Behavioral intermittence, Lévy patterns, and randomness in animal movement (2009, background): “Recent works suggest that there might be several routes to show the logic of adaptive stochasticity in animal movements (Bartumeus et al. 2003, Reynolds and Frye 2007, Weimerskirch 2007, Sims et al. 2008).”
The importance of oceanographic fronts to marine birds and mammals of the southern oceans (2009, background): “Several studies have also monitored the diving activity or feeding success of the individually tracked predators in relation to oceanic features (Bost et al., 1997; Wilson et al., 2002; Lea and Dubroca, 2003; Weimerskich, 2007).”
Effects of climate change and fisheries bycatch on Southern Ocean seabirds : a review (2012, positive): “The interspecific variability in trophic niche and foraging strategies of seabirds (Weimerskirch 2007) may also partly explain the observed contrasted re - sponses.”
Association of predators and prey at frontal features in the California Current: competition, facilitation, and co-occurrence (2009, positive): “…by a whale, a school of salmon, and a shearwater flock within the same meso- to small-scale region would be an interesting study, and became only recently possible to resolve in this age of advanced electronic and acoustic tracking technology (e.g. Weimerskirch 2007, Au & Benoit-Bird 2008).”
Seasonal variation in oceanographic habitat and behaviour of white-chinned petrels Procellaria aequinoctialis from Kerguelen Island (2010, background): “Tracking data now enable the exploration of relationships between animal movements/behaviour and oceanographic variables at different spatial scales (Pinaud & Weimerskirch 2007).”
Inter-colony movements, at-sea behaviour and foraging in an immature seabird: results from GPS-PPT tracking, radio-tracking and stable isotope analysis (2011, background): “with ARS behaviours at the distal portion, suggesting that these pre-breeders have some knowledge of where suitable patches are (Weimerskirch 2007).”
Quantifying habitat use and preferences of pelagic seabirds using individual movement data: a review (2009, methodology): “…spent searching or traveling, track straightness, FPT and flight speed with habitat have also been tested to identify which habitats are used more frequently for foraging (Weimerskirch et al. 1997b, Hyrenbach et al. 2002, Weimerskirch et al. 2002, Suryan et al. 2006, Pinaud & Weimerskirch 2007).”
Assessing the location and stability of foraging hotspots for pelagic seabirds: An approach to identify marine Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in Spain (2012, background): “This is particularly so for the most unpredictable tropical and sub-tropical areas (Weimerskirch, 2007), which might require flexible approaches to MPAs (Hyrenbach et al.”
Potential consequences of discard reform for seabird communities (2013, positive): “An increase in time and energy expended while searching for natural, more unpredictable, food sources could incur a significant cost (Weimerskirch 2007).”
Individual responses of seabirds to commercial fisheries revealed using GPS tracking, stable isotopes and vessel monitoring systems (2010, result): “Copepod abundance emerged as a significant predictor of path tortuosity, despite representing data averaged over the period 1953 to 2002 – indicating that productive patches are predictable over time (Weimerskirch 2007).”
Spatial interaction between seabirds and prey: review and synthesis (2009, background): “They can move over long distances at relatively low cost while their prey has a scaledependent patchy—and often elusive—spatial distribution (reviewed by Weimerskirch 2007).”
Influence of local and regional prey availability on breeding performance of African penguins Spheniscus demersus (2013, background): “Food abundance is often unpredictable in marine habitats due to spatial and temporal variability in oceanographic conditions (e.g. Weimerskirch 2007).”
Short- and long-term consistency in the foraging niche of wandering albatrosses (2012, methodology): “Similar to other studies of marine predators, we found differences in foraging behaviour at an individual level (see Weimerskirch 2007 for review), in this case, linked to foraging consistency.”
Combining vessel-based surveys and tracking data to identify key marine areas for seabirds (2009, background): “Commuting seems to be a common behaviour of pelagic birds within temperate and polar regions, and might suggest that breeding seabirds ‘know’ where to find food, probably from previous experience (Weimerskirch 2007).”
Memory keeps you at home: a mechanistic model for home range emergence (2009, background): “…mammals (Spencer et al. 1990, Schaefer et al. 2000, Foerster and Vaughan 2002, Martinoli et al. 2006), birds (reviewed by Greenwood and Harvey 1982, Weimerskirch 2007), reptiles (Arvisais et al. 2002, Heise and Epperson 2005), amphibians (Daugherty and Sheldon 1982, Crump 1986), fish (Rodriguez…”
Confusion reigns? A review of marine megafauna interactions with tidal-stream environments (2015, background): “This predictability is likely to be attractive to marine megafauna that otherwise range widely in search of food, even if more abundant, yet less predictable, prey are available elsewhere (Irons 1998, Weimerskirch 2007).”
Basking sharks and oceanographic fronts: quantifying associations in the north‐east Atlantic (2015, background): “…al. 2004; sharks, Pade et al. 2009; Queiroz et al. 2012; whales, Irvine et al. 2014; seabirds, Patrick et al. 2014), indicating that spatio-temporal predictability of prey encounter rates influences habitat selection across taxa (e.g. seabirds, marine mammals; Weimerskirch 2007; Bost et al. 2009).”
