• Isotopic niches and trophic levels of myctophid fishes and their predators in the Southern Ocean (2010, methodology): “It includes the four most abundant species (E. antarctica, E. carlsbergi, K. anderssoni, and G. nicholsi) that form the bulk of mesopelagic fish biomass in the Southern Ocean and all the most important species eaten by predators (Sabourenkov 1992; Kozlov 1995; Cherel et al. 2002c).”
• Use of stable isotopes to quantify seasonal changes of trophic niche and levels of population and individual specialisation in seabirds (2010, background): “Accordingly, WA chicks are mainly fed with large squids (Cherel & Weimerskirch 1999), while SA food is mostly composed of smaller squids and carrion of planktivorous seabirds (Ridoux 1994), which have lower nitrogen signatures (Cherel et al. 2002, 2007, 2008a).”
• Diet and foraging areas of Southern Ocean seabirds and their prey inferred from stable isotopes: review and case study of Wilson's storm-petrel (2005, result): “…period, the δ13C values of Wilson’s storm-petrels were similar to those reported for adult black-browed albatrosses Diomedea melanophrys from Iles Kerguelen, which are known to moult in subtropical waters (Table 2; Cherel et al. 2000), and adult Antarctic prions (Table 2; Cherel et al. 2002a).”
• Diet studies of seabirds: a review and recommendations (2007, background): “Also by analysing small pieces of feathers grown in the nonbreeding season, assessments of autumn, winter, and spring diets can be possible, depending on the species’ moulting chronology (Cherel et al., 2002; Hedd and Montevecchi, 2006).”
• Sea surface temperatures and behavioural buffering capacity in thin‐billed prions Pachyptila belcheri: breeding success, provisioning and chick begging (2007, background): “Thin-billed prions feed on the same type of prey that most of the commercially targeted squid and fish prey on, on small crustaceans such as euphausids and amphipods (Strange 1980, Cherel et al. 2002).”
• Combination of At-Sea Activity, Geolocation and Feather Stable Isotopes Documents Where and When Seabirds Molt (2016, background): “While AP and TBP show no obvious spatial and trophic segregation during breeding (Cherel et al., 2002a), both GLS data and feather δ 13 C-values confirm a latitudinal segregation during the inter-breeding period, with AP and TBP favoring temperate and subantarctic/Antarctic waters, respectively…”
• Diet and feeding ecology of blue petrels Halobaena caerulea at Iles Kerguelen, Southern Indian Ocean (2002, background): “At Iles Kerguelen, we studied during 3 consecutive breeding seasons the food and feeding ecology of 2 species of the genus Pachyptila, the thin-billed and Antarctic prions (Cherel et al. 2002), together with that of blue petrels (present study).”
• Spatial and temporal variation in the diet of the gentoo penguin (Pygoscelis papua) at Kerguelen Islands (2004, unknown): “Parathemisto gaudichaudii occurs in high densities in Morbihan Gulf (Bocher et al. 2001), in all seasons (Bost et al. 1994) and thus forms an important part of the diet of many seabirds (Cherel et al. 2002a, 2002b).”
• Nearest neighbors as foraging cues: information transfer in a patchy environment (2004, unknown): “Prions form large monospecific foraging flocks and capture mainly copepods and small euphausiids (Prince 1980, Cherel et al. 2002).”
• Diet and trophic position of Leach's storm-petrel Oceanodroma leucorhoa during breeding and moult, inferred from stable isotope analysis of feathers (2006, background): “The general latitudinal enrichment of δ13C (Rau et al. 1982, Goericke & Fry 1994) has been used to elucidate wintering areas of Southern Ocean seabirds from δ13C values in their feathers (Cherel et al. 2000, 2002, Quillfeldt et al. 2005).”
