The foraging decisions of a central place foraging seabird in response to fluctuations in local prey conditions
CM Burke, WA Montevecchi - Journal of Zoology, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
During reproduction, seabirds need to balance the demands of self‐and offspring‐

Sex‐specific food provisioning in a monomorphic seabird, the common guillemot Uria aalge: nest defence, foraging efficiency or parental effort?
Sexual differences in food provisioning rates of monomorphic seabirds are well known but
poorly understood. Here, we address three hypotheses that attempt to explain female …
