Home range size of adult Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) in a coastal and estuarine system is habitat and sex-specific (2016, background): “…lions (Phocarctos hookeri) off the Auckland Islands, New Zealand (Leung et al. 2012) and wandering albatross (Diomedea exulans) off South Georgia (Xavier et al. 2004) are examples where female foraging ranges have larger overlap with fisheries than males, resulting in higher female bycatch…”
Foraging plasticity in a pelagic seabird species along a marine productivity gradient (2010, background): “Moreover, it is well known that procellariiform seabirds of the southern (e.g. Einoder & Goldsworthy 2005, Xavier et al. 2004) and the northern (e.g. Shaffer et al. 2006, Magalhães et al. 2008) hemisphere travel long distances to exploit highly productive marine areas such as shelf slopes or…”
Wind field and sex constrain the flight speeds of central‐place foraging albatrosses (2009, background): “Black-browed, Gray-headed, and Wandering Albatrosses from South Georgia also exhibit some degree of sexual spatial segregation, with females tending to range at times through areas of lighter winds than males (Prince et al. 1998, Phillips et al. 2004, Xavier et al. 2004).”
Short- and long-term consistency in the foraging niche of wandering albatrosses (2012, background): “Wandering albatrosses are top predator species consuming varying proportions of prey according to local or regional resource availability (review in Cherel and Klages 1998; Xavier et al. 2004; Weimerskirch et al. 2005).”
Influence of trophic position and foraging range on mercury levels within a seabird community (2009, background): “This could be because we blood-sampled the albatrosses and giant petrels at the end of brood-guard, when foraging ranges are much more tightly constrained than in incubation or the later (post-guard) chickrearing period (Phillips et al. 2004, 2006, GonzálezSolís et al. 2008, Xavier et al. 2004).”
Foraging behaviour of four albatross species by night and day (2007, background): “Previous work at South Georgia found that wandering albatrosses spent 26 to 36% of their time overall on the water during incubation, 40% during brood-guard, and 43 to 51% during post-brood (Prince & Morgan 1987, Afanasyev & Prince 1993, Arnould et al. 1996, Xavier et al. 2004).”
Foraging arena theory (2012, background): “These areas of higher food concentrations appear to be are important foraging areas for higher trophic level organism such as sea birds (Hoefer 2000; Xavier et al. 2004), tunas (Royer et al. 2004) or whales (Bluhm et al. 2007).”
