Regional and annual variation in black-legged kittiwake breeding productivity is related to sea surface temperature (2007, background): “…they have repeatedly been shown to be good indicators of the state of marine environments, with various aspects of breeding performance being well correlated with e.g. oceanographic variables, prey abundance and fishery activity (Regehr & Montevecchi 1997, Suryan et al. 2002, Wanless et al. 2007).”
Effect of environmental variability on habitat selection, diet, provisioning behaviour and chick growth in yellow-nosed albatrosses (2005, background): “…studies have shown that interannual differences in distribution and distance to the colony (Veit & Prince 1997), diet (e.g. Croxall et al. 1999, Suryan et al. 2002) and provisioning rate (e.g. Weimerskirch et al. 2001) have significant consequences for reproductive parameters, such as chick…”
Interannual variability in the Northern California Current food web structure: Changes in energy flow pathways and the role of forage fish, euphausiids, and jellyfish (2012, background): “…coastal ecosystems around the world, the availability of forage fishes has been correlated with the production of seabirds (Crawford and Jahncke, 1999; Jahncke et al., 2004; Suryan et al., 2002), and depletion of forage fish has significant effects on seabird populations (Cury et al., 2011).”
Determinants of reproductive costs in the long-lived Black-legged Kittiwake: A multiyear experiment (2004, background): “Kittiwakes at the Shoup colony appear to preferentially select 1-yr-old herring, and their percentage occurrence in the chick’s diet is positively correlated with reproductive success (Suryan et al. 2000, 2002).”
