Dual-foraging and co-ordinated provisioning in a tropical Procellariiform, the wedge-tailed shearwater (2005, background): “In temperate Procellariiformes long-trip length is believed to be optimised so as to maximise adult energy gains relative to expenditure, with median long-trip length being that at which mass gain and foraging efficiency peaks (Weimerskirch et al. 2003).”
Perspectives in Ornithology: Application of tracking and data-logging technology in research and conservation of seabirds (2009, unknown): “Although short trips allow parents to maximize provisioning rates to chicks, adults typically lose body mass and expend more energy obtaining food on short trips than on long trips (Shaffer et al. 2003, Weimerskirch et al. 2003a, Ropert-Coudert et al. 2004).”
Biogeography Of Procellariiform Foraging Strategies: Does Ocean Productivity Influence Provisioning? (2003, background): “Additionally, six petrel species, including four shearwaters, the Blue Petrel, and the Thin-billed Prion conduct bimodal foraging trips, and there is evidence that in at least another species, the Little Shearwater, there is alternation and coordination of short and long foraging trips among parents”
Evolutionary Foraging Models in Zooarchaeological Analysis: Recent Applications and Future Challenges (2007, background): “…about behavior and that different currencies successfully predict foraging strategies in different contexts even within the same species (Bateson and Kacelnik 1996; Rasheed and Harder 1997; Waite and Ydenberg 1994; Weimerskirch et al. 2003; Welham and Beauchamp 1997; Ydenberg 1998, pp. 350- 351).”
Foraging strategies of Adélie penguins: adjusting body condition to cope with environmental variability (2010, background): “Parents may use longer feeding trips to replenish their own reserves, but possibly at the expense of the chicks (Chaurand & Weimerskirch 1994a, Weimerskirch et al. 1994, 2003).”
