Movements, at-sea distribution and behaviour of a tropical pelagic seabird: the wedge-tailed shearwater in the western Indian Ocean (2009, background): “Furthermore, foraging efficiency may be reduced at night because it is harder to see and catch prey at low light levels (Catry et al. 2004, Phalan et al. 2007).”
Quantifying habitat use and preferences of pelagic seabirds using individual movement data: a review (2009, background): “In reality, birds flying in strong tail winds have been shown to fly well in excess of this speed (Catry et al. 2004a).”
Wind field and sex constrain the flight speeds of central‐place foraging albatrosses (2009, background): “The former tend to undertake rapid commuting flights between the colony and discrete, predictable foraging areas, whereas Wandering Albatrosses are thought to search for widely spaced prey over larger areas (Weimerskirch et al. 1997b, Weimerskirch and Guionnet 2002, Catry et al. 2004b).”
Seabird foraging behaviour indicates prey type (2008, background): “With the invention of miniaturized bird-borne devices, seabird biologists have been able to examine many aspects of foraging behavior that were formerly difficult or impossible to observe (e.g. Charrassin et al. 2001, Catry et al. 2004, Takahashi et al. 2004, Weimerskirch et al. 2005).”
Perspectives in Ornithology: Application of tracking and data-logging technology in research and conservation of seabirds (2009, unknown): “…avoid or exploit weather systems for long-distance travel (e.g., tachment or implantation of miniaturized sensors linked to data Murray et al. 2003, Catry et al. 2004a). loggers is now extremely widespread (reviews by Wilson et al. 2002a, Externally mounted temperature sensors (usually attached…”
Influence of trophic position and foraging range on mercury levels within a seabird community (2009, background): “First, they can be prone to biases, often under-estimating rapidly digested material (Phillips et al. 1999, Votier et al. 2003, Catry et al. 2004).”
Free as a bird? Activity patterns of albatrosses during the nonbreeding period (2010, methodology): “Nevertheless, given that nonbreeding birds of all species were most active during daylight, just as during the breeding period (Catry et al. 2004, Weimerskirch et al. 2005, Phalan et al. 2007), considerably more foraging can be assumed to take place during daylight than in darkness.”
