Assessing the location and stability of foraging hotspots for pelagic seabirds: An approach to identify marine Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in Spain (2012, background): “Previous work in this region (Abelló et al., 2003; Arcos and Oro, 2002; Louzao et al., 2006) allowed to use longer datasets here than elsewhere in Spain, thus providing the best conditions to exemplify both the identification of seabird foraging hotspots and the assessment of their stability.”
Modelling demography and extinction risk in the endangered Balearic shearwater (2004, background): “Although several studies have recently analyzed several features of the ecology of the species (e.g. Aguilar, 2000; Arcos et al., 2000; Arcos and Oro, 2002), demographic information is sparse.”
Age and sexual differences in the exploitation of two anthropogenic food resources for an opportunistic seabird (2010, background): “For this reason, although the nutritional value of crustaceans is, in general, lower than that of marine Wsh (Massias and Becker 1990; Arcos and Oro 2002a), the high availability of the American crayWsh at the Ebro Delta (Gutierrez-Yurrita et al. 1999) and its high content of carotenoids could…”
Combining vessel-based surveys and tracking data to identify key marine areas for seabirds (2009, background): “The association of Mediterranean pelagic seabirds with the same mesoscale features along the Iberian continental shelf year after year exemplifies this long-term predictability (Arcos & Oro 2002, Louzao et al. 2006).”
Seasonal changes in the diet of a critically endangered seabird and the importance of trawling discards (2009, methodology): “During April–June, coinciding with the incubation and chick-rearing period of the Balearic shearwater, the abundance of anchovies and pilchards in the Ebro Delta is higher than during the pre-incubation period (Lloret et al. 2004), supporting the hypothesis that breeding adults exploit the most avai”
