Seabirds must find food efficiently in the dynamic ocean environment to succeed at raising
chicks. In theory, site familiarity, gained by prior experience in a place, should increase …

Foraging site fidelity allows animals to increase their efficiency by returning to profitable
feeding areas. However, the mechanisms underpinning why animals 'stay'or 'switch'sites …

There is a growing interest in studying consistency and site fidelity of individuals to assess,
respectively, how individual behaviour shapes the population response to environmental …

Foraging site fidelity has profound consequences for individual fitness, population
processes and the effectiveness of species conservation measures. Accordingly, quantifying …

The variability in individual fitness within a population is likely to be mediated through
individual foraging ability and tactics, themselves linked to age-or experience-related …

The concept of individual behavioural consistency has received a great deal of attention in
the past 2 decades. However, the fitness benefits of being consistent in varying …

Foraging provides an integrative view of the effects of environmental variability on marine
predators, from direct effects through increased energetic costs at sea to indirect effects …

Individuals can specialise such that mutually exclusive home ranges arise and the
acquisition of site familiarity early in life can favour individual site fidelity in mature animals …

Marine animals forage in areas that aggregate prey to maximize their energy intake.
However, these foraging 'hot spots' experience environmental variability, which can …

Most seabirds forage far from land, making them hard to observe when foraging. Satellite
tracking of seabirds shows where they come into conflict with human uses of the ocean, and …
