing.org
To increase the probability of detecting odour plumes, and so increase prey capture
success, when winds are stable central place foraging seabirds should fly crosswind to …
