Causes and consequences of individual variability and specialization in foraging and migration strategies of seabirds (2017, background): “…chicks increases during later rearing or in the post-fledging period, when males forage closer to the colony, dive longer and deeper per day and are forced to forage at lowerquality prey patches than females (Harding et al. 2004, Thaxter et al. 2009, Elliott et al. 2010, Burke et al. 2015).”
Sex-specific behavior by a monomorphic seabird represents risk partitioning (2010, background): “Auks of the tribe Alcini (Uria, Alca, and Alle) are monomorphic, and incubation and chick rearing are split roughly equally up to the time of chick departure, yet the male takes the chick to sea and rears it to adulthood (1–2 months), whereas the female remains at the breeding site for a period and ”
Flexibility in the bimodal foraging strategy of a high Arctic alcid, the little auk Alle alle (2009, background): “The chick is fed regularly by both parents until the end of the chick-rearing period when females tend to reduce their provisioning effort and leave the colony prior to fledging (Harding et al. 2004).”
