SEARCH STRATEGIES OF A PURSUIT-DIVING MARINE BIRD AND THE PERSISTENCE OF PREY PATCHES (2003, background): “During this study, murres at both colonies delivered primarily capelin to their chicks (85–100% of total food), with smaller percentages of American sand lance Ammodytes americanus (De Kay 1842; 0–15%, Davoren and Montevecchi 2003).”
Shoal behaviour and maturity relations of spawning capelin (Mallotus villosus )o ff Newfoundland: demersal spawning and diel vertical movement patterns (2006, background): “…changes in capelin on marine food webs has yet to be fully realized, these changes have had direct consequences for the diets of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua; Rose and O’Driscoll 2002) and the diets (Montevecchi and Myers 1996) and condition of seabird offspring (Davoren and Montevecchi 2003, 2005).”
Seabird foraging behaviour indicates prey type (2008, background): “…specialist seabirds are frequently used as indicators for spatial and temporal changes in fish populations (Aebischer et al. 1990, Monaghan 1996, Davoren & Montevecchi 2003, Miller & Sydeman 2004) and for age-specific recruitment in fish (Barrett et al. 1990, Bertram & Kaiser 1993), generalist…”
How cod shapes its world (2008, background): “, 2006) and decreased body condition of prey (Davoren and Montevecchi, 2003; Osterblom et al., 2006).”
Influence of diet on growth, condition and reproductive capacity in Newfoundland and Labrador cod (Gadus morhua) : Insights from stable carbon isotopes (δ13C) (2007, methodology): “Seabirds have been used for this exact purpose (e.g., Davoren and Montevecchi, 2003).”
Diet studies of seabirds: a review and recommendations (2007, background): “These analyses have proved very informative in demonstrating decreases in the condition of forage species, likely reflecting broader bottom-up foodweb effects (Davoren and Montevecchi, 2003; Wanless et al., 2005a, b).”
Changes in Canadian seabird populations and ecology since 1970 in relation to changes in oceanography and food webs (2009, background): “…Sanger 1992; Bertram and Kaiser 1993; Ainley et al. 1995; Montevecchi and Myers 1996; Bryant et al. 1999; Tasker et al. 2000; Hedd et al. 2002, 2006; Davoren and Montevecchi 2003; Baillie and Jones 2004; Deguchi et al. 2004; Frederiksen et al. 2005; Mallory 2006, Furness 2007, Thayer et al. 2008).”
Regional patterns of kittiwake Rissa tridactyla breeding success are related to variability in sandeel recruitment (2005, unknown): “Alternatively, predator abundance and demographic performance (fecundity, survival) may be determined by the availability of their prey, which in turn may be regulated through density-dependent and/or densityindependent mechanisms related to environmental factors (Davoren & Montevecchi 2003).”
Fish, seabirds and trophic cascades in the Baltic Sea (2006, background): “…cascade · Uria aalge · Junk-food hypothesis Resale or republication not permitted without written consent of the publisher Mar Ecol Prog Ser 323: 233–238, 2006 2001, Davoren & Montevecchi 2003, Gjerdrum et al. 2003), buffering mechanisms (e.g. diet switching) and variation in predation…”
Diet and reproductive success of Adélie and chinstrap penguins: linking response of predators to prey population dynamics (2004, unknown): “The role of penguins as indicator species is greatly enhanced when studies provide data reflecting, not only the consequences of changes in the ecosystem, but also data with which to elucidate the causes of such changes (see also Davoren and Montevecchi 2003).”
Binary dietary responses of northern gannets Sula bassana indicate changing food web and oceanographic conditions (2007, background): “By the mid1990s, SSTs had returned to pre-perturbation levels, yet a return to prior warm-water prey landings by both birds and commercial fishers lagged by about another 10 yr (see also Davoren & Montevecchi 2003).”
Rockfish response to low-frequency ocean climate change as revealed by the diet of a marine bird over multiple time scales (2004, background): “…in predator-prey rela- tionships has proven valuable for demonstrating changes in stocks of forage fish and zooplankton that are difficult and expensive to monitor directly (e.g. Croxall et al. 1988, Hatch & Sanger 1992, Montevecchi & Myers 1996, Davoren & Montevecchi 2003, Abraham & Sydeman 2004).”
Low energy values of fish as a probable cause of a major seabird breeding failure in the North Sea (2005, background): “However, effects are now becoming evident in the Atlantic; e.g. Davoren & Montevecchi (2003) recently found a decline in the body condition of guillemot chicks at a colony in Newfoundland.”
