Age and sexual differences in the exploitation of two anthropogenic food resources for an opportunistic seabird (2010, background): “Previous studies have shown that adults of Audouin’s gulls fed their large chicks mainly on anchovies and pilchards (Pedrocchi et al. 1996), pelagic Wsh with a higher nutritional value than demersal Wsh and crustaceans (Massias and Becker 1990; Arcos and Oro 2002a; Grémillet et al. 2008).”
Significance of fisheries discards for a threatened Mediterranean seabird, the Balearic shearwater Puffinus mauretanicus (2002, background): “Purse seiners seemed less attractive to the shearwaters since they attracted fewer birds, and did so almost exclusively during the dis- 217 Mar Ecol Prog Ser 239: 209–220, 2002 carding activity in daylight (cf. Arcos & Oro 2002).”
Seasonal changes in the diet of a critically endangered seabird and the importance of trawling discards (2009, methodology): “During April–June, coinciding with the incubation and chick-rearing period of the Balearic shearwater, the abundance of anchovies and pilchards in the Ebro Delta is higher than during the pre-incubation period (Lloret et al. 2004), supporting the hypothesis that breeding adults exploit the most avai”
