Quantifying habitat use and preferences of pelagic seabirds using individual movement data: a review (2009, background): “Hence, habitat use and preference is dependent on time–activity budgets, which in turn change with life history stage, environmental conditions, and other factors (Phalan et al. 2007, Guilford et al. 2009).”
Perspectives in Ornithology: Application of tracking and data-logging technology in research and conservation of seabirds (2009, unknown): “With GPS, locations can be recorded every second at accuracies within meters of true location, and GPS tags are now relatively inexpensive and small enough (~20 g) to be used on many seabirds (e.g., Weimerskirch et al. 2002a, Grémillet et al. 2004, Hamer et al. 2007, Phalan et al. 2007).”
Free as a bird? Activity patterns of albatrosses during the nonbreeding period (2010, methodology): “Nevertheless, given that nonbreeding birds of all species were most active during daylight, just as during the breeding period (Catry et al. 2004, Weimerskirch et al. 2005, Phalan et al. 2007), considerably more foraging can be assumed to take place during daylight than in darkness.”
Foraging distance affects reproductive success in Magellanic penguins (2009, background): “Trip distance often varies across the breeding season, reflecting different constraints (Weimerskirch et al. 1993, Guinet et al. 1997, Beauplet et al. 2004, Lescroël & Bost 2005, Phalan et al. 2007).”
The conservation status and priorities for albatrosses and large petrels (2016, background): “frequency of landings, flight and resting bout durations), reflecting the distribution of preferred prey or degree of nocturnality, among others (Mackley et al., 2010; Phalan et al., 2007; Weimerskirch and Guionnet, 2002).”
Causes and consequences of individual variability and specialization in foraging and migration strategies of seabirds (2017, background): “However, such effects are far from universal; despite a degree of spatial segregation, activity patterns of male and female albatrosses are comparable during the breeding and nonbreeding periods, suggesting little difference in prey type or foraging method (Mackley et al. 2011, Phalan et al. 2007).”
Movements, at-sea distribution and behaviour of a tropical pelagic seabird: the wedge-tailed shearwater in the western Indian Ocean (2009, background): “Furthermore, foraging efficiency may be reduced at night because it is harder to see and catch prey at low light levels (Catry et al. 2004, Phalan et al. 2007).”
