Diet of non-breeding leach’s storm-petrels (Hydrobates leucorhous) in the sub-p...
C. Silva, Monica; Catry, Paulo; Newton, Jason; Nunes, Vera L; Wakefield, EwanABSTRACT: In order to understand the drivers of the distribution and abundance of pelagic seabirds it is necessary to know what they eat, yet there remains little detailed, geo-referenced information on the diets of pelagic seabird. In particular, due to sampling difficulties, information is lacking for non-breeding stages, smaller species, such as storm-petrels, and r· Hydrobatesemote oceanic areas, which may ...

Silva, Monica C.; Catry, Paulo; Newton, Jason; Nunes, Vera L.; Wakefield, Ewan D.n order to understand the drivers of the distribution and abundance of pelagic seabirds it is necessary to know what they eat, yet there remains little detailed, geo-referenced information on the diets of pelagic seabird. In particular, due to sampling difficulties, information is lacking for non-breeding stages, smaller species, such as storm-petrels, and remote oceanic areas, which may include important diver...
Geolocator-tracking seabird migration and moult reveal large-scale, temperature...
Atkins, Kelly; Bearhop, Stuart; Bodey, Thomas W; Grecian, W James; Hamer, Keith; Pereira, Jorge M.; Meinertzhagen, Hannah; Mitchell, Chris; Morgan, GregRationale: By combining precision satellite-tracking with blood sampling, seabirds can be used to validate marine carbon and nitrogen isoscapes, but it is unclear whether a comparable approach using low-precision light-level geolocators (GLS) and feather sampling can be similarly effective. Methods: Here we used GLS to identify wintering areas of northern gannets (Morus bassanus) and sampled winter grown feathe...
Inter-colony and inter-annual variation in discard use by albatross chicks reve...
Kuepfer, Amanda; Catry, Paulo; Bearhop, Stuart; Sherley, Richard; Bell, Olivia; Newton, Jason; Brickle, Paul; Arkhipkin, Alexander; Votier, StephenEffective marine ecosystem monitoring is critical for sustainable management. Monitoring seabird diets can convey important information on ecosystem health and seabird–fishery interactions. The diet of breeding black-browed albatross (Thalassarche melanophris) has previously been assessed using stomach content analysis (SCA) or stable isotope analysis (SIA), but not both methods together. Combining dietary samp...
Provenance does matter: Links between winter trophic segregation and the migrat...
Catry, Paulo; Campos, Ana R.; Granadeiro, José Pedro; Neto, Júlio M.; Ramos, Jaime; Newton, Jason; Bearhop, StuartAmongst migratory species, it is common to find individuals from different populations or geographical origins sharing staging or wintering areas. Given their differing life histories, ecological theory would predict that the different groups of individuals should exhibit some level of niche segregation. This has rarely been investigated because of the difficulty in assigning migrating individuals to breeding a...
