Causes and consequences of individual variability and specialization in foraging and migration strategies of seabirds (2017, background): “Young individuals may increase foraging effort to compensate for their reduced efficiency; for example, Weimerskirch et al. (2005) showed that younger and older breeders expended similar foraging effort dur- 124 Phillips et al.: Individual variability in seabirds 125 T ax on A g e A g es M ai…”
Short- and long-term consistency in the foraging niche of wandering albatrosses (2012, background): “…specialization in a large range of species, mainly reflecting high site fidelity or a consistent pattern in foraging behaviour (data loggers: Weimerskirch et al. 2005; Cook et al. 2006; Elliott et al. 2009; stable isotopes: Cherel et al. 2007; Anderson et al. 2009; Jaeger et al. 2010a; or…”
Free as a bird? Activity patterns of albatrosses during the nonbreeding period (2010, background): “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.”
Are seabirds foraging for unpredictable resources (2007, background): “It is likely that the dispersal of prey is indeed unpredictable, but the foraging strategy based on long looping movements with reduced energy expenditure allows for a predictable yield (Weimerskirch et al., 2005).”
Conserving pelagic habitats: seascape modelling of an oceanic top predator (2011, background): “This core area was limited by both the South Subtropical Front and the Sub-Antarctic Front in the north and south, respectively (Weimerskirch et al. 2005).”
Seabird foraging behaviour indicates prey type (2008, background): “With the invention of miniaturized bird-borne devices, seabird biologists have been able to examine many aspects of foraging behavior that were formerly difficult or impossible to observe (e.g. Charrassin et al. 2001, Catry et al. 2004, Takahashi et al. 2004, Weimerskirch et al. 2005).”
Lifetime foraging patterns of the wandering albatross: Life on the move! (2014, background): “1; Weimerskirch, 1992; Weimerskirch et al., 2005b), indicates that foraging ability declines with age, under the effects of senescence.”
Perspectives in Ornithology: Application of tracking and data-logging technology in research and conservation of seabirds (2009, unknown): “Similarly, tracking devices, wet–dry loggers, and stomach temperature loggers have been combined to monitor foraging and flight activit y (Weimerskirch et al. 1994b, 2005a; Phalan et al. 2007).”
