Trans-equatorial migration and habitat use by sooty shearwaters Puffinus griseus from the South Atlantic during the nonbreeding season (2012, background): “…between breeding and nonbreeding seasons to exploit productive foraging sites in the South and North Atlantic, respectively; sites that are used by a diversity of top predators year-round (Croxall & Wood 2002, Barrett et al. 2006, Phillips et al. 2006, Guilford et al. 2009, Hedd et al. 2011).”
Seabird mortality on factory trawlers in the Falkland Islands and beyond (2006, background): “The area of continental shelf, which extends from Argentina south to Tierra del Fuego and east around the Falkland Islands, is probably the largest domain of its kind in the world (Croxall and Wood, 2002).”
Stable isotopes reveal trophic segregation by sex and age in the southern giant petrel in two different food webs (2005, background): “South Georgia is an important breeding site for many top predators, including several albatrosses, penguins and pinniped species, which often forage in Patagonian waters (Croxall & Wood 2002).”
