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 …

Positive interactions among foraging seabirds, marine mammals and fishes and implications for their conservation

RR Veit, NM Harrison - Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2017 - frontiersin.org
There is increasing recognition of the importance of “positive interactions” among species in
structuring communities. For seabirds, an important kind of positive interaction is the use of …

conditions. This should be particularly relevant in tropical marine environments where food …

Ontogenetic changes in stable isotope (δ13C and δ15N) values in squid Gonatus fabricii (Cephalopoda) reveal its important ecological role in the Arctic

AV Golikov, FR Ceia, RM Sabirov, ZI Zaripova… - Marine Ecology …, 2018 - int-res.com

Metabarcoding, stables isotopes, and tracking: unraveling the trophic ecology of a winter-breeding storm petrel (Hydrobates castro) with a multimethod approach

AR Carreiro, VH Paiva, R Medeiros, KA Franklin… - Marine Biology, 2020 - Springer
Detailed information on diet and foraging ecology is scarce for most small seabirds such as
storm petrels. In this study, we used molecular techniques, stable isotope analysis, and …

Behavioral and trophic segregations help the Tahiti petrel to cope with the abundance of wedge-tailed shearwater when foraging in oligotrophic tropical waters

A Ravache, K Bourgeois, H Weimerskirch… - Scientific Reports, 2020 - nature.com
Two species breeding in sympatry are more likely to coexist if their ecological niches are
segregated either in time, space or in trophic habits. Here, we combined GPS-tracking …

Foraging niche segregation between juvenile and adult hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) at Príncipe island, West Africa
