Changes in diet and trophic position of a top predator 10 years after a mass mortality of a key prey (2010, background): “, 1993), and although squid species constitute main food resources for several species of seabird (Shealer, 2001), its dominance in the diet of little penguins has been related to poor breeding success (Cullen et al.”
Nearest neighbors as foraging cues: information transfer in a patchy environment (2004, unknown): “Instead, large aggregations of feeding seabirds are believed to result from the accumulation of independent foragers at prey patches (Hoffman et al. 1981, Duffy 1989, Harrison et al. 1991, Haney et al. 1992, Shealer 2002).”
Contrasting foraging tactics by northern gannets (Sula bassana) breeding in different oceanographic domains with different prey fields (2007, unknown): “DiVerent Wshing practices and traditions at diVerent colonies could be maintained by individual and social aspects of learning (Shealer 2002) and by philopatry to natal colonies (Coulson 2002).”
The trophodynamics of marine top predators: Current knowledge, recent advances and challenges (2015, background): “Seabirds feed at a range of trophic levels: on zooplankton, large crutaceans (like krill) and small to medium-sized fish and squids (Shealer, 2001).”
