Seasonal and annual differences in the foraging ecology of two gull species breeding in sympatry and their use of fishery discards
Niche segregation between similar species will result from an avoidance of competition but
also from environmental variability, including nowadays anthropogenic activities. Gulls are …

Starving seabirds: unprofitable foraging and its fitness consequences in Cape gannets competing with fisheries in the Benguela upwelling ecosystem
Fisheries are often accused of starving vulnerable seabirds, yet evidence for this claim is
