Ecological segregation in space, time and trophic niche of sympatric planktivorous petrels
The principle of competitive exclusion postulates that ecologically-similar species are
expected to partition their use of resources, leading to niche divergence. The most likely …

Plastic ingestion by fulmars and shearwaters at Sable Island, Nova Scotia, Canada
Plastic pollution is widespread in the marine environment, and plastic ingestion by seabirds
is now widely reported for dozens of species. Beached Northern Fulmars, Great …

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

How fishing intensity affects the spatial and trophic ecology of two gull species breeding in sympatry
Fisheries produce large quantities of discards, an important resource for scavenging
seabirds. However, a policy reform banning discards, which is soon to be implemented …

Oceanographic characteristics of areas used by Cory's shearwaters during short and long foraging trips in the North Atlantic
Many breeding seabird species are central-place foragers and constrained to find
productive prey patches within their foraging ranges. We assessed how different populations …

Using globally threatened pelagic birds to identify priority sites for marine conservation in the South Atlantic Ocean
Abstract The Convention on Biological Diversity aspires to designate 10% of the global
oceans as Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), but so far, few MPAs protect pelagic species in …

Sympatric breeding auks shift between dietary and spatial resource partitioning across the annual cycle
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 …

Linking dietary shifts and reproductive failure in seabirds: a stable isotope approach
ND Kowalczyk, A Chiaradia, TJ Preston… - Functional …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Diet‐related breeding failure in seabirds has been attributed to declines in key prey
abundance, the quality of prey and overall prey availability. However, identifying which …

Using long‐term data series to design adequate protected areas that ensure the conservation of inconspicuous small petrel species
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are widely used tools for conservation and management.
