Oceanographic drivers of marine mammal and seabird habitat-use across shelf-seas: a guide to key features and recommendations for future research and …
Abstract Mid-latitude (∼ 30-60°) seasonally stratifying shelf-seas support a high abundance
and diversity of marine predators such as marine mammals and seabirds. However …

Information use in colonial living
Despite the fact that many animals live in groups, there is still no clear consensus about the
ecological or evolutionary mechanisms underlying colonial living. Recently, research has …

From colony to first patch: processes of prey searching and social information in Cape gannets
Seabirds forage in a highly dynamic environment and prey on fish schools that are patchily
distributed. Colonially breeding seabirds regularly commute back and forth from their colony …

Spatial segregation of home ranges between neighbouring colonies in a diurnal raptor
Enhancement of information transfer has been proposed as a key driver of the evolution of
coloniality. Transfer of information on location of food resources implies that individuals from …

Seabird diving behaviour reveals the functional significance of shelf-sea fronts as foraging hotspots
Oceanic fronts are key habitats for a diverse range of marine predators, yet how they
influence fine-scale foraging behaviour is poorly understood. Here, we investigated the dive …

Spatial memory obviates following behaviour in an information centre of wild fruit bats
According to the information centre hypothesis (ICH), colonial species use social information
in roosts to locate ephemeral resources. Validating the ICH necessitates showing that …

Evidence of sociality in the timing and location of foraging in a colonial seabird
Social foraging behaviours, which range from cooperative hunting to local enhancement,
can result in increased prey capture and access to information, which may significantly …

Nutritional geometry and macronutrient variation in the diets of gannets: the challenges in marine field studies
Foraging theory proposes that the nutritional driver of food choice and foraging in carnivores
is energy gain. In contrast, recent laboratory experiments have shown that several species of …
