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

FR Ceia, JA Ramos - Marine biology, 2015 - Springer
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 …

Long‐term individual foraging site fidelity—why some gannets don't change their spots

ED Wakefield, IR Cleasby, S Bearhop, TW Bodey… - Ecology, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Many established models of animal foraging assume that individuals are ecologically

Central-place foraging in an Arctic seabird provides evidence for Storer-Ashmole's halo

KH Elliott, KJ Woo, AJ Gaston, S Benvenuti… - The Auk, 2009 - academic.oup.com
Breeding seabirds are extreme central-place foragers, commuting long distances between
