Environmental variability drives shifts in the foraging behaviour and reproductive success of an inshore seabird
ND Kowalczyk, RD Reina, TJ Preston, A Chiaradia - Oecologia, 2015 - Springer
Marine animals forage in areas that aggregate prey to maximize their energy intake.
However, these foraging 'hot spots' experience environmental variability, which can …
