Behavior is an important mechanism of evolution and it is paid for through energy
expenditure. Nevertheless, field biologists can rarely observe animals for more than a …

Breeding seabirds challenge the concept of niche segregation among competing species
because similar competitors with comparable life histories can coexist in large multi‐species …

Considerable attention has focused on inter-and intraspecific variation in trophic niches of
marine predators. Although this has revealed evidence for sexual segregation in distribution …

Ecological theory predicts that animals with similar foraging strategies should not be able to
co‐exist without segregating either in space, time or diet. In communities, intra‐specific …

In recent years, marine predator and seabird tracking studies have become ever more
popular. However, they are often conducted without first considering how many individuals …

Sexual segregation, common in many species, is usually attributed to intra-specific
competition or habitat choice. However, few studies have simultaneously quantified sex …

The wandering albatross (Diomedea exulans) is regarded as a generalist predator, but can
it be consistent in its foraging niche at an individual level? This study tested short-and long …

The low productivity and unpredictable nature of resources in tropical waters would appear
to make resource partitioning among predators difficult. Yet, stable isotope data from the …

When species competing for the same resources coexist, some segregation in the way they
utilize those resources is expected. However, little is known about how closely related …

Human-induced rapid environmental changes can disrupt habitat quality in the short term. A
decrease in quality of habitats associated with preference for these over other available …
