Changes in behaviour drive inter-annual variability in the at-sea distribution of northern gannets
The at-sea distribution of seabirds primarily depends on the distance from their breeding
colony, and the abundance, distribution and predictability of their prey, which are subject to …

Sex-specific macronutrient foraging strategies in a highly successful marine predator: the Australasian gannet
The foraging challenge for predators is to find and capture food with adequate levels of
energy and nutrients. Marine predators require particularly sophisticated foraging strategies …

Recent changes in the diet and survival of Atlantic puffin chicks in the face of climate change and commercial fishing in midcoast Maine, USA
SW Kress, P Shannon, C O'Neal - Facets, 2016 - facetsjournal.com
We examined the diet of Atlantic puffin (Fratercula arctica) chicks at three midcoast Maine,

Common Guillemot Uria aalge parents adjust provisioning rates to compensate for low food quality
The quantity and quality of food available within the foraging area set important constraints
for chick‐rearing birds, but responses to low quality are not well understood. This study …
