Individual specialization in the foraging and feeding strategies of seabirds: a review
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 …

Drivers of site fidelity in ungulates
While the tendency to return to previously visited locations—termed 'site fidelity'—is common
in animals, the cause of this behaviour is not well understood. One hypothesis is that site …

Spatial scales of marine conservation management for breeding seabirds
Knowing the spatial scales at which effective management can be implemented is
fundamental for conservation planning. This is especially important for mobile species …

Breeding density, fine‐scale tracking, and large‐scale modeling reveal the regional distribution of four seabird species
Population‐level estimates of species' distributions can reveal fundamental ecological
processes and facilitate conservation. However, these may be difficult to obtain for mobile …

Effects of age and reproductive status on individual foraging site fidelity in a long-lived marine predator
Individual foraging specializations, where individuals use a small component of the
population niche width, are widespread in nature with important ecological and evolutionary …

Personality predicts foraging site fidelity and trip repeatability in a marine predator
Animal populations are often comprised of both foraging specialists and generalists. For
instance, some individuals show higher foraging site fidelity (spatial specialization) than …
