High precision, high coverage DNA-based diet analysis tools allow great insight into the
food web interactions of cryptic taxa. We used DNA fecal-metabarcoding to look for …

Background According to central place foraging theory, animals will only increase the
distance of their foraging trips if more distant prey patches offer better foraging opportunities …

The north coast of the South Island, Aotearoa New Zealand, is a region with complex
bathymetry and biogeochemistry, where oceanographic variability gives rise to very different …

Seabirds often have wide distribution ranges and may travel relatively long distances to
breeding grounds, often crossing jurisdictional boundaries. When engaged in foraging …

As bio-indicators, seabirds across the globe help us understand how our environment is
changing, and how this is affecting our wildlife. Little Penguins (Eudyptula minor) in Australia …

Droughts in many regions of the world are increasing in frequency and severity which,
coupled with effects from anthropogenic water extraction and diversion, are reducing river …

Little penguins (Eudyptula minor) have one of the widest geographic distributions among
penguins, exposing them to variable ecological constraints across their range, which in turn …

Environmental and anthropogenic influences in the marine environment are primary drivers
of behavior and demographic outcomes for marine birds. We examined factors influencing …

The COVID-19 pandemic and its lock-down measures have resulted in periods of reduced
human activity, known as anthropause. While this period was expected to be favorable for …

An increasing number of marine animals are equipped with biologgers, to study their
physiology, behaviour and ecology, often for conservation purposes. To minimise the …
