Spatial ecology and conservation of seabirds facing global climate change: a review (2009, unknown): “…Heerman's gulls Larus heermani and black Oceanodroma melania and least storm petrels O. microsoma occurred during the same time period (Ainley et al. 2005), and a warming climate is also the likely cause of a sharp decline of the local Cassins auklet Ptychoramphus aleuticus population…”
The importance of oceanographic fronts to marine birds and mammals of the southern oceans (2009, background): “It is well known that apex predators associate with fronts where they find favourable feeding conditions whatever the oceanic system (Bering Sea: Kinder et al., 1983; North Atlantic: Brown and Gaskin, 1988; Gulf Stream: Haney, 1986a,b; Eastern Tropical Pacific: Briggs et al., 1987; California Bounda”
Top-down and bottom-up factors affecting seabird population trends in the California current system (1985-2006) (2010, methodology): “Shearwaters are likely more prevalent during cold-water periods, but become more concentrated in localized areas in response to dynamic upwelling fronts (e.g., Briggs et al., 1987; Ainley et al., 2005).”
