Causes and consequences of individual variability and specialization in foraging and migration strategies of seabirds (2017, unknown): “X Grecian et al.

Individual differences in searching behaviour and spatial foraging consistency in a central place marine predator (2014, background): “As environmental variables are thought to be good proxies for prey type and abundance (Votier et al. 2010), our fi ndings provide support for individual dietary specialisation.”
Sexual segregation in a wide-ranging marine predator is a consequence of habitat selection (2015, background): “In addition, gannets also scavenge for 90 discards from fishing vessels (Hamer et al. 2007, Votier et al. 2010, 2013).”
Applying stable isotopes to examine food‐web structure: an overview of analytical tools (2012, methodology): “These approaches have dramatically improved our understanding of food webs, for example, providing new insight into food-chain length (Post, Pace & Hairston, 2000), niche variation (Martinez del Rio et al., 2009a; Moore & Semmens, 2008; Semmens et al., 2009b; Votier et al., 2010), and human-driven s”
Local depletion by a fishery can affect seabird foraging (2012, background): “In such cases, birds may even be driven outside their optimal feeding grounds (Bartumeus et al. 2010; Votier et al. 2010), which may have critical effects, especially during the breeding season.”
Short- and long-term consistency in the foraging niche of wandering albatrosses (2012, methodology): “This suggestion is in accordance with the fact that many seabird species concentrate their efforts on persistent and predictable food sources (Weimerskirch et al. 2005; Woo et al. 2008; Votier et al. 2010).”
Potential consequences of discard reform for seabird communities (2013, unknown): “2011) and within (Votier et al. 2010; Stauss et al. 2012) gannet populations, suggesting that they might be able to switch to feed on alternative prey such as pelagic fish”
Annual and seasonal consistency in the feeding ecology of an opportunistic species, the yellow-legged gull Larus michahellis (2014, methodology): “Plasma and RBC retain information on diet from a few days prior to sample collection, up to the previous 3 to 4 weeks, as representative tissues of incubation and pre-laying period, respectively (Hobson & Clark 1993, Votier et al. 2010).”
Sex-specific foraging behaviour in northern gannets Morus bassanus: incidence and implications (2012, background): “…are sex-specific differences in the use of fishery discards (in light of recent evidence showing intra-population variation in scavenging behaviour; Votier et al. 2010); (4) adult gannets do not exhibit sex-specific foraging behaviour during the nonbreeding period when there are no parental…”
From lavage to lipids: Estimating diets of seabirds (2012, unknown): “Seabird biologists are exploring the use of these mixing models to advantage (Votier et al. 2010, Polito et al. 2011).”
The importance of pelagic longline fishery discards for a seabird community determined through stable isotope analysis (2010, background): “As highlighted in previous studies (e.g. Cherel, 2008; Flaherty and BenDavid, 2010; Votier et al., 2010), the geographic range in baseline isotopic values, the habitat heterogeneity, the turnover of tissues, and especially a priori knowledge on the ecology of species, should be considered when model”
Potential impacts of wave-powered marine renewable energy installations on marine birds (2010, background): “To date, work has focused on how changes in extrinsic factors such as fisheries (Frederiksen et al. 2004, Votier et al. 2004, 2010, Phillips et al. 2006), climate (Votier et al. 2005, Frederiksen et al. 2007a, Rolland et al. 2008, Grémillet & Boulinier 2009) and pollution (Votier et al. 2005, 2008,…”
Inter-colony movements, at-sea behaviour and foraging in an immature seabird: results from GPS-PPT tracking, radio-tracking and stable isotope analysis (2011, background): “Moreover, gannets rest on the water at night (Votier et al. 2010), which could lead to spurious identiWcation of ARS behaviours, so only Wxes obtained during daylight hours were included.”
