Seasonal variation in oceanographic habitat and behaviour of white-chinned petrels Procellaria aequinoctialis from Kerguelen Island (2010, methodology): “The speed threshold was set to 20 m s–1, based on the maximum mean velocity of white-chinned petrels estimated from fine resolution GPS (Global Positioning System) tracks (H. Weimerskirch unpubl. data) and speed estimates reported by Spear & Ainley (1997).”
Environmental conditions and prey-switching by a seabird predator impact juvenile salmon survival (2017, background): “…with: 1) their diving ability, 2) their strong, rapid flight, which allows for rapid-enough return with food to satisfy chicks (Ainley et al., 1990; Spear and Ainley, 1997), and 3) three-week-old chicks accompany male parents away from the colony to where food is most available (Ainley et al.,…”
Association of predators and prey at frontal features in the California Current: competition, facilitation, and co-occurrence (2009, unknown): “Therefore, raw counts were adjusted for this survey effect following Spear et al. (1992) using species-specific flight speeds from Spear & Ainley (1997).”
Birds: blowin’ by the wind? (2006, background): “The predicted increase in air speed with increasing head-wind and decreasing tail-wind, respectively, has been established in a few studies (Liechti 1992, 1995; Spear and Ainley 1997; Alerstam and Gudmundsson 1999; Hedenström et al. 2005).”
