Movements, at-sea distribution and behaviour of a tropical pelagic seabird: the wedge-tailed shearwater in the western Indian Ocean (2009, background): “Current knowledge of the at-sea distribution and movements of tropical seabirds is based primarily on shipboard observations (Bailey 1968, Pocklington 1979, Dunlop et al. 2001, Jaquemet et al. 2004), seawatching from the coast and band recoveries (Rogers 1975).”
Foraging strategy of a top predator in tropical waters: great frigatebirds in the Mozambique Channel (2004, unknown): “…is to feed primarily in multi-species flocks in association with subsurface predators, especially tuna but also other large fishes or dolphins (Au & Pitman 1986), that bring prey close to the surface in the open ocean (Ballance & Pitman 1999) and in coastal environments (Jaquemet et al. 2004).”
Comparative foraging ecology of a tropical seabird community of the Seychelles, western Indian Ocean (2009, background): “White terns feed both solitarily and in flocks and only the white-tailed tropicbird forages mostly solitarily (Feare 1981, Jaquemet et al. 2004, authors’ pers. obs.).”
Observed and predicted effects of climate on Australian seabirds (2011, background): “…SSTs associated with seasonal-scale decreases in prey availability, possibly owing to decreased productivity at lower trophic levels (Smithers et al. 2003; Peck et al. 2004) (Continued next page) and marine mammals to drive prey to the surface (Au and Pitman 1986; Jaquemet et al. 2004).”
Resource partitioning within a tropical seabird community: new information from stable isotopes (2008, background): “In the western Indian Ocean, seabirds commonly associate with feeding schools of skipjacks and to a lesser extent schools of yellowfin tunas and dolphinfish that force prey to the surface (Jaquemet et al. 2004).”
Tracking seabirds to identify potential Marine Protected Areas in the tropical western Indian Ocean (2012, background): “At-sea studies in the Indian Ocean have confirmed that most seabirds are associated with surface dwelling tunas (Jaquemet et al., 2004, 2005).”
