Trophic relationships are a central theme in ecology and play a crucial role in the survival of
organisms, because the availability of food resources varies over time and space. Until …

Technological advances in recent years have seen an explosion of tracking and stable
isotope studies of seabirds, often involving repeated measures from the same individuals …

There is a growing need to identify Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) for marine species. For
seabirds, MPAs include those near breeding colonies, offshore foraging areas, inshore …

The large amount of discards produced by commercial fisheries can have major impacts on

Summary 1 We studied chick diet in a known‐age, sexed population of a long‐lived seabird,
the Brünnich's guillemot (Uria lomvia), over 15 years (N= 136; 1993–2007) and attached …

An important aspect of foraging ecology is the extent to which different individuals or
genders within a population exploit food resources in a different manner. For diving …

Plastic is a common item in marine environments. Studies assessing seabird ingestion of
plastics have focused on species that ingest plastics mistaken for prey items. Few studies …

Tracking devices are useful in studying the movement and behaviour of birds throughout the
year. However, the effects of device attachment must be monitored for bird welfare and the …

Telemetry has become an important method for studying the biology and ecology of animals.
However, the impact of tracking devices and their method of attachment on different species …
